Amazing Safari experience
Had an incredible experience in Tanzania, totally above my expectations. I am thankful for Neema Thomas from the Shemeji agency for organizing it all. During our trip, we visited Tarangire (1 day), Serengeti (2 days) and Ngorogoro caldera (last day). We were able to see cheetahs, lions, elephants, giraffes and thousands of zebras and wildebeests. The entire Safari trip couldn’t be possible if it were not for our guide, driver and friend, Hamis Barie. He was helpful and knowledgeable the whole trip. If you are considering going to a Safari trip in Tanzania, ask for a great guide and driver, as this will make the experience better. Hamis is the best!
Response from the operator: Dear João, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so pleased to hear that your experience in Tanzania exceeded your expectations. It’s great to know Neema made the planning seamless and that Hamis delivered such a memorable safari from the incredible wildlife sightings to his knowledge and support throughout your journey. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to both of them. Your recommendation means a lot, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Best regards, The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

Amazing safari adventure thanks to Paradise & Wilderness team
Our driver guide Richard took us on an amazing trip from Arusha to Serengeti. We spotted all of the animals that we were excited to see, we had detailed information about the region, animals and the tribes. He was really kind and took care of us all 3 days of our trip. Also from our accommodation in Serengeti Ikoma we were able to spot zebras, giraffes and buffalos. We highly recommend this tour and our guide. Since it was May, there were not many people doing the safari so I personally recommend to come during this period to have an exclusive experience that doesn’t feel like a tourist activity at all. All the staff were also really kind and friendly, all our expectations were met at the end of our trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Bihter, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We are delighted to hear that Richard made your safari truly memorable with his knowledge, kindness, and care throughout your journey. It’s fantastic that you had such incredible wildlife sightings and could even enjoy them right from the accommodation! May is indeed a magical time to visit, and we are so glad you were able to enjoy the peaceful, exclusive feel of the Serengeti during that season. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable adventure. Best regards, The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

From Arusha: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does From Arusha: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire cost?
+
Prices start at $672 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: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire take?
+
Plan for about 72 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: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Arusha: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is From Arusha: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Arusha: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire?
+
Around 4 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Arusha: 3-Day Big Cats Safari Serengeti, Tarangire 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.
