I came to see animals and they were present in large numbers
Trip of my life. We saw the most beautiful animals and amazing vieuws of nature. The food was good. Our tour guide Ally was a really super good driver. He lurned us the song Jambo Bana. We sang it almost the whole trip.Some bad things are the visit to the Masaivillage were we payed really too much money for entrance and gifts. The hotel Dreams of Zanzibar was amazing with many animation like live music ,dance and sort of karaoke. It was a pitten that this hotel is located at the wrong site of the island . To go to prison island or stone town we need to drive one hour in a taxi=extra payment.Next time I just want to do a safari and skip Zanzibar.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for leaving us a review. While it brings us immense joy to know that your guide Ally created such memorable moments for you and that several parts of your journey were wonderful, we sincerely regret that certain elements did not meet your expectations. Please rest assured that we have taken careful note of your observations and passed them along to the relevant team, as your input is instrumental in helping us continuously refine the quality of services we deliver. We would love the opportunity to host you again on a future journey and provide you with an even more exceptional experience. Warm regards, The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

Tanzania Safari memories
An unforgettable Tanzania safari with Elvs and Beach & Safari Holidays! We just returned from a magical jeep safari in Tanzania, and our guide, Elvs, truly made the trip extraordinary. Booking through Beach & Safari Holidays was seamless, but Elvs was the star of the show. From the moment we met him, his deep knowledge of the local wildlife, expert tracking skills, and genuine passion for nature completely blew us away. Elvs navigated the rough dirt tracks with absolute ease and safety, always positioning our 4x4 jeep perfectly to give us the best possible photo angles of the wildlife. Thanks to his sharp eyes and patient approach, we had several bucket-list moments—including spending an amazing, peaceful hour with a young lioness who genuinely seemed to enjoy our company. Beyond being an amazing tracker, Elvs was incredibly patient, kind, and always happy to answer all of our questions. The jeep was kept clean, comfortable, and well-equipped throughout our long game drives. If you are planning a trip with Beach & Safari Holidays, we wholeheartedly recommend requesting Elvs—he will turn your safari into a trip of a lifetime!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for leaving us such an incredible review! We are overjoyed to hear that your safari was truly magical and that booking through our team was so seamless. Elvs is an absolute star, and we will be sure to pass your special praise along to him directly. Knowing that his deep knowledge, expert tracking, and careful driving gave you such peaceful bucket list moments with the wildlife means the world to us. It is wonderful that you felt so well taken care of in the clean and comfortable 4x4 throughout your game drives. We are deeply grateful for your wholehearted recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another phenomenal trip in the future 🦁 Warm wishes, The Team at Beach & Safari Holidays

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari cost?
+
Prices start at $3,282 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi 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 to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari take?
+
Plan for about 264 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 Moshi is not rushed.
Is From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari?
+
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 to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach safari?
+
Around 14 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 Moshi 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 Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 264-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Arusha to Zanzibar : 11 days From Bush to Beach 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 Moshi 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 Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). 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 Moshi?
+
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 Moshi?
+
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.
