This unforgettable African safari tour will take you to the Ngorongoro Crater, featuring one of the highest concentrations of game in Africa. Here you will witness an amazing spectacle of African wildlife – inside a self-contained world teeming with animals. Your tour will also take you to the Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, consisting of a shallow but huge soda lake, at the foot of the Great Rift Valley’s western escarpment. Finally, your African safari tour will also take you to the Tarangire National Park, which features some of the greatest concentration of game in Tanzania – second only to the Ngorongoro Crater – but less crowded and unspoiled – possessing a wild beauty. The size of the selected Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks, make them a perfect choice for our shorter safaris.

    Perfect service, amazing experience and friendly encounter.

    Amazing experience! First day I saw all the animals I wanted to see in Serengeti, cheetahs, lions, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes and gazelles. The service was impeccable as well, when I called to get a safari, the response was quick and Justin did his best to find the best safari experience for me with the budget I gave him. Even during my stay at Arusha, he would make sure I arrived safely and arrange my bus to my next destination. Really impressed! I would recommend to friends and family.

    Response from the operator: Thank your for the feedback and welcome back again travel with us into the with Jungle serengeti and ngorongoro crater including zanzibar

    Okay but could have been better

    My whole safari was really messy from day 1, I did booked last minute because the tour I had canceled out of the blue 8hrs before my safari started (First Rupia Adventures canceld and then Super Game Tanzania) but got my confirmation right away and at the time I was supposed to get picked up at my hotel the tour operator wrote to me that I had to cancel and pay on arrival but by that time it was to late to cancel and get a refund so i talked with someone from Viator and they pretty much made him go a pick me up and do the safari. So I was picked up almost 3hrs after my safari was supposed to start and I was never with one group. I was told my group left on time so they kept on placing me on different groups, on whichever was available to go to the place where I was supposed to go that day so it was really messy sometimes i didnt even know at what time they were picking me up and had to constantly write and ask to Justin, my tour operator. Also de camping site I was placed in is a public camping. it wasn't the worst place and the people there are really nice and it was ok but it wasnt what I was expecting for the price they charged. There were roaches in the tents and in the dining area. On the other hand the sites are amazing, and got to see a bunch of the animals so the safaris by themselves were really good And I got to meet a lot of really nice people in each group I was placed in. So in the end was okay but the whole lack of planing really got into my nerves and created a lot of unnecessary problems.

    Fantastic safari and so well taken care of

    We really enjoyed our safari experience. Of course Serengeti, tarangire and Ngorongoro are amazing places and just being there, seeing the animals, admiring the landscapes is pure magic. But Rafael and our guides made it extra special because of their dedication and kindness as well as their knowledge of the place, fauna and flora. We had several issues with our jeep (no way around it, the roads are as they are) and Rafael and our guides always found prompt solutions to make sure we kept enjoying our time and all these parks could offer us. Forever thankful ❤️

    3-Days Tanzania Safari Tours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3-Days Tanzania Safari Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,140 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 Tanzania Safari Tours 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 Tanzania Safari Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Tanzania Safari Tours?

    +

    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 Tanzania Safari Tours 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 Tanzania Safari Tours?

    +

    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 Tanzania Safari Tours 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.
