Amazing Tarangire trip was like the Lion King in real life!
Moshi Tours & Transfer took such good care of me during my time in Tanzania. I did 2 trips with them, Tarangire was amazing. My guide Timothy went above and beyond so I could see as many animals as possible. I saw elephants, lions, giraffes ostriches, warthogs it was like the Lion King came to life. Lunch was delicious. The experience was amazing, Nick was great at organising and Timothy my guide was exceptional. I will only book with these guys when I'm next in Tanzania.

A Fantastic Day Out
Nick and Nick made sure that my day out was a special occasion. They met me the night before at my hotel for an in depth briefing(over a beer of course) on what to wear and what to expect. The day itself was even better than expected. The highlight being watching a pair of mating lions!! Lots of elephants, zebras and giraffes. Not forgetting the prey animals, wildebeests, gazelle etc. I would highly recommend this Tour with Nick. Asante Sana.

Great experience and very reliable!
We booked a 1 day safari in Tarangire the day before. Nik came to visit us that evening to explain the details in person. We were picked up from our accommodation in Moshi the next morning for a great safari, and our guide even raced through the park to get us a rare leopard sighting! We saw lions, leopard, cheetahs, zebra, giraffes, elephants, ostriches, antelopes, gazelle, water buks, dikdiks and many types of bird. The lunch was tasty and the guide was great at pointing out animals and sights. Would definitely recommend these guys!

Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $350 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 Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park?
+
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 Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park?
+
Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park 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.
What is included in Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Lunch; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Personal items; and Gratuities / "tip" for driver/guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 23 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Full Day Private Safari - Tarangire National Park offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
