Better in life than on tv!

We should have extended our three day to a four day Safari. We visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro, we did a sunset safari, a sunrise safari and an all day at Serengeti national Park. It’s just amazing to see these animals in the wild. From the moment we were picked up for transfers it was a 10/10 experience - all staff were so friendly, the tents were well equipped and a great experience, the camps were wholesome, the food was delicious and the safari's were just the best experience ever! I would recommend Pinnacle to anyone!

3-day Safari

Key to our success was Frezier’s flexibility and ability to transform our wishlist into a perfect itinerary. Everything was prepared ahead of time and waiting for us, and we got to see big 5, and all the animals up close in Tarangire. Ngorongoro has hippos and rhinos which are more reclusive and keep their distance; probably a good thing as they are aggressive and territorial. Food was tasty, accommodations were a tent in Tarangire and luxurious villa in Mochi on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. My family made lifetime memories and Pinnacle were courteous, professional, and offered us things beyond our original booking and wishlist that surprised and delighted us.

Response from the operator: Dear Radulescu Family, Thank you for your thoughtful and generous review. Your feedback truly made our day, and we greatly appreciate your kind words. We are delighted to hear that your experience with Pinnacle was positive. Ensuring exceptional customer satisfaction is our utmost priority, and it is incredibly gratifying to know we have met your expectations. Please know that any advice or counsel you provide will be valued and diligently adhered to.

I highly recommend Pinnacle Adventures.

They partner with Dream World Travel (the company I booked my safari with) and they exceeded my expectations. We had a small group (only 3 singles on my safari) with one older gentleman that should have had a traveling companion with him, due to his age. He was constantly forgetting things, and telling (yelling) at our guide, telling him where to stop for pictures, etc. Our guide Idrisa was patient and professional with him the whole trip. Idrisa was the best guide ever! Funny, informative, and just 'cool', I had a great time with him. When my trip was over, I booked a few days on Pemba Island, finishing my safari time with Pinnacle Adventures, or so I thought! When I landed in Dar es Salaam, I was (surprisingly) met by Pinnacle Adventure Receptionist at the airport, so I could stay in the hotel they booked for me, and in air conditioning. This level of customer service is beyond the best!

Response from the operator: Tricia, Hi! You are missed a lot :) and on behalf of the Pinnacle team, I would like to thank you a lot for a great review... You Guys had a lot of fun we could tell by your smiles after safari and Zanzibar. Kindly welcome back for KILIMANJARO next time =D... Hakuna Matata

Best wildlife experience of all time!!

My girlfriend wanted to visit the wildlife reserves in Tanzania, I did not know where to start so I reached out to a friend, Joe, who had just visited Tanzania with a group of friends; he linked me up with Frazier from Pinnancle Adventures. All I have to say is the rest was history...a well planned and organised trip, no amount of words will do my experience justice. I will certainly go back for me.

Response from the operator: It was an absolute pleasure to make your visit to our beautiful Country unforgettable. Cheers Lloyd

3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

How does 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater compare to similar tours in Arusha?

+

It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 70. At $782 it costs less than the typical similar option ($1,031), so it is strong value. Best for couples and travelers who want a full-day outing.

Who is 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater best for?

+

It suits couples and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 72-hour length, minimum age of 1 and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Is 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater good value?

+

Yes. It starts at $782, below the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.

How much does 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater cost?

+

Prices start at $782 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater take?

+

Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.

Is 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 72-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 3 Days of Camping Bliss in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Arusha?

+

On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Arusha?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Arusha?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
