Two magical days
It was a fantastic experience, our guide Philipo was amazing. We got to see 4/5 of the big five, it was very special. We stayed at Manyara Escarpment for two nights, it’s a really chill place. We did the Safari first at Lake Manyara then at Tarangire Park, during the Safaris we got packed lunch and it was really tasty, as well as the dinner buffet at our stay. Watch out for the monkeys in the picnic zone in Tarangire, they go for your lunch!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such a wonderful feedback. It is great to hear that you had such a special time exploring Lake Manyara and Tarangire, and that catching four of the Big 5 made for such an exciting experience 🐘 Resting up at Manyara Escarpment sounds like it provided the perfect relaxed backdrop after a full day in the bush, and we are glad the food kept you well-fueled throughout! Philipo is a brilliant guide, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He will be happy to know he helped make your trip so memorable. Also, thank you for the tip about the picnic spot monkeys in Tarangire,they certainly keep everyone on their toes! We really appreciate you traveling with us, and we would love to welcome you back anytime to hunt for that final member of the Big 5! Warm regards The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

Great experience and a great guide
We spent two days on safari in Tarangire National Park and near Lake Manyara National Park. We had two fantastic days where we saw all the animals we had hoped to see. We also had an amazing guide, Julius. He was polite, service-minded, and always made sure that we had everything we needed. The place where we stayed was also fantastic. We had the entire camp to ourselves and stayed in a luxury tent. Overall, this was an amazing experience that was absolutely worth the money.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Client Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that your 2 day safari experience exceeded expectations and that you were able to see all the animals you hoped for. It is especially rewarding to know that Julius made such a positive impact with his guidance and expertise, and that you enjoyed the accommodation as well. We are delighted that you found the experience worth the money, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We hope to welcome you on another unforgettable adventure in the future. Best regards The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara cost?
+
Prices start at $673 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 From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara?
+
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 From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Arusha: 2-Day Safari Through Tarangire and Lake Manyara 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.

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.
