Amazing Safari experience!
Recently, our family had an incredible journey in Tanzania! Yes, we went on a safari and the LEM Carnivores team was amazing - organizing everything and making sure we felt safe and comfortable during the whole journey. We saw hippos, elephants, lions, giraffes and other wild animals in their natural environment and our guides Stan and Manu were amazing :) Thanks to them, we not only saw wild animals in their natural habitat, but we also had some interesting conversations about the local reality :) This was an amazing trip! and sharing this experience as a family made this journey even more meaningful for us. It’s a memory we will cherish forever. Assante to the LEM team and Pole Pole ;)

The trip of my life
Went on a 5-day safari with my family and friends. The safari was organized by Lem Carnivores Tours, we went to Tarangire, the Serengeti and went down the Ngongoro crater. It was a simply fantastic experience. The organization was exemplary. Everything went flawlessly. The places where we slept were very good and so was the food. We had hi-fi on all the accomodations. Tarangire was a pleasant surprise, a fantastic place to observe herds of elephants. Ngongoro crater looks like the garden of Eden. Is the largest and most intact volcanic caldera in the world housing a rich variety of wildlife including the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo).We saw 4, only missed the leopard. Serengeti was my favorite. Serengeti comes from the Maasai language and means “endless land”. Traveling through the park is a unique experience as it is an authentic haven of wildlife. We saw lots of animals: elephants, zebras, gnus, lions, hyenas, jackals, a cheetah, impalas, gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, hippos, a rhino, eagles, a falcon, giraffes, crocodiles, a serval, baboons. We saw migrating gnus and zebras and even a crossing of the Mara River. This experience would not have been possible without our guides. Good drivers, they made us feel safe at all times, but above all good companions, always in a good mood. Thank you very much to Stanley for teaching Swahili to our youngs. Thank you very much to Emanuel for never giving up looking for the animals we wanted to see. Without his lynx eyes we would not have seen the most spectacular scenes of our trip. And finally, thank you very much to Vincent for organizing this trip. Over the course of six months, he patiently put up with me and answered all my questions. Thank you very much to all 3 of you for accompanying us on this trip. Assante

Great experience
Vincent from LEM Carnivorous Tours was super helpful, responded quickly and took care of problems directly. The safari was also an unforgettable experience! The tents were set up and dismantled for one. There was a thicker mat, blanket and pillow. I would recommend another cabin sleeping bag, I had one with me and was quite happy about it. At night it can get very cold (about 5 °C), so bring warm clothes. I would have liked the guide to give more info, but after this was criticized he did it too. Overall, I had a great trip and can recommend it.

The most beautiful experience
The most beautiful experience of our lives. We did the safari as a couple, everything went perfectly. We had a great guide James who allowed us to see the big fives. We were very lucky to see the leopard and the rhino on the last day. Chef Ibrahim was lovely and made delicious meals for us throughout the trip. The quality to price ratio is excellent. I highly recommend this agency which will give you an unforgettable experience. Our souvenir photos are incredible. THANKS !!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tanzania Wildlife Safari Budget Camping: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Tanzania Wildlife Safari Budget Camping cost?
+
Prices start at $775 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 Wildlife Safari Budget Camping take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Wildlife Safari Budget Camping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Tanzania Wildlife Safari Budget Camping?
+
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 Wildlife Safari Budget Camping suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tanzania Wildlife Safari Budget Camping?
+
Around 3 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tanzania Wildlife Safari Budget Camping 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.
