Amazing and super professional
Unforgettable experience! I was travelling alone and this was the first company of all I’ve contacted that made me feel safe and cared about. Matt was the most professional and patient to answer 1001 questions before my first safari trip, I can trust him with everything now 😂 The itinerary was perfect, in 4 days we visited Tarangire, South and Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro and I wouldn’t change a thing in the trip! And the lodges I was staying in were great. I had two tour guides during the trip, both were great, professional and very helpful. Huge thanks to Delu and Panda 🙌🏽 Saw so many animals, but the drive in the parks itself is unforgettable. Thanks to Matt and the whole team again, willing to come back with my family again next year!

Best Service
Our party of four had never visited Tanzania before and chose Rupia Adventure recommended by friends who resided in Tanzania - and they provided great advice and assistance long before even booking the trip. 4 days is a bit short for all of Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongoro, but do not skip any of it, rather add a day or two. We saw all the big five on multiple occasions, masses of wildebeest and zebras on the plains and many other great animals and each park has its distinct flora and unique splendor. An absolutely overwhelming experience for life! Our guide Pendael was extremely knowledgeable and managed to always put us in the right spot at the right time. We highly recommend this operator for safari tours.
Response from the operator: Thank you and welcome again

4 Days Amazing Lodge Safari
This safari was very enjoyable, our biggest desire was to see the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, surprisingly Matt suggested to start with Tarangire, this park is amazing with lots of elephants and lots of baobab trees, I can say it was my best park as my wish was to see a group of elephants and their babies, our four safari vehicles were so comfortable with four guides Simon, Pendael, Norah and Miraji, the Mvuli lodge and Serengeti Queen Tented Camp were good we slept alot, Serengeti is a big park we were very happy to see many animals and wildebeests migration in kogatende, ngorongoro crater was good we saw six rhinos and many more animals, we thanks all Rupia Adventure for this unforgettable safari
Response from the operator: Thank you so much

Honeymoon Trip
We did Safari Tour as part of our honeymoon, and every part of the trip was perfect. Our guide Steven explained everything we were curious about and even showed us interesting red bananas and banana trees. The special photo setup and surprise cake truly touched us. Highly recommended! (Thanks Steven and Matt👍👍)
Response from the operator: Thank you Yulia and Timothy, we are so happy to host you and welcome again in Tanzania

Beyond Our Expectations
From the beginning booking with Matt who offered suggestions was willing to accomadate to my request it went so very smoothly. Once on the ground Pendael the guide, driver was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and trees. He also seemed able to predict which path the animals would take so that I was in a position to view these wonderful animals. Samuel the cook made some delicious meals an and was a source of information about modern African history. Their colleague Silas , in Kenya was also very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals. This trip far exceeded my expectations. I saw the Big 5 and so very much more. The wildebeest migration is a bit overwhelming so many animals. If I ever make it back to Africa I will be traveling with Rupia Adventure. I will recommend them to my friends and any6interested in Safari.

4 Days Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4 Days Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater cost?
+
Prices start at $1,000 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 Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, 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 Days Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 35 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 Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, 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 Days Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater 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 Days Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater?
+
Around 12 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 Tanzania Safari - Tarangire, Serengeti, 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 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.
