    Best experience possible

    Definitely the best experience in my life. The warm hearts of Sady, Moody and Ally Simba made it perfect. Everything perfectly planned, and even when we had a minor inconvenience, our guides managed it as professionals. I definitely recommend having at least 7 days of Wildlife Safari Experience. There is so much to know and you never get bored. It's simply magic.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, thank you, thank you...what a wonderful review of time spent with us for your 8 days wildlife safari experience. We look forward to doing it all again when you return with your family - and promise that Sady and Moody will be there to share more experience of your safari in Tanzania. Asante Sana from the Simba Adventures Team!!

    Luxury and Adventure with Simba!

    Simba Adventures is the best travel company you could ever choose. We chose Simba Adventures because of their affordable prices and great online reviews. Working with Ally Simba was a smooth and easy experience. When we arrived, we were picked up from the airport and taken to For Points by Sheraton in Arusha where we got a detailed briefing about what expect during our safari. We were also introduced us to our guide, Abbas. Hewas an amazing guide during our trip; he made sure that we saw all the big 5 and would drive the jeep carefully to get as close as possible to the animals without scaring them off and then park as we savoured the views and took pictures. We were very delighted to witness the wildebeest migration which is a spectacle second to none!!! Abbas was knowledgeable and very professional. He told us many things about the animals and birds we saw. The accommodations were excellent. The staff was very welcoming and professional and the food was delicious. The trip was the best experience I have ever had and I recommend that you book with Simba Adventures for your African safari.

    Response from the operator: Hello, We are happy to read your trip feedback! Let other customers who are planning their next trip to Tanzania read and get the touch of what we do. Thank you so much and hope to see you again!

    Wonderful Safari

    We just returned from the 8 days Tanzania safari and it was just a perfect adventure. We had so much action that I will hardly ever forget this wonderful experience ranging from the huge numbers of wild game that we saw, the rich cultural mix of local communities that we visited (Maasai and Hadzabe tribes), the experienced and friendly service providers and of special mention is Novatus our guide who was such a darling during the whole trip. Kudos Simba adventures for executing our trip perfectly.

    8 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 8 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5,590 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 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience 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 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience?

    +

    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 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience 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 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience?

    +

    Around 1 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 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience 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.

    What is included in 8 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Beverage drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 8 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    +
