Simply excellent

I have to give this experience a solid 5 star. Our guide, Michael, is knowledgeable with animals. He can spot any animals when he is driving. He is excellent with directions, diving skills, bringing us lunch boxes, courteous and making sure that we are all comfortable at any giving time during the trip. I highly recommend this tour company, as well as Michale as the guide.

Amazing first trip to Africa

Almasi Africa made my first trip to Africa easy, exciting and full of incredible experiences. In Arusha, we hiked to a beautiful waterfall and did a coffee tour. The 5 day would life Safari was spectacular. We saw elephants, lions, leopard eating its prey in a tree, giraffes, zebras, and a python. Our driver, Michael, was amazing at spotting animals and making sure we had the best trip possible.

5 Days Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 5 Days Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing cost?

+

Prices start at $1960 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 Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing 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 Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing?

+

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 Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing 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 120-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 5 Days Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing?

+

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 Serengeti Great Migration Safari - Mara River Crossing 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, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai. 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.
