⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience in the heart of Tanzania
We spent two simply wonderful days with Bigen Safari Tour, visiting Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and exciting experiences of our trip to Tanzania. The organization was excellent, and during the safari we were lucky enough to see so many animals, practically all those we hoped to encounter, including almost all of the Big Five. Seeing them in their natural habitat, so close up and immersed in incredible landscapes, is something we will hardly forget. A truly special note of merit goes to our guide, Fami. He is only 22 years old, but he impressed us right from the start with his incredible preparation and the passion with which he does his job. He knows the animals, the territory, and the nature of Tanzania perfectly, and throughout the safari he told us so many interesting facts, always managing to find the best spots to observe the animals. But beyond his competence, what we will carry in our hearts is above all the person: Fami was very sweet, kind, helpful, friendly, and always attentive to making us experience every moment to the fullest. In just two days, he managed to make us feel completely at ease and to convey all his love for this wonderful country to us. Tarangire and Ngorongoro gave us images and emotions that will stay with us forever, and we are truly happy to have lived this experience together with Bigen Safari Tour and especially with Fami by our side. Two days that we will never forget. Heartfelt thanks! ❤️🇹🇿 We absolutely recommend Bigen Safari Tour to anyone who wants to experience an authentic, exciting safari organized with great professionalism.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Reading your heartfelt message truly warms our hearts! Experiencing the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater while spotting nearly all of the Big Five is magical, and knowing those moments will stay with you forever means everything to our entire team. Fami will be absolutely thrilled to read your glowing words! Despite his young age, his deep passion, keen eye for wildlife, and genuine kindness are qualities we are immensely proud of, and we are so happy he made your journey feel so personal and special. Having you with us was a complete pleasure, and we would love nothing more than to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Tanzania! 🦁 Kind regards The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

Two day safari with Jimmy in Safari Land of Tanzania
Jimmy,our friendly tour guide, picked us up at our hotel in Arusha. He was very helpful and informative about the culture, the parks, Tanzania’s history, and almost any topics you may have a question in a two day trip. I highly recommend him.
Response from the operator: Dear Ehsan, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that Jimmy made your trip so memorable with his knowledge, helpfulness, and friendly spirit. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed learning not just about the parks, but also about Tanzania’s rich culture and history.

From Arusha : 2-Day Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does From Arusha : 2-Day Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater Safari 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 Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 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 Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater 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 From Arusha : 2-Day Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater Safari 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 Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Arusha : 2-Day Tarangire N.P and Ngorongoro Crater 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.
