Great experience with awesome team
Honestly, the experience was incredible, at every level. The team took us from Kili airport to Arusha, and then to Tarangire-Serengeti-Ngorongoro. To us, 7 days is the ideal length of visit, since you really need to spend time in Serengeti to get the full experience and have the chance to see all the animals. It was not too crowded, with a very quiet atmosphere, which helped a lot to enjoy the trip. I want to thank Franck, our guide, and Lucas, our chief - Franck for all the tips and fun facts, and Lucas for the amazing food. They treated us really well and we had great time with them. 100% recommend, Asante Sana guys !
Response from the operator: Thank you for the 5 stars! We're delighted you had such a wonderful safari experience. Hope to see you again on another adventure!

The best safari of my Life
I am a safari amateur. And this one was definitly the best. Between Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, both our Guide Frank and the Chef Lucas were amazing. Things were easy and smooth, we ate great food, saw all the animals and had a great rest. I can only recommand Suricata for your next trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so happy you enjoyed your safari and we hope to see you again soon.

Outstanding safari
We first heard about Suricata through some friends who had done a safari with them a few years ago, and based on their recommendation, we decided to book our trip with them. We’ve just come back, and it was an amazing experience! We booked a 7 days trip - Adventure Camping Safari. From the very beginning, the Suricata team was professional, helpful, and flexible. While planning the trip, they took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us create an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Communication by email was always quick and easy. Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything was taken care of, and honestly, they exceeded our expectations. But what really made this safari unforgettable was our guide, Anton. Anton is kind, friendly, considerate, and incredibly skilled at spotting and tracking animals. He always did his best to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, often taking less crowded routes and avoiding the same spots so that every day felt different. You can tell he genuinely loves his job, and his enthusiasm makes the whole experience even more special. Thanks to him, we also learned a lot about animal behaviour and the ecosystem. We should also mention that he is an excellent driver. He was always careful and responsible, and we felt safe throughout the entire trip while still managing to get everywhere on time. We spent an incredible week with Anton and are very grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and great sense of humour. He played a huge part in making this trip so memorable. We would also like to thank Jeremiah, our chef. He prepared delicious meals every day and made sure we had a balanced and varied menu throughout the safari. He was a bit shy—like a leopard hiding in the bushes!—but always kind, professional, and ready to help. We really appreciated all his hard work. We would definitely recommend Suricata to our friends and family and would happily travel with them again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your safari and that our team made your journey memorable. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so happy we could be a part of your adventure. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future!

Ask for Max as your tour guide!
Max was the best tour guide we could get! He was patiant with us, answered all our questions, and guided us with stady hands and experience. We saw all the Big Five and so many other animals, because he knew when and where is the best place to be. Thank you for the Suricata Team for organazing out safari vacation, and thank you Max to execute it perfectly. Beautiful accomodation, great chef, breathtaking view, cute animals and friendly hosts.

Amazing Safari with experienced guide
It was a wonderful trip with Max, would absolutely recommend! It was my first safari, and Max was an attentive and very experienced guide. He helped to spot many animals, explained their behavior, answered any random questions about the animals. He organized our days, showed us a great (and not so touristy!) massai village. We managed to see all animals from the Big5, and many more. It was a once in a lifetimes experience, don’t hesitate to book with him!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Private 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1700 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 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 37 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 Private 7-Day Tanzania Camping 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 Private 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 168-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private 7-Day Tanzania Camping Safari?
+
Around 13 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 7-Day Tanzania Camping 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 Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai. 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.
