Good Experience
We had an excellent experience with Simbaland Magic Tour during our Serengeti trip. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. A special thanks to Maria, who prepared our entire program with great attention to detail. She was always supportive, responsive, and made sure every part of our trip was well arranged. We also want to appreciate our guide, who was an outstanding driver and a very knowledgeable guide. He made our safari safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Super excellent
We just returned after 3 days of safari with simbaland, what about... we are really proud to have chosen this agency! Welcoming, professionalism and listening to the customer are the qualities that distinguish this agency, we wanted to thank Marian for taking care before, during and after the safari, Misako luxury camps and lodges for the fantastic Service of the ranges, and all the kitchen staff, waiters and reception, Ngorongoro coffee lodge for its wonderful apartments, equipped with all the comforts that every customer desires: indoor and outdoor shower, bathtub, two double beds and a panoramic pool overlooking the ngorongoro, also excellent cuisine, both for the quality and variety of food. Last but not least, we would like to thank Gregorio and Faustin, our guide and our driver, Gregorio is a guy who will go a long way, humble, polite, informed about the whole ecosystem and above all patient towards customers along with Faustin who drove throughout the safari, settling for us and making us spot most of the animals of the serengeti and ngorongoro. Thank you thank you thank you very much everyone!

Wonderful experience in the wild
We had a wonderful time with our skillful and customer oriented guides Dominc and Samuel. Due to their experience we were able to see mostly all different species. Amazing. Our stay in NGORONGORO Wildlife Camp (lodge) was outstanding. Perfwct view from every house downhill with lake view. We had a blast. It was sad we just booked 3 days. If you have the time try to make your stay at least one week to avoid any stress and gives you better chances to see rare species like leopard or rhino. The trip came with a very good cook who fulfilled all our needs and was able to serve warm lunch on Tour with a big veriaty of food, meat, vegetables... We started and ended in Arusha. Charity hotel is really good stay. All our flight where very well organised. Loved every second of it.
Response from the operator: Hello Jambo Thank you very much for beautiful safari feedback real appreciate it so excited to welcome you once again for the future safari Thank you kindly regards Editha

The Lion King in real life
The trip was very well organized from start to finish! We didn't have to worry about anything. Our guide, Elias, was very competent, he answered all our questions about animals and his company was very pleasant. During the trip, we were able to see the Big Five several times, with the exception of the leopard. The parks we visited were all very different and beautiful each in their own way. Our luxury safari lasted 3 days. We stayed in magnificent 5-star hotels offering exceptional Service and stunning views!

3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Lodge Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Lodge Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1440 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 & Ngorongoro Lodge 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 & Ngorongoro Lodge Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Serengeti & Ngorongoro Lodge 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 & Ngorongoro Lodge Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. 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 Serengeti & Ngorongoro Lodge Safari?
+
Around 4 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 & Ngorongoro Lodge 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 Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. 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.
