A very pleasant short safari experience.
We opted for the 3-day group camping option. Suricata Safaris maintained clear communication prior to pickup. Jeremy handled the vehicle with great care and was attentive to everyone in the group. The tents provided were clean and easy to pitch. Seeing the Ngorongoro crater landscape was certainly a highlight. A very dependable team.

super rad 3 days in the wild!!
if you’re trying to catch wildlife on a budget, book with suricata safaris. jeremy was our guide and he was awesome at spotting hidden cats in the trees. sleeping in a tent inside serengeti while hearing hyenas way off in the distance was insane. overall a really neat experience with a chill group.

Great budget group camping safari.
Did the Serengeti and Ngorongoro 3-day tour with Suricata Safaris last month. Traveling as a group made it really fun and easy to meet new people. Jeremy kept us entertained and tracked down so much wildlife—elephants, zebras, and a lion family with cubs! Sleeping in tents under the stars inside the parks was an amazing experience. Everything was well coordinated from pickup to drop off. Definitely recommend booking this one.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your balanced review. It’s great to hear what you enjoyed, and we value your suggestions as we work to deliver even better safaris in the future.

3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $850 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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari 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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 790 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari?
+
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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari 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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari?
+
Around 277 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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari 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.
