unforgetable adventure

recently had the privilege of joining a safari with Dancing Simba Safaris, and the experience was truly outstanding, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Ezra. Ezra's deep knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystems in Tanzania made the trip both educational and captivating. He expertly guided us through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park, ensuring our safety and delivering unforgettable wildlife encounters, including the Big Five. Ezra's warmth, hospitality, and insightful commentary enriched our experience, creating a personal connection that made this safari truly exceptional. If you're planning a Tanzanian safari, I highly recommend Dancing Simba Safaris with Driver Ezra for an unforgettable adventure.

Response from the operator: Hello Thank you very much for great safari feedback we are real appreciate it and we are happy to welcome you once again for future safari Kindly regards David

Amazing experience

David and the team were absolutely amazing! We had an amazing time. The guides were so knowledgeable and friendly, it made the trip that much better. There are a ton of safari companies but David and dancing Simba are TOP NOTCH. The guides took us on some Amazing game drives where we saw all the big 5 and so much more. To add, the food was unreal throughout our trip. Much better then some of the others around us. Highly highly recommend dancing Simba!! 10/10

4-Day Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 4-Day Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater cost?

+

Prices start at $600 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 Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater 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 Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 54 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 Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater?

+

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 Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater 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 Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater?

+

Around 19 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 Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater 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.

What is included in 4-Day Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater?

+

Included: Camping equipment; Private safari adventure; Lunch; Meals and drinking water; and Dinner. Not included: Tipping; Flight; and Person items. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does 4-Day Materuni Kilimanjaro Hike, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater include hotel pickup?

+
