4 days Safari, UNFORGETTABLE!!!
What can you say? Words really fail us. The three of us (“Baba”, “Kaka” and “Dada”) had a truly unique travel experience across the three national parks Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, but there was so incredibly much more to see and experience beyond that 🤩. All of this was made possible by a fantastic team — starting with Ally on the organizational side and brought to life by Joseph, our guide and driver. He brought a wealth of experience — 20 years of it — along with eagle eyes (even while driving!), the knack for finding great photo spots amidst the crowds, a wonderful sense of humor, and even Kiswahili lessons. And the icing on the cake was Lewis, our chef — aka “Mr. Delicious” — who, despite his youth, spoiled us morning, noon, and night with fantastic, freshly prepared meals; so many 'Lecker-Schmeckers'. And the way the team managed to have an elephant wander into our tent camp at 5:30 in the morning... simply amazing 😉. A huge thank you once again, especially to Joseph and Lewis — a fantastic team. And the singing together in the car was unforgettable (you two know exactly what I mean...). Asante sana!

Unforgettable memories in Africa
We had an amazing experience with our incredible guide Joseph! Thanks to our guide, who has a very good eye to see animals. From planning to the actual safari, everything went smoothly and staying in the tent in the national park was also a unique experience. We definitely made unforgettable memories in Africa! :)

Unforgetable memories
It was a great tour creating unforgetable memories. We saw a lot of animals in an amazing landscape. Our guides were experiences and knew perfectly the good places to see the animals. We felt always comfortable, getting information about the animals from the friendly guides. The cook, Joaquin, made very good dishes, excellent. We are completely happy and can recommend them, clearly 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks a lot Josef and Tualib

unforgettable trip with kind staff and flexible organisation
My family and I went on a safari to Serengeti passing Lake Manyara and later Lake Natron with our guide Joseph, one of Ally's amazing team members who guided us with a lot of skill, fun and kindness through the amazing nature, rough roads and breathtaking landscapes. These days were among our highlights of our family-trip to Tanzania for sure! My whole family fit into the car (7 people) and we could all stand up comfortably during game drives, looking for lions, elephants, leopards, pumbas, ... and experience it all so closely. The roof of the safari car can be put up so you have an even better view and adventerous feeling while being on your journey. Joseph always listened to our wishes and drove really well while at the same time spotting every animal one could wish to see. We really were one group having a lot of fun, not just customers sent off to Safari. We will never forget this experience and can only say asante sana again for the best service, trustworthy management and easy, fast, and personalized organisation of this trip. 100/10!!!

We made the best memories!
Ally put together a fantastic safari package for us (Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) and then sent us off on our journey with Joseph, quite simply the best guide imaginable. Joseph is a wonderful person. He always has an answer to every question, remains calm at all times, and is always up for a good joke! With his many years of experience, he doesn’t race blindly through the parks just to reach a lion reported over the radio. Instead, he knows exactly where and how to track animals — nothing escapes his eagle eye. During our time together, we had many great conversations and learned a lot from him about the country, wildlife, culture and language. We were cooked for and looked after by Chef Lowassa, who repeatedly surprised us at even the most remote campsites with excellent breakfasts, three-course dinners and generous lunches — all served on proper tableware and with a tablecloth.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 days safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4 days safari cost?
+
Prices start at $800 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 days safari take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 days safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 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 days safari?
+
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 days safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4 days safari?
+
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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4 days safari 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.
