SAFARI OF A LIFETIME!!
We had the best safari ever and thanks too our driver Joseph who made it even more amazing. He was friendly, easy to get along with, and really knew his stuff. One of the highlights was when he spotted a leopard up in a tree that we would have completely missed Thanks to Joseph, we saw so much wildlife we seen them all, The big 9, The ugly 5 & lots of birds. Every day brought something new, and Joseph always seemed to know the best spots to be in at just the right time. The whole trip felt relaxed and well organised. Joseph always made sure we were comfortable, never rushed (pole pole) and his knowledge of the animals and the park made everything so much more interesting. The car was spotless and comfortable too, which made the long drives a breeze. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re planning a safari, definitely ask for Joseph. Asante sana best day safaris

His sharp eye, deep knowledge, and friendly personality really shine through in your words—we’ll be sure to share your kind feedback with him. It’s wonderful that you were able to see the Big 9, the Ugly 5, and so many birds, all while feeling relaxed and well taken care of. We truly appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back for more adventures. Asante sana! 🙏

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Safari Experience – A Perfect Adventure!
The safari tour with bestday safari exceeded all our expectations (especially the Great Migration) - thanks to our incredible guide Jackson and the flawless preparation and support by Xenia. From start to finish, this was an unforgettable adventure! Our guide Jackson was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about wildlife, ecosystems, and local culture with such passion that every moment was both educational and thrilling. Not only was he an expert tracker (spotting animals we would have missed entirely!), but he was also eager to fulfill all our wishes and always ensured a pleasant atmosphere with his great sense of humor. Xenia's support and preparation were impeccable—from the smooth booking process to the well-planned itinerary. We enjoyed the delicious meals, and comfortable accommodations. The team thought of everything, ensuring our safety, comfort, and enjoyment at every step. I highly recommend the team of bestday safari. Thank you sincerely, Xenia and Jackson, for a once-in-a-lifetime experience 🙏
Response from the operator: Hey Desiree We were so happy to have you & Catrin as our clients. It is always nice to hear that you enjoyed the safari & also the knowledge of our guide.

We had an unforgettable 4-day safari with Best Day Safaris! The highlight: witnessing the Great Migration in Serengeti – truly breathtaking. Our tented lodge was luxurious and surrounded by wildlife, with delicious food throughout. A huge thank you to Jackson, our incredible guide – knowledgeable, funny, and always one step ahead. He made the trip unforgettable! Also, special thanks to Xenia for her outstanding support during planning. She answered all our questions patiently and thoroughly. We also had a personal welcome and detailed briefing in Arusha before the safari – very professional. Everything was perfectly organized. Highly recommended – especially with Jackson and Xenia on your side!

If you want to safari in Tanzania, use this company
From the initial booking, advice and guidance, Peter and his team were excellent. On arriving at Arusha, and being transported to the Tulia hotel (recommended), everything went smoothly. We then were collected by our guide, Immanuel the following day, for the next four days he guided us, informed us, looked out for us and provided great company. Our last stop at Eileen’s tree tops was a welcome rest before we left Tanzania. Highly recommend…. And if you can get Immanuel as a guide then 👍
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for the kind words, we really appreciate this and are grateful to help you make this trip memorable. Our team & Immanuel thank you a lot :) We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure someday!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4-Day Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro cost?
+
Prices start at $1,753 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 Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and 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 Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 181 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 Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and 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 Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and 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 Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro?
+
Around 63 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 Safari from Arusha: Tarangire, Serengeti and 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.
