Does not disappoint!!
I spoke to more than 10 safari agencies. Anita stood out from the beginning because she was very responsive and you could ask 10 questions at once, she would kindly and patiently reply to all 10. I made several adjustments and special requests to our plans. We wanted to stay in nice lodges, so Anita let me hand-pick the lodges and adjusted the itinerary to all our wishes. We came to a very reasonable agreement in terms of price. We designed the route and picked the lodges, but we did not carry the extra cost of a private safari and so the agency offered another 4 people to join our itinerary, but never changed the route agreed with me. Then came our guide and driver Joseph. He is awesome! Excellent driving skills and orientation in the tough roads of the Serengeti. Super reliable, dealt with logistics of pickups, dropoffs and meals with minimal impact on the fun safari time. Joseph is kind, professional and knowledgeable. Friendly but serious about his job. Knew everything about the animals and answered sooo many questions. Drove such long distances but could spot the tiniest of creatures while driving! A guide like this really makes your safari. I highly recommend this team! The meals were great thanks to our chef, we always had lunch in comfortable places. On the final day there was an issue with a hotel in Arusha, but Joseph didn’t leave us until he knew we were safe and happy in a different hotel, and then Mohamed the agency boss came personally to check on us! I forgot something in the safari jeep and they went out of their way to come meet me and give it back. Really in terms of professionalism and reliability we are very happy! Thank you for an incredible experience and hoping to send many friends your way!
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words Ines. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and we agree Anita and Joseph are truly gems to have on our team! We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to working with you again in the future! Once again thank you.

Very good! It's worth it! Overseas expectations.
It's worth it! For those who dream of doing a safari or even those who have any doubts, I can say after 20 days in Africa: the Serengeti was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It's really like you were on one of the shows on the National Geographic Channel. The animals are beautiful, as are the landscapes. We could see everything from leones with their puppies to hyenas eating a carcass. Our four-day itinerary included Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The first is like a natural zoo; everywhere are various species. You can get very close and see the animals in detail. The second is the girl of the eyes. Extensive plains in which the game of survival is seen from close. It is simply stunning, alive and real. In our script said two days in the Serengeti. But that's the point. We arrived around 12:00 and left at 12:00 the next day. So, in reality, you don't have two days, but just one. This happens because you can only stay 24 hours inside the park. If you exceed this time, a new "day" is charged. You pay an extra to stay another day. Therefore, check this issue with the agency before proceeding with the package. After everything we've seen I would say: it's worth paying one more day and staying longer. We slept one day in the park and was in a tent. I'd say for one or two nights all right. But it is not possible to sleep so well and restore the energies. So consider that if your script is long. Try merging the two types of accommodation. And if you choose tents, if you have no experience in camping, like me, know that during the night it is very cold. Bring a second leather or a warm coat. The sleeping bag is not enough to keep you warm. Do not forget towels, toilet paper, socket adapter. The campsite does not provide this kind of benefit. Finally we visited the Ngorongoro boiler. A habitat created within a crater with about 20 km in diameter. There you are more likely to see the famous and so rare rhinoceros, but we were not so lucky. Anyway, the landscape is beautiful. And I would not exclude this park. I highly recommend Serengeti Camping Safari. It failed us at nothing! Anita, our direct contact, was always very requested and polite. He helped us in many things. Whether to call a taxi, buy a cell phone chip or with booking airline tickets. Talk to her. She knows which restaurants to indicate, which places to visit and knows all the parks that exist in Tanzania. If you want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or Meru, or if you want to have an experience with some tribe, she can provide all the assistance. Our two drivers were very cool. Joseph was with us the first day. He explained about birds, social organization of lions, differences between the various antelopes, rodents.. if you are interested he will have a lot to say. David, more laughing, always spirituous. And we can't forget the cook! He was just very good! Every day there was no banquet! Every day a different menu. Summary: very happy and satisfied! 10/2021 It's worth it!

3 nights 4 days Stunning Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, perfectly organized
I have to say that I contacted to several companies to organize my safari in Tanzania. Finally, I chose this one due to the great attention from the person behind, she really took care to every detail, Anita Ayo, thank you very much for creating such a nice experience :) tour name was Serengeti Camping Safari. They offer exactly what it is written on the page. From that, you can modify slightly the route, days and sleeping places. In our case, my gf and me, we decided to go the 4 day / 3 night trip including Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Safari cars are for 6 people. For Lake Manyara we were lucky to be only 4. Regarding the safari, as always, depends on the luck you have to see the animals, we were lucky and we manage to see 4 from 5 of the big 5 (We missed the Rhino). But it is true that specially in Serengeti and Ngorongoro is incredible the quantity of animals. About the sleeping places, in our opinion, it is a game change to pay more and select the better ones. Specially in two camps that we visited Serengeti Heritage Luxury Camp in Serengeti and Pakulala Luxury camp in Ngorongoro, the experience is incredible. It is difficult to describe with words, but to summarize you have luxury camps with perfect tends, perfect views from the camps, hot water in the tend, dinner with views and being close to the animals. Just to finish, say that dont hesitate to talk to them and describe what you are looking for, I am sure that they will help you.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much we love to receive feedback. It is great to know that your safari was a success, thank you for a wonderfully detailed review, it was nice having you as our client. We appreciate the recommendation, please do come again for another adventure!

Really great experience
The scenery and wildlife was truly astonishing. The animals were so beautiful and surreal to see in their natural habitat. The weather was good overall. Some rain but mostly sunshine and warmth and we didn't even get a single bug bite! In addition to the things intrinsic, the people were so friendly and helpful everywhere we went. It was truly a trip of a lifetime.
Response from the operator: We are delighted Tanzania amazed you and so pleased to read that the stuff were so helpful and friendly. We prioritize our clients and work hard to provide good services. Thank you for choosing Serengeti Camping Safari.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 Day: Taste of Wildlife: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4 Day: Taste of Wildlife cost?
+
Prices start at $3,400 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: Taste of Wildlife 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: Taste of Wildlife worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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: Taste of Wildlife?
+
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: Taste of Wildlife 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: Taste of Wildlife?
+
Around 2 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: Taste of Wildlife 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.

Included: All activities (unless labeled as optional); Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and A professional driver/guide. Not included: International flights; Tips form safari driver/guide and chief; Personal items; and Travel insurance, visa fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 7 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 4 Day: Taste of Wildlife offered in?
+
