Saadi also knows where to find all the animals and Modi makes the most delicious food for every meal. I couldn’t rate Simba Adventures any higher.

Unforgettable Adventure
We booked a 6-Day-Camping Safari and everyday was amazing. Simba Adventures is very reliable and helpful. We had some problems with our flight to Tanzania and they have been very supportive. Simba Adventures create a perfect Plan for the Safari. Every Campingsite and every Nationalpark was varied, impressive and exciting. Our Driver Saadi give us a lot of informations about the Parks, the animals, the nature and the tanzanian culture. He showed us all the interesting und special parts of the Parks. Because of that we saw every animal. Our Chef Moodi accompanied us the whole time. His food was amazing and so delicious. Saadi and Moodi were very friendly and entertaining. We always feel save and happy. We can recommend the Safari by Simba Adventures a lot. Best regards Linda and Michel
Response from the operator: Many thanks for taking your time to share your great experience. We hope to see you back again in the future! Lots of greetings from Simba Adventures team.

My Best Camping Experience
We have just returned from an absolutely excellent camping trip, all perfectly organized by Simba Adventures. My wife and I have both done a lot of travelling and I have to say that this trip to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti NPs and Ngorongoro Crater is one of our best camping experiences. Ally Simba organized everything perfectly and our camping tour ran like clockwork. We had Saadi as our guide and he performed very excellently. I am more than happy to highlight a few of the things that I loved about our safari. 1. Pick-up and transfers to/from the airport, camp were always punctual and done in a clean vehicle. Saadi always made sure to have the Jeep washed every evening. 2. The Jeep was comfortable and spacious and very well maintained, it had the important things necessary for a safari like electric charging points for mobile phones and cameras, a fridge for water and soft drinks and a pop up roof for better viewing of animals. 3. Comfortable tents and sleeping bags 4. Wonderful meals prepared by Musa the cook 5. An experienced, knowledgeable and professional guide (Saadi) who knew the parks very well and was able to show us very many different animals. I believe that his expertise made our trip the success it turned out to be. Simba Adventures are the real deal! They gave us an amazing safari for a great price.
Response from the operator: Dear Felix, Thank you for your encouraging remarks about your time with Simba Adventures. We are always happy to read such a great comments from our customers like you.

Amazing Adventure Camping in Tanzania
My girlfriend and I just returned from Tanzania where Ally Simba of Simba Adventures hosted us on a wonderful camping adventure in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. To be honest the main reason behind our decision to go with Simba Adentures was based on their affordable packages, the great reviews on TripAdvisor also firmed our decision. We had a perfect time in the parks with our super guide Abbas. He was great company and took great care of us. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about all the animals and birds that we saw. He made sure that we got perfect views by positioning the Jeep perfectly. In the evening we would find at camp we would find our tent prepped by Bennie the camp attendant and cook. He was also responsible for all our meals which he did very well. By the end of our trip we had seen so much that the trip surpassed all our expectations for a great price!! If you are looking for real value, Simba Adventures is the company for you
Response from the operator: Dear Yordan, So kind of you to recommend us. We are so glad that you enjoyed your trip, and that you appreciated the skills and efforts of our guides. Thank you for this wonderful and helpful comments. We hope to see you again!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days Budget Tanzania Camping Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 6 Days Budget Tanzania Camping Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1780 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 Days Budget Tanzania Camping Safari 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 Days Budget Tanzania Camping Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Days Budget Tanzania Camping 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 Days Budget Tanzania Camping Safari 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 Days Budget Tanzania Camping Safari?
+
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 Days Budget Tanzania Camping 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, 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.
