Phenomenal experience - thanks to Thom!
We went on 6-day safari that was partially tailor-made and included Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Maiara, Central Serengeti, Ndutu, 2 walks with armed rangers as well as cultural interaction with the Maasai. Thom exceeded our expectations by far, was an incredible source of knowledge, highly accommodating to special wishes and changes and very responsive in the communication before and during our journey. Anytime again with Great Escapes and THANK YOU, Thom, for being such a wonderful guide and friend!

7 day Serengeti Great Migration Safari
Wow! Tanzania is spectacular and Great Escape Trails is wonderful agency with great sense of humor. We were collected at the airport on the first day also in the last day. We spend 4 nights in the Serengeti National Park and it worth. The great movement in the Northern Serengeti is something not to miss in your life.

6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How does 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari compare to similar tours in Arusha?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 59. At $2,470 it sits above the typical similar option ($1,031), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 146-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $2,470, above the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.
How much does 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $2,470 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 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari take?
+
Plan for about 146 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 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 6 Day Big Cats Encounter 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 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 146-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Day Big Cats Encounter Safari?
+
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 146-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Day Big Cats Encounter 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 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.
