Steve our tour guide in Tanzania

We went with Steve our tour guide to tarangire to see the wild life. Steve was excellent, his intuition was superb, he knew exaxtly where to take us and found the best spots to take pictures. More than that, he was helpful and nice. I highly recommend.

Response from the operator: We truly appreciate your kind review. It’s wonderful to hear that your safari was memorable and enjoyable. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back someday.

An Excellent Safari Partner

Suricata Safaris was a perfect partner for our first trip to Africa. They were very responsive to our questions prior to the trip, and made sure that the experience matched what had been promised in our quote. Our guide, Frank Jumbe, was excellent, knowledgeable, and absolutely committed to showing us the four parks in the best possible way. He ensured a wonderful interaction with a local Masai tribe that was a genuine highlight of the trip. Frank's guidance and personal experience contributed greatly to our trip, and he was able to find us the Big Five as well as dozens of other species. The accommodations we were offered were all excellent, ranging from the Under the Shade Lodge in Arusha (the staging center for our safari), to the Suricata-owned Suricata Boma Lodge, and the absolutely fantastic Zuri Tented Camp were excellent suggestions. Glamping at its very best. All in all we would wholeheartedly recommend Suricata to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania. They were great partners, completely involved, and - as noted - provided a terrific guide for our journey.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your safari and that our team made your journey memorable. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so happy we could be a part of your adventure. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future!

9 Days Private Camping Safari: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 9 Days Private Camping Safari cost?

+

Prices start at $3500 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 9 Days Private Camping Safari take?

+

Plan for about 216 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 9 Days Private Camping Safari worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 9 Days Private Camping 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 9 Days Private Camping Safari suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 216-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 9 Days Private Camping Safari?

+

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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 9 Days Private Camping 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 Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. 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.
