Best Safari with Best Company
We did the 5 day Impressive Tanzania safari and there aren't enough words to describe how amazing this experience was. Everything from the very beginning of getting a quote to the end of getting dropped off to our next transportation was completely professional and smooth. All communication with the head office/booking agents throughout the months leading up to the safari was terrific. Response time was excellent, very friendly and professional. Everything on the safari ran according to plan (as best as it could), and our driver Pendael was absolutely phenomenal. We loved every minute of the safari and I wish I could go back and do it every day! Accommodations were excellent along the way, and all inclusions were exactly as listed. Pendael was extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly, we loved spending time with him and learning all about the animals and nature throughout the safari. I wish we could have taken him throughout the rest of our travels in East Africa! We recommend Nata Travel Tanzania for all future traveler

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

+
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.
