Best trip ever !
The most incredible trip of my life! I can’t thank Yuna enough — she was amazing from beginning to end! She answered all our questions with so much patience, and once we arrived everything was absolutely perfect. The accommodations were beautiful, the service outstanding, and everyone we met was incredibly kind. We always had plenty of food and water — we didn’t miss a thing! The Serengeti was beyond worth the long drive, and every park had its own unique magic. This experience is something I’ll never forget. I’m so grateful to Yuna and her entire team. I’ll recommend them to everyone — and I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

We loved this experience. Thanks BestDay Safari
We booked with BestDay Safari. My partner and I still impressed after almost a week. Such a beautiful experience. Our assigned driver, John, was professional and very funny. We were very well taken care of. We particularly enjoyed the Ngorongoro Ordeali Hotel. What a stunning place. The performances by the dancers and the food was great. We would’ve loved to see more predators (animals) but that’s no one’s fault. We will definitely coming again. Only two things I’d change: 1. Better lunch meal for day one as it’s a 10 hours drive from Arusha to the Serengeti. One lunch meal with no snacks and other beverages except water. This would’ve been nice. 2. Let tourists know before hand about the dust during the drive that they should perhaps bring face masks, or provide those for guests. Otherwise, beautiful experience. Yuna and her partners from BestDay Safari- you were all phenomenal. Thank you. We will see you again soon.
Response from the operator: We’re so happy to hear you and your partner had such a beautiful experience with us! John will be thrilled to know he made your safari fun and memorable, and we’re glad you enjoyed the stunning Ngorongoro Ordeali Hotel as well. Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions on meals and dust—we’ll certainly take these into account to improve. Yuna and the team loved hosting you, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more adventures!

Unforgettable Experience with Bestdays Safari
These were days we will never forget. The organization by Bestdays Safari was flawless in every way. Yuna is a truly special person – she fulfilled every single request of mine, going above and beyond all expectations. She was attentive, caring, and always present from the very beginning until the end of the trip. Muro, our guide, was simply outstanding. Tireless and incredibly knowledgeable, he did everything he could to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. His passion and dedication made the experience even more special. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone looking to experience an authentic, safe, and truly unforgettable safari. Thank you for everything!
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you had an amazing safari with us! Yuna and Muro will be thrilled by your praise. Thank you for choosing Bestdays Safari — we look forward to your next visit!

Highly recommended!!
The staff at Bestday Safaris made my long awaited dream come true. I had been dreaming of spending time in Serengeti for years and after meeting Stephen, he guided me so well. We made plans that fit our budget, our wishes, best hotel stays during the safari, and last but not the least - our guide Muro 😍 He treated us so well, at the end of the trip, super warm and treated us like his daughters. We spotted all the big 5 and Muro was very adaptable to our wishes. I could not have asked for more. Simply the best 💯
Response from the operator: Hi ! It is so wonderful to read that we could make your lifelong dream worth it. Muro also enjoyed the time with you. Your kind words mean a lot to our team. We hope to see you again for another adventure soon!

Amazing safari and perfect trip
The whole experience and safari was amazing. Xenia and her colleagues helped us with a great planning before hand. Driver Moro was very experienced and could tell us all the information about the animals we needed. The tukaone camp was very great, good food, nice staff and luxury tents. Visiting the Serengeti was a lifetime experience and we would definitely recommend BestDay Safaris.
Response from the operator: Hi Morris Our team is very happy to read these kind words ! The staff of Tukaone Camps had a pleasure hosting you, and we hope your next visit brings even more unforgettable encounters.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4 Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater cost?
+
Prices start at $990 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 Serengeti and 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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Serengeti and 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 Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 96-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 4 Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater?
+
Around 11 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 Serengeti and 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 Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. 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.
