BEST SAFARI EVER!!
Our AWESOME safari trip, guided by the amazing Assad, was filled with excitement, joy, laughter, and so much fun! I have never seen so many incredible animals in my life! The combination of the best music and the most breathtaking views left me amazed every single day! Assad is truly the funniest, kindest, coolest, and of course, the BEST guide and friend ever! At the end of each day, we were welcomed with the best food I’ve ever had, freshly prepared by Richard, the chef. This was a 100/10 experience that my family and I will never forget!!

Incredible 3-Day Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari
I had an amazing 3-day safari to Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The guide was also our driver and was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Thanks to his experience, we saw an incredible amount of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a leopard. We also had a chef who prepared fresh, tasty meals at the campsites every day, which was a great bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. The camping arrangements were comfortable and well managed. The scenery in both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely stunning. I felt well taken care of throughout the trip and would highly recommend this tour operator to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

An unforgettable experience that we will talk about forever!
From start to finish our experience was incredible. We are a family of 5 (kids ages are 9, 12 and 15). We booked a private tour (a must) and our guide, Freddy, treated us to the most amazing 3 days and 2 nights of our lives. We saw the most wonderful animals, drove past interesting tribes and fell in love with African people, culture and their unbelievable wildlife. Do not hesitate to book this trip. Yes, the camping is tough (I’m not a camper) but it adds to the experience and Richard cooks plentiful and flavoursome food. Tips - you get dusty as you want to keep the windows open to see the animals so do not bring nice clothes, it can also be cold so tracksuits are great. You’ll need warmer garments (hats, hiking coats, base layers for the night at Ngorongoro (you’re camping at 2800m). If you have questions, Assad is helpful and knowledgeable as well as passionate about what he does. Now book!

Assad was very helpful right from the get go. He made sure everything was in order, and once we got going, the guide (Hamsa) was also an incredible host. We had an amazing time, saw a lot of cool stuff, all the while being taken good care of. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering going to Serengeti and Ngorongoro!

Perfect safari
The safari was amazing one of the best holidays to date, I really recommend Assad. He knew the savannah like the back of his hand as well as being a lovely guy to chat too. Couldn’t recommend this enough .

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3 Days Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $780 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 Safari Serengeti & 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 Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 39 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 Safari Serengeti & 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 Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Days Safari Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Around 14 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 Safari Serengeti & 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.
