Dream safari with our family
An absolutely incredible trip from start to finish! We have been planning a safari for a long timez so getting it right was so incredibly important to us. Lion king were exceptional from start to finish! From my initial enquiry to Florida in the office who answered all of my many questions. The quality of the lodges was exceptional as was the food. They provided beautiful, fresh hampers for each of our lunches,and eating them on the serengeti was something we will never forget!! The animals were incredible, I can't believe how many we saw, so close up! Our biggest thanks however goes to our guide Enok Hubert! He was so so incredible. Nothing was too much trouble and he worked tirelessly every day to make sure our safari was beyond our wildest dreams. He was so good with our boys aged 11 and 15. Our 11 year old was in tears saying goodbye, they had built such a lovely bond. If a good guide makes your safari ,then we really lucked out with the best of the best. If you are considering a once in a lifetime safari, Tanzania is definitely the place. The people are so warm and genuine!! We will definitely be back and would ONLY use lion king. I would highly recommend you book through them and pray that Enok is your guide. Asante Sana Enok, we will miss you!!!!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Exceptional Local Team
Lion King Adventures was the perfect choice for our safari experience! We loved supporting a local Tanzanian company and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Robert. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife, local culture, the Maasai people, and Tanzania as a whole. The Nyota Lodges provided beautiful accommodations that made our experience even more special. This was truly a trip of a lifetime, and we’ve made memories that will last forever. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone planning a Tanzanian safari!

Perfect safari
Can’t say enough good things about our guide, Robert: Organized, knowledgeable and personable. The Nyota camps (Serengeti and Rift Valley) have great accommodations, great staff and good food. We’re looking forward to our next safari.

Everything we hoped for and more
Our safari was a trip of a lifetime. We saw every animal we hoped to. Our guide Joseph was the best. He was so chill and knowledgeable about the animals and the safari experience. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, thank you Joseph. The 6 day option was great because the first day of the safari is just getting situated in Arusha so there was no concern about missing the start or being late. The accommodations were 10/10 with animals in our backyard it was so cool.

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Experience – Highly Recommend Exaud!
Our safari experience in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We visited the breathtaking Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park, and every destination was absolutely incredible. We were even lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, which made the trip that much more special! What truly made this experience unforgettable, however, was our amazing tour guide, Exaud. From beginning to end, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He was always punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, considerate, and accommodating to every single one of our requests. No matter what we needed, he made sure we were comfortable, happy, and taken care of. Beyond being an exceptional guide, Exaud was genuinely such a wonderful person to spend time with. The laughs, conversations, and special moments we shared throughout the trip made it feel like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a tour guide. His positive attitude, sense of humor, and passion for what he does made every day exciting and memorable. The wildlife sightings and beautiful landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, but it’s the people and experiences that truly make a trip special, and Exaud made ours something we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend this safari company enough, and if you have the opportunity to request Exaud as your guide, DO IT! He truly made all the difference, and we couldn’t imagine having experienced Tanzania with anyone else. Thank you, Exaud, for the incredible memories, endless laughs, and unforgettable adventure. We hope to return someday, and when we do, we will absolutely be requesting you again! 10/10 experience!

Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges cost?
+
Prices start at $2,685 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 Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 393 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 Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges?
+
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 Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges?
+
Around 138 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 6-Day Tarangire Manyara Crater and Serengeti with Mid-Range Lodges 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 Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. 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.

+
Included: Professional guide; Bottled water; National Park fees; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Gratuities; and Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
