    Excellent Tanzania Safari Experience

    After climbing Kilimanjaro we did a wonderful safari tour visiting Lake Manyara, Ngoro Ngoro crater and Tarangire NP. Mohamedi picked us up in Arusha and took care of us the whole week. Driving in Tanzania can be challenging with bad roads and vehicles constantly overtaking eachother. Mohamedi is a very alert and safe driver. We appreciated that a lot. He also is an excellent and super experienced guide. He took us on several game drives. I don’t know his magic but he always found us special places where we could observe animals from a very close distance. I think he knows al the parks by heart. We saw elephants bathing and playing in the water, rhino’s directly in front of our car, hippo’s, herds of zebra’s & wildebeests. And even 4 lions sleeping in a tree. He learned us a lot about the animals, nature but also Tanzanian culture and makes great company. If you want to visit Tanzania book this tour and ask for Mohamedi. You will not regret it.

    Fantastic safari with easy travel in Tanzania

    We had a fatantistic Safari in Tanzania. People are here so friendly and hospitable. Thanks to our fantastic driver and guide Simon from easy travel. Simon has 15 years experience as a driver and guide. He made our vacation complete. We learned a lot from Simon. He explained the behaviour of the animals, very interesting. In addition it is amazing that he knows the way in the serengeti without a gps.

    Response from the operator: That's great, we value our driver-guides, they are the key to having a truly first-class safari! Thank you so much! Kind regards Musaddiq Gulamhussein Director Sales and Operations

    Beyond expectations: An unforgettable safari with Rashidi and Easy Travel

    Every aspect of our experience with Easy Travel was beyond expectations. From the very beginning, the responsiveness, communication and attention to detail by Happiness in planning our trip was phenomenal. Once we arrived in Tanzania, our safari days in Tanangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro were expertly arranged. But our experience was truly elevated by our exceptional guide, Rashidi. If I could give Rashidi 1000 stars, I would. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife is extraodorinary. He seemed to know the animals as if they were family. He understood their behavior and continually watched for behavioral cues that might position us for remarkable encounters. Thanks to Rashidi, we experienced moments with wildlife that were often private, particularly our encounters with the big cats. Rashidi gave us the time and perspective to appreciate what we seeing and also to try to capture beautiful photos. He worked incredibly hard every day, always with enthusiasm and genuine excitement about sharing Tanzania's wildlife and history with us. I cannot say enough about the care and attention to detail we received from Easy Travel, Happiness and Rashidi, They didn't just provide us with a safari - they made us feel as though we had Tanzanian friends looking after us.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, please know that we are your Tanzanian friends - we just want to look after you from the first enquiry until the moment of your departure. We are just delighted that the whole experience was a good one, we hope we will see you back here again! Kind regards Musaddiq Gulamhussein Director Sales and Operations

    We loved our safari! An incredible adventure

    My husband and I absolutely loved our safari for our honeymoon! Our tour guide, Musa, was so knowledgeable and took us on fantastic game drives in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. We saw so many animals in all 3 parks and are so thankful we booked with Easy travel! The travel expert, Aneth, from Easy Travel made the whole process so seamless. We loved the entire experience, from the drives to the lodges. We highly recommend booking with Easy Travel, you will not regret it!

    Response from the operator: A honeymoon safari is a very special occasion, we really appreciate your nice review! We wish you all the very best for a happy, happy marriage. We'll see you on your 10th anniverary! Kind regards Musaddiq Gulamhussein Director Sales and Operations

    You have to do this!

    We just finished a private safari arranged by Easy Travel, and it was everything we hoped for. Happiness planned the trip from start to finish and made the logistics feel effortless without having to worry about the details. What made the trip truly special was our guide, Rashidi. His knowledge of the animals was remarkable. He didn’t just spot wildlife; he explained behavior and the reasons an animal was where it was, in a way that made every sighting more interesting. Even better was his experience in getting us away from the busiest parts of the parks. While other vehicles clustered on the main circuits, Rashidi consistently found quieter tracks and more secluded spots. The difference was obvious. We had long, unhurried views of wildlife without a ring of Land Cruisers around us, and it felt like a much more personal safari than the ones we watched following the crowds. If we ever make it back to Tanzania, we would demand Rashidi again. Highly recommend Easy Travel, and especially Happiness for the planning and Rashidi in the field.

    Response from the operator: Lovely, we thank you very much! Glad we would see you again, if you make it back to Tanzania! Kind regards Musaddiq Gulamhussein Director Sales and Operations

    Tanzania Classic - 7 Days: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does Tanzania Classic - 7 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3,012 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 Tanzania Classic - 7 Days 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 Tanzania Classic - 7 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,722 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tanzania Classic - 7 Days?

    +

    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 Tanzania Classic - 7 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tanzania Classic - 7 Days?

    +

    Around 603 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 Tanzania Classic - 7 Days 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.
