Overpriced
I am not rating this tour as 1 because of the locations in the tour. These places are more than 5 stars but the rating is due: It was not the tour operator mentioned here who did the tour. I was with another travelers who apparently did not book the same tour with the same operator. Also, when asked as to the amount paid for the tour, we all paid different amounts. I paid the amount as advertised here but apparently, you can have it in a way lower amount when you bargain. I suggest you look for an operator once you are in Arusha instead of booking it online (now I know this is how it works in Africa). I suggest you book with Arunga tours (they were the operator who did our tour). Julius (our guide) was amazing most of the time. Although overpriced, I would have to say that this is one of the best trips I've had (especially the descent from Ngorongoro to Serengeti - Rift Valley was amazing!).
Response from the operator: Thanks Georsaddg for booking camping safari with us and taking your time to leave a review. We would like to confirm to you that we are based in Kenya and according to relationship between the two countries Kenya and Tanzania, we are not allowed to drive in Tanzania parks and therefore we contract our Sister Company in Tanzania as it happened and we are indeed grateful that your safari was Amazing and one of the Best Trips as you have mentioned above.

Response from the operator: Thanks a lot h20lady58 for giving us chance to serve you and going ahead writing a wonderful review. We are indeed grateful you had an amazing experience with our Team. We look forward to serving you again in the near future

I had an excellent safari...
<p>I had an excellent safari experience. Saw 4 of the big 5 on the Serengeti in one day which can be difficult because of leopards are very reclusive. Saw 3 of the big 5 at Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire also in one day. Did not have the chance to visit Olduvai Gorge. The campsite for Lake Manyara was not up to the same criteria as at the Serengeti or Ngorongoro as it was located in town. I had private tour at Lake Manyara and Tarangire as I was the only one to sign up. There was some confusion as to which operator that I would be with because the operator is based in Kenya and hires local operators for Tanzania but everything worked out. Our guide was able to point out animals to far to see which allowed the group to see a couple of rhinos and a male and female lion.</p>

6-Day Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 6-Day Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha cost?
+
Prices start at $2275 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 Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha 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 Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6-Day Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 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 Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha 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 Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha?
+
Around 2 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 Tanzania Camping Safari: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Cater and Tarangire National Park from Arusha 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.
