Six Days Filled with Incredible Wildlife

We recently did this 6 day Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration Safari! It is truly incredible to see the migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and antelope in the Serengeti-Masai Mara. The guide was very experienced and friendly, explained the information of each park very well. Accommodation, food and service were all excellent. The Ngorongoro Crater also looked great. If anyone wants to see the Great Migration, then this tour is perfect. It's a full 5 stars!

Me and my friends had amazing safari tour with African overland. Their attention to detailed and expert knowledge truly made our trip unforgettable. African overland is undoubtedly the best safari tour in Arusha- Tanzania. And I'm greatful for the memories they helped create.

6 Days Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 6 Days Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration cost?

+

Prices start at $1803 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 Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration 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 Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Days Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration?

+

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 Days Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 6 Days Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration?

+

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 Mara River Crossing - The Great Migration 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.
