    A must do holiday, made easy by Eastco

    Charles at Eastco helped put together our dream adventure holiday. He was very responsive and helpful. We were time poor, so we trusted Charles, and he nailed it, from the airport pickup to finding last minute accommodation. Even down to the guide, Aziz, who was a perfect match for us. He was so knowledgeable and managed our adventure (not just spotting animals, but how to find them). We could search together, laugh together and learn about Tanzania and the ecosystem though the National parks and Conservation areas (Tarangerie, Southern Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Western Serengeti, Central Serengeti. The journey was amazing with immediate animal sightings in Tarangerie. We tracked a lion after hearing it near our camp, looking for the signs, the paw prints. Into Southern, it was amazing to see where the migration starts, and who stays behind and why. In Ngorongoro, we were amazed to see 6 rhonos (3 very close up), which was amazing. Heading into Western Serengeti, we saw the migration. We learnt a lot more about the ecosystem, symbiotic relationships of animals and plants and of course survival. Central Serengeti, we were so fortunate to see a Cheetah mother (and daughter) plan their hunt. And leopards, they were hard to find, but not for Aziz. We spent a lot of our time not seeing another car. We saw all the Top5, most of the ugly 5 and even the leopard tortoise and other rarities. An awesome experience!

    Trip of a lifetime

    Wow what a trip of a lifetime, The four of us Rob, Phil and the two Sarahs as every called them travelled through Tanzania with simply the best guide there was. Wilson was brilliant, he took care of us ever day and sorted all our issues out, He even ensured we got on the correct plane when leaving for Zanzibar. The organisation by Charles was brilliant, everything was perfect and I cannot recommend this company enough. If you are thinking of going to Tanzania, then think Eastco as we could not fault them one bit. I hope Wilson remembers a couple of our sayings BCSD, the next time someone brings out a super long camera. Lol Regards Phil

    Once in a Lifetime

    I highly recommend EastCo. We had an amazing safari in Tanzania. Our guide, Wilson, was absolutely excellent -- he was organized, professional, a safe driver, highly knowledgeable, and kind. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

    Excellent, efficient safari comapny

    I found EastCo an excellent company to travel on Safari in Tanzania from beginning to end. Charles helped me to tailor make a 7-day honeymoon safari with my partner that included things that we liked at a price point that we were happy with. Communication was excellent from beginning to end and the experience surpassed our expectations. Wilson, our guide for the safari, was a treasure trove of knowledge, utterly professional, understanding of our needs and a lovely personality. He was also an excellent driver which is important when driving offroad for 5 days! He was eagle eyed and his knowledge of animals and particularly birds was an education for us! The places we stayed over the 6 nights were all excellent. As it was our honeymoon, EastCo had organised a few surprises along the way which were much appreciated. Finally, our airline lost our bags when we arrived into Arusha and it took 3 days for them to get to us. EastCo took everything on board and organised that the bags were shuttled out to us while we were on safari, not disrupting the trip at all! Would definitely recommend EastCo to anyone - the level of detail and care in planning, communication and the people involved as well as what I found was a very competitive price are all great reasons to book with them.

    A perfect Safari tour through Tanzania sept 2025, (4 pers, family from the Neterlands)

    We start our search to have a family safari trip beginning of March 2025 for our trip in the first week of September... There are a lot of companies who offer these trip. We get in contact with Charles from EASTCO. We make clear what we like, and we ask him what could be the best Itinerary for our trip. After we had always quick feedback it give us a good feeling. At a certain point everything was settled, before the first payment we had contact by phone, and everything feels well, so we pay the deposit. We get directly feedback that the payment was received and we got a new statement, this is what we go with all payments. Also closer to the tour we got more information about we can expect more, information from the driver etc. And then the tour starts on 1 September. We had as driver MR Wilson, who is a very kind person, speak clearly Englisch and he has a big knowledge of the country, culture and the nature/animals We expected a lot... but we became much more. We had a great time with him. Also we had the possibility to change time schedule etc. There is just 1 word, and that's perfection, that’s for the hole EASTCO company and workers.

    7-Day Great Migration Safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 7-Day Great Migration Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3,150 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 7-Day Great Migration Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 168 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 7-Day Great Migration Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 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 7-Day Great Migration 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 7-Day Great Migration Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 7-Day Great Migration Safari?

    +

    Around 8 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 7-Day Great Migration 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, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. 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.
