Kenya - Tanzania Safari and Wildebeest Migrayion
Overall good safari and great experience with the wildebeest crossings. The guides were well informed, had knowledge and had good local intelligence, were well connected that enabled them to take us to places where wild life were spotted. Food varied depending on where we stayed. Lunch options could have been better. Overall great experience. Aside did not like the shopping or the experience of visiting the Masai village-the activities at the village was designed for getting money from tourists .. Prices are more than four times the actual cost, so negotiate to get a fare price. This was not communicated clearly. In addition, the communications related to the border crossing processes could be better. Overall great experience.

African Safari
We did a fabulous 9 day safari through the Masai Mara, Northern and Central Serengeti and NgoroNgoro. We got to see some Wildebeest migration across the Mara, with lions, cheetahs, leopard, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, elephants. Zebras, Giraffes, and a wide range of animals in the deer category, hyenas, jackals, various wild cats, ostriches, predatory birds etc. we had a great land cruiser on the Masai Mara leg, although the vehicle on the Tanzania leg appeared a little tired. The guides in both the Kenya and Tanzania legs were great. Amani, on the Tanzania leg was very knowledgeable. The accommodations were very nice with the Kubu Kubu lodge in the Central Serengeti being the highlight. Packed lunches were not very appealing, but the breakfast and dinner were nice. The Masai village visit enroute to NgoroNgoro was interesting but not particularly appealing as it looked like a show put together to extract money from gullible tourists. The stopovers for souvenirs could have been better performed if proper guidance was provided. The guides get a commission on the purchase volume, so there’s a bit of a conflict of interest. While I am accepting of the guides making a commission, appropriate guidance on what to expect should have been provided. In any case, the stop near Arusha on the return had the best overall selection and quality, albeit pricier, but one needs to negotiate hard. Overall, a very good experience.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 6 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River cost?
+
Prices start at $4085 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 Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 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 most popular in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 6 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River?
+
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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Across the Mara River 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.
