Best Safari Ever!!

At the recommendation of a colleague, I decided to take a safari in the middle of COVID outbreak. I needed a vacation and to go somewhere where I could safely be socially distant. There's no better place than the Serengeti to have enough space. From the moment that our guides pick us up from the airport (Fredy -- the guide -- and Godi -- the chef), it was a blasty blast. Fredy is a kindhearted, warm, gentle, fun, exceptionally intelligent and knowledgeable guide. Though he wouldn't ever let me out of the car to take pictures (I would jokingly tease him about this and put no serious thought towards it), he drove us around to our heart's content, showing us every large and tiny creature the Serengeti and Ngorongoro (and other parks) had to offer. At our request, he'd take us to watch the sun rise and sunset, he'd take us out to see elephants, he found a beautiful pride of lions which, due to the lack of other tourists, we had the pleasure of spending hours watching, and he'd just let us sit out in the open fields listening to the sounds of nature. He could tell you anything/everything about every single creature we saw. Godi accompanied us for each stop and had the most incredible food prepared for breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- spaghetti, pizza, eggs, salad, fruit...you name it, he had it prepared. More to the point, Godi was also an incredible guide and just overall stellar human. His family history is sooo interesting and unique! Between the two of them, each morning started with coffee and conversation, we'd go out seeking fun animals, listen to fun music, talk about life, each lunch, nap, do it all over again, watch the sunset over the acacia trees, and then eat dinner while playing cards. Truly, it was the adventure of a lifetime. I couldn't recommend this safari enough to anyone/everyone. You'd be LUCKY to have Fredy and Godi be your guides. You'd be even luckier to see all of these incredible animals in their natural habitat, including our own curious selves. Tips: Take photos! But, also take in each scene. Remember the sights and smells. Photos can capture a moment in time, but it's difficult to capture an experience! Also, be sure to have fun music queued up. :) And, bring a deck of cards.

Response from the operator: Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so glad to know that you had such a wonderful safari experience. I trust that you have great memories of your time on safari, as well as the friendship you've made here in Tanzania!

Trip of a lifetime!

When my friend and I booked a last minute trip with Alaitol Safaris, I had no idea I was about to embark upon a trip of a lifetime. Our tour guide, Freddy, took us around every day and used his encyclopedia-like mind to share the most amazing facts about the habitat and the animals. Our chef, Godi, adjusted to our diets and made delicious vegetarian dishes every meal. Honestly, I can't recommend this enough and hope you all are able to have this experience as well.

Response from the operator: Monica Thank you for your lovely comments! So glad that you had a good time, we would be happy to see you back here again. Kind regards Abel Kimani Director, Sales and Operations

5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

How much does 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater cost?

+

Prices start at $1438 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 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater 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 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: 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 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater 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 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater?

+

Around 1 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 5 Days Budget Tanzania Safari: 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 Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 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.
