Trip of a lifetime!

We spent 8 days in the Serengeti with Andrew, Felix, and Jimmy as our guides. We did two nights with crossing in the north, 2 days at La La Salama in Central, 2 days at lake Masek in the south, then a day at the Ngorogoro crater. The guides were outstanding. We saw all of the big five plus many other animals. Our vehicle with Felix as guide also wanyed birds of which we saw a lot of and saw 2 bat eared Fox a rarity. I could not imagine going with another provider as we were very well taken care of. La La Salama owned by Wakanda is a gem. Songs by the staff a special treat! Thank you Serengeti Wakanda!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommend! 🦁

We had the most amazing experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Our driver, Felex, was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable, a very safe driver and so hospitable. He made us feel completely at home and went above and beyond to make our safari experience unforgettable. We learnt so much from him and always felt safe and well looked after. Aishwarya was also fantastic to deal with throughout the whole process. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and tailored our safari around our needs. She was so helpful in making sure we got the most out of the time we had and made the whole booking process completely seamless. If you’re considering a safari, I would 100% recommend booking with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. The level of service, knowledge and personal care we received was exceptional. Thank you so much to the whole team, especially Felex and Aishwarya, for making our safari such a memorable experience! 🐘🦁❤️

EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS

My husband and I were added to the tour my daughter and her husband booked. This was our #1 trip we wanted with our grandchildren and have been wanting it for years. We were not in the initial planning but the tour was AMAZING!! The accommodations were exceptional. La La Salma, Arusha Farm House, Moon Bow Lodge, and Madeline Tented Lodge were wonderful with outstanding service!!! To me it was more luxury than midrange considering where you were. The food was amazing and the lunches out in the range were wonderful and freshly prepared. ANDREW our guide was EXCEPTIONAL. 1st and foremost he made special attempts to involve the children (7,12) with questions, games and incentives. He also knew 6 languages and when he learned our granddaughter knew French, he engaged her with lessons and conservation throughout the trip. 2nd He made every attempt to make the ride and experience as informative (his knowledge is vast) and comfortable as possible. He responded to our request to stop and talk to some of the Maasai and some unexpected stops we requested. 3rd he was so respectful of the environment and the animals and their habitat. Multiple times he told us to be patient and we would see something. Camera ready we captured it!! Mating and an attempted kill. THIS SAFARE EXCEEDED ALL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS!!! Ask for ANDREW. He will deliver !!! Would return tomorrow and use this tour operator again!!! If Andrew would be our guide 😊😊

The best journey of my life

From the moment we started planning our trip almost a year ago, the agency provided us with excellent service. They designed a tour according to our interests and needs, and they always answered all our questions clearly and promptly. Going on this safari was a dream I had had for a long time, and I was able to fully enjoy it thanks to the agency and the incredible attention we received from our guide, Israel. He is a very kind, attentive, and patient person, with extensive experience and a genuine commitment to making sure you get the most out of your safari. I highly recommend this agency and Israel’s services. I am very happy with our decision to book with them.

REQUEST DANIEL!!!!

Absolute amazing!!! This company is 12/10 in every category. Daniel was our guide for the 6 day tour and he is what made it truly the trip of a lifetime. First of all, his driving is impeccable. We learned the hard way doing the balloon ride (which is amazing you should book) that if your guide doesn’t know how to navigate the “African massage” then you will be nauseated, will probably throw up and unable to enjoy the safari. Daniel’s driving was stellar and I never got car sick once. He also knew the places/ locations to hit early so we wouldn’t have the mad rush of all the other cars coming to see the animals. The way he would take care driving as well. He would not drive close behind people so the dust wouldn’t swallow us. He wouldn’t do crazy maneuvers other drivers would to get around another car or get us close to the animals. I called him a leopard because he was so stealthy. He would slowly, quietly yet also quickly, get us up CLOSE to the animals. When we first met him, he was very quiet but as the days continued, we got to know each other and soon we were laughing at jokes and he would play his great music playlist for the long drives. He kept saying we had amazing luck because we saw literally EVERYTHING at the most perfect times but I truly think it was him who was bringing the luck. When you book this company, request him !!!! The company itself is so well run. I have a gluten allergy and they made sure everyone was aware and checked before each meal. I felt so safe eating all the foods which truly made the experience relaxing and I could fully immerse myself in the moment. The truck itself was very comfortable and outfitted with a phone charger, PILLOWS (like seriously!!!), binoculars, baby whips for the layers of dust on your body lol and EVEN WIFI!!! I still can’t get over that. Fresh water every day and a cooler in the back for drinks later. The lay out of the program was perfect. The cute picnic basket with our lunches was genius and it was really nice to have a sit down meal and get to know Daniel. My husband and I would have dinner alone then and it was the perfect set up. We got to have our alone time together and enjoy each other’s company and talk about the craziest of what occurred that day. If you are looking for a company, book them. There was a hiccup with booking Balloon ride but they handled it seamlessly. Yes we would move hotels every day but it wasn’t stressful or chaotic. It was a fun and honestly peaceful experience because they handled literally EVERYTHING. All I had to do was sit back, relax and go see some animals!

It is a premium pick. It starts at $1,900, above the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.

How much does 6 Days Private Budget Safari cost?

+

Prices start at $1,900 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 Private Budget 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 Private Budget Safari worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 329 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

+

Is 6 Days Private Budget 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 Private Budget Safari?

+

Around 115 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.

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.
