    Excellent safari company

    We had a wonderful time in Tanzania. The team is amazing and we really appreciate their hard work. We started planning a year ago. During this year, we had to make some adjustments for the schedule and we had a lot of questions regarding the trip because it’s our first time visiting Africa. Lappet-faced employees were very patient with us and responded very quickly. The communication was excellent with them. They were on time for all pickups. When we arrived at the kilimanjaro airport, the customs took a long time to approve our arrival visa, Eric waited us for almost 4 hours patiently and greeted us with warmth. We really appreciate his kindness after what we had been through at the customs. We like the hotels/tents/cabin that we stayed at and enjoyed the food there. The quality of the rooms worth what we paid. Our guide, Joseph is great! He always does his best to help us find animals and get the best position to take pictures, while keeping us safe and comfortable. Because of him, we were able to encounter some incredible animal behaviors, such as seeing lions hunting, and seeing endangered animals like rhino. He is so knowledgeable about wildlife and we have learned a great deal about animal behavior. We also visited the Datoga tribe and watched the Hadzabe people hunt. Overall it’s a great experience with the company. We will treasure this memory forever. Thank you Lappet faced and we will definitely find you when we come back to Tanzania!

    excellent

    It was an extremely perfect and unforgettable trip, and I highly recommend our guide Rigo. He not only actively introduced a lot of knowledge to us, allowing us to gain a lot of insights, but he was also very good at spotting animals. We easily saw the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and saw countless baby animals as well as various other animals and birds. Although the travel agency had a minor mistake in coordinating the walking safari, they quickly and actively resolved it. At the same time, the price was transparent. Under the same price, this hotel can offer better treatment, and it is a very honest business. If there is time during the migration season, I will choose this company again.

    A Perfectly Organised Safari – Safe, Seamless and Memorable

    We chose Lappet Faced Safari, and although we customised the itinerary ourselves, the company helped arrange our guide and book the lodges smoothly and efficiently. From the very beginning, their responses were timely and informative, which gave us great confidence in their professionalism. I truly believe this is a well-established and reliable company. The entire process was smooth, and the pricing was fair and transparent. We opted for mid-to-upper range accommodation. While lodges inside the conservation areas can be quite expensive, you really do get what you pay for. Although no place is ever absolutely perfect, we genuinely appreciated the warm hospitality and dedication of the lodge staff. Our trip was eight days in total. We spent two days in the Serengeti, two days in Ndutu, and another two days in the Ngorongoro Crater. The remaining two days were spent travelling between the city and the national parks. We were four people in one vehicle, which was the perfect balance — not overcrowded, yet still reasonably priced. The atmosphere in the car was wonderful. Everyone shared a genuine love for wildlife and remained quiet and respectful when we were close to the animals. Our guide, Rigo, was amazing. He is incredibly passionate about wildlife, and his driving skills and careful approach made us feel very safe and relaxed throughout the trip. We experienced no delays or vehicles getting stuck, which was largely thanks to his excellent radio communication with other guides — something that is extremely important on safari. I highly recommend doing a walking safari in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Being guided by Maasai locals, we learned about indigenous plants and how to read animal footprints — something you simply cannot experience while sitting in a vehicle. It gave us a whole new perspective on the environment and made the safari feel far more authentic and meaningful. Overall, it was a perfect journey, and I am already missing Tanzania.

    An unforgettable and truly terrific experience. Especially thanks Rigo.

    The 8-day safari cost $3,300 per person, with an additional $25 for my birthday cake and $36 for the walking safari (highly recommended!). Special thanks to our safari guide, Rigo. He prepared the picnic boxes with forks and knives himself, washed the vehicle on his own, and even helped me mail my postcard. Thanks to him, we successfully saw all of the African Big Five and the Ugly Five.

    8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Migration Safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Migration Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4,585 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 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Migration Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 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 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Migration 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 17 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 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti 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 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Migration Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Migration Safari?

    +

    Around 6 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 8-Day Mid-Range Serengeti 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.
