⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely unforgettable safari with Cubs Expeditions! 🦁🐘🐆
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely unforgettable safari with Cubs Expeditions! 🦁🐘🐆 We have just returned from an incredible 4-day, 3-night safari in Tanzania, visiting Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, everything was seamlessly organised by Humphrey, who was brilliant at answering all of our questions quickly and giving us helpful tips and advice before we even arrived in Tanzania. The communication and organisation were excellent, which made everything feel completely stress-free. The accommodation throughout the trip was beautiful, and the food was also really lovely. Everything had been thought about and planned so well. Our initial briefing and airport collection with Hudhaifahassan was also fantastic. He explained everything clearly, made sure we knew exactly what to expect and got our trip off to a brilliant start. But the person who truly made our safari something incredibly special was our guide, David. 🦁❤️ David was absolutely outstanding. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, the parks and the environment, and his passion for what he does really came through. Thanks to David, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five several times, as well as so many other incredible animals and unforgettable moments. He somehow always seemed to know exactly where to go and where to look, and his determination to make sure we experienced everything was amazing. But what really stood out was how well he looked after us. David constantly made sure we were safe, comfortable, fed, watered and enjoying ourselves. Nothing was ever too much trouble. He was friendly, funny, incredibly easy to get along with and made the whole experience feel so relaxed. By the end of the safari, it honestly felt like we had known David for years — he became part of our little safari family. 🥹 We genuinely cannot thank him enough. A fantastic guide, a lovely person and an absolute credit to Cubs Expeditions. If you book with Cubs Expeditions, I would highly recommend asking for David — he really is exceptional and made our trip everything we hoped for and so much more. A huge thank you to Humphrey, Hudhaifahassan and especially David for giving us memories that we will never forget. Cubs Expeditions — highly, highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An Unforgettable 4-Day Tanzania Safari Experience
My wife and I just got back from a 4 day safari across three of Tanzania's national parks, and we're still buzzing about it. We managed to see all of the Big Five, which made the whole trip feel like a real once in a lifetime experience. We booked a personal tour rather than joining a group, and it made a huge difference. Having our own guide meant we could set our own pace each day and go after what we actually wanted to see, without waiting on anyone else's preferences. If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, this is the way to do it. One of the best parts was where we stayed, including a campsite in the Serengeti where animals wander freely around camp at night. It's a strange feeling at first, but a brilliant one, and something you don't easily forget. Our guide David deserves a special mention here. He was with us for the entire trip and clearly knew the parks inside out. He had a knack for spotting animals that were miles off or half hidden in the grass, and we honestly don't know how he did it. He never rushed us, adjusted our start and finish times without complaint, and kept pushing to find us more sightings even when we'd already seen plenty. He put in far more effort than we expected, and the trip wouldn't have been the same without him. We should also thank Humphrey, who helped put the trip together in the first place, and Hudhaifahassan, who gave us our initial briefing and picked us up from the airport. All in all, a fantastic, well run safari. Five stars, and an extra mention for David.

Our best family trip
I’m so happy that we booked our family safari with club expeditions limited safari, the safari was perfect, it was on top everything we could imagine, the best part of the safari was our guide, Umari, his great knowledge surprised us every time, he is true professional, he was so kind and help us with everything, we got to see all the animals that we wanted, including the big 5. The food was amazing and they always had a vegetarian/ vegan option. The lodges were majestic, the first and the third one in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was one of the best places we had ever been to. If you’re flying from Zanzibar I recommend to you to ask for at list 1 and half hour connection in Arusha because our was 50 minutes and it was a little tough. I also want to thank Humphrey, he was always here for us and answered every question, at first we booked our trip to march, but in the end we couldn’t make it and Humphrey managed to help us and change the date of the trip to July. This trip was the best my family ever been to, it surpassed everything , so thank you, Club Expedition for making our dream trip come true, and for all of you at home reading it, I really recommend you to book your safari trip with Club Expedition, for me it was amazing🙏🏼

Me and my friends had the best safari experience! I would really recommend booking Elli as a guide. He is a great guy who really includes and cares about everyone. His knowledge, energy and interest in the animals made the trip amazing! Would recommend everyone to book him as a guide.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 days safari in Tanzania: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4 days safari in Tanzania cost?
+
Prices start at $1700 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 in Tanzania 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 days safari in Tanzania worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 70 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 in Tanzania?
+
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 in Tanzania suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. 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 days safari in Tanzania?
+
Around 25 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 days safari in Tanzania 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.
