Safari
The safari was amazing and the company was easy to deal with from start to finish but it was ruined by the driver Simon who thought he was a racing driver doing speeds of 80mph overtaking in blind corners nearly hit a deer in the park and a child on a crossing which ruined the experience for us So 5 stars for the company and would use again but not for the driver

The good bits We did 3 days 2 nights the company was so easy to deal with from start to finish the safari was amazing and the lodge was comfortable I would book with this company again Bad bits Had a driver by the name of Martin all went well from the pick up at the airport however at about 4pm he said he had a bad stomach although he ate constantly he said the safari was nice but it would be nice to enjoy the lodge we decided to leave early and he drove like a maniac to get back speeds of 80mph Second day he was constantly on his mobile said boss had called to say no more work for a while and he relied on tips once again wanted to go back to lodge early Third day He hid husbands packed lunch and said lodge forgot to pack it but we saw it in jeep covered over he overtook on bends and drove like a bat out of hell nearly hit a deer on the way to the airport he drove like an idiot skidded on a crossing and missed a little child on the crossing nearly hit a dog Nice enough guide but really needs to slow down before he kills someone

We had a fun time with family!
We had a great Safari trip where all our family enjoyed. We were afraid it might be too long of a ride for a 5 and 7 years old kids. they enjoyed it as much as we did. Our driver ( Peter) was very experienced and gave us a good guidance in every aspect, from the landscapes to the type of animals and cultural insight. Be careful of the monkeys stealing your lunch ;)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly enjoyed having you and showing you around Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. It’s wonderful to hear that your children enjoyed the trip just as much as you did. Peter will be so glad to know his guidance and insights made your safari memorable. And yes, those playful monkeys do like to keep our guests on their toes! We hope to welcome you and your family back again for another adventure in Tanzania. Warm regards, The Silver Sky Travel Team

3 days like a dream!!
Our three-day safari with Silver Sky Travel was simply unforgettable. The huge herd of elephants in Tarangire, the lions, zebras, gazelles in Ngorongoro Crater – everything was mesmerizing. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel, food, transportation – everything was on time and organized. The journey to and from Zanzibar was also hassle-free. I would definitely recommend it!
Response from the operator: It was such a pleasure having you on this adventure! From the vibrant landscapes to the incredible wildlife encounters, we loved sharing the highlights of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Manyara with you. We’re glad everything ran smoothly and that our team could make your journey seamless and enjoyable. Thank you for trusting us with your safari, we can’t wait to welcome you back for more discoveries in Tanzania! Warm regards, The Silver Sky Travel Team

The best safari of my life in just 3 days: Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara travel experience..
Our 3-day safari from Zanzibar was, in a word, one of the best experiences of life. Silver Sky Travel planned the entire trip so well that there was no problem anywhere. On the first morning, we were picked up from Zanzibar Hotel and taken to Arusha, from where we started our journey towards Tarangire National Park. As soon as we entered the park, we were overwhelmed to see giraffes, and herds of wild buffaloes and elephants. The guide was very cordial and friendly, sharing great information about the behavior of each animal. Accommodation, food and transport were all excellent. The second day was the Ngorongoro Crater - a huge, green-covered natural wonder. Here, for the first time in my life, I saw so many animals together - lions, hippos, hyenas, and countless zebras and wildebeests. The whole crater is like a separate world, where new surprises are hidden in every corner. The last day I went to Lake Manyara National Park - the diversity here is completely different. I saw bird shows, monkeys running around the lake, and even a lion resting on a tree branch! All in all, this 3-day safari will be etched in our minds forever. Thank you to the Silver team for such a wonderful experience. And of course we'll be back!

3 days Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dar es Salaam.
How much does 3 days Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar cost?
+
Prices start at $1,250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dar es Salaam 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 Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar 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 Dar es Salaam is not rushed.
Is 3 days Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dar es Salaam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 days Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar?
+
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 Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar 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 Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar?
+
Around 6 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 Dar es Salaam 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 Dar es Salaam and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 days Safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara from Zanzibar 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 Dar es Salaam 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 Dar es Salaam?
+
On Outty we rank every Dar es Salaam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 nights 3 days safari to mikumi national park, 1-Day Mikumi National Park Fly-In Safari from Zanzibar, 3 Days Safari to Mikumi NP - Accommodation Inside the Park. 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 Dar es Salaam?
+
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 Dar es Salaam?
+
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.

Not included: Any international flights and visa fees; Personal Expenses such as laundry, communication, drinks, etc; and Travel Insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
