A simply unforgettable experience! 🦁✨
A huge thank you to our guide Charles, who was exceptional from beginning to end. Thanks to his experience, his knowledge of the terrain, and his passion, we had the chance to experience an incredible safari, far from the overly touristy circuits, with moments that we will never forget. Thanks also to Noël for all the organization, his availability, and especially his responsiveness, both before our arrival and during the stay. These are moments that you experience once in a lifetime, and we are extremely grateful to have been able to experience them under these conditions. Thanks to the whole Budget Safari team for this exceptional adventure! ❤️
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re delighted Charles made your safari so enjoyable and memorable with his knowledge and great company. We hope to welcome you back again!

Great Adventure
I would like to recommend Budget Safaris team to anyone who is looking the best safari experience. We booked with this company a 4-day safari ( ngorongoro, tarangire, lake manyara, visit to a massai village and a snake park in arusha). They knew where to find the animals and we saw even more than we expected. They where very kind and to be with them was also fun. The accommodations that they suggested where exactly what we where looking for. If we ever been in Tanzania again we will book with them for sure.

4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro cost?
+
Prices start at $1,300 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 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro?
+
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 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro?
+
Around 1 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Group Lodge Safari Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro 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.
