    don't go on safari with this party!

    In May, I discussed going on safari with the company. We'd chosen a three-day safari. Unfortunately, the evening before the safari, we were told that one day would be canceled. It suddenly became a two-day safari, without consultation! We later reached a compromise: we would get our money back for one day and a night's stay. We're still waiting to hear from them (three months later) about how they promised to honor that promise. As soon as I contact them, they respond and then never contact me again. My conclusion: don't go on safari with this company!

    Children's first safari adventure in the Serengeti..

    This was the first safari for our kids and they were thrilled from start to finish. On the first day, they cried when they saw the group of lions and many zebraz. The guide gave them interesting information about the animals, which was a great learning experience for the children.the moyo tented was amaizing At night, everyone sang together beside the campfire, and they were fascinated by the numerous stars in the sky. It was an extra ordinary and enjoyable trip that our family will remember forever. The1 (one-day Ngorongoro Crater Safari) was very special for our whole family. The guide welcomed us with a smile from the early morning and made the safari even more interesting for the kids. The children were very excited to see the moment of the lion hunting and the rhino's. After lunch at a picnic site spot in the crater, the whole area seemed like a dream. The opportunity to see the natural beauty and animals from this close will remain an unforgettable memory for us.

    Serengeti Safari

    We had an amazing 3 day safari in the Serengeti. Our driver Frankie was amazing, and made sure we seen as many animals as possible. We got so close to so many beautiful animals in the wild! Our chef, John, also made our stay even better. The food was freshly prepared everyday and tasted amazing! We were really impressed with the quality and taste of the food, considering we were in the middle of the Serengeti. The trip to Ngorogoro Crater was also great, we seen lots of animals very close - I would recommend going here too. I would definitely recommend this company and tour to friends and family. We had an amazing experience and a trip to remember.

    An unforgettable safari experience!

    My friends and I had a fantastic experience on our safari. Overall we thought it was great value for money. We especially loved our food on the trip and our chef made sure we were well fed throughout the day. Our driver had 10+ years of experience driving around the Serengeti and shared his expertise with us as we drove around the safari. We managed to see many animals during our trip (including the Big 5!) Overall, everyone we met were super friendly and made sure we had an unforgettable experience and felt safe throughout. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone - it is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

    Truly unforgetable

    My three day Safari with Kipok was truly an unforgetable experience! Seeing the beautiful landscapes and animals was truly spectacular. Our guide Albert went the extra mile and made sure that our trip was magical. He drove us safely through tough weather conditions, he told us all about the animals we saw and the places we've been to. I highly recommend Kipok!

    3 Days Safari to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 Days Safari to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,200 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 to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania 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 to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 35 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 to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania?

    +

    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 to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania 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 to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania?

    +

    Around 12 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 to Serengeti National Park & Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania 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?

    +

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.
