AN EXCELLENT CHOICE WITH MUSSA (ROAMSERENGETISAFARIS)
in 2019 with my partner we did 1 week of safaris (2 days tarangire + 4 days serengeti + 1 day ngorongoro) as well as 1 visit to the tribes near Lake Eyasi. Mussa, manager of Roamserengetisafaris was our driver and guide. This experience was so fantastic in comparison to the safaris done in many other African countries that I decided to return with my 2 boys (adults) I contacted Mussa again and we planned 9 days of safari in Sept-Oct 2023: 3 days in Tarangire, 2 days in the northern Serengeti entering through Klein's gate after visiting Lake Natron, 3 days in the center of the Serengeti and 1 day in the Ngorongoro crater. we decided, like 4 years ago, to sleep in tents on a public campsite except for 1 night in a lodge near the Mara river. 1 excellent cook accompanied Mussa, he set up the tents and prepared 1 great breakfast taken very early in the morning and the evening meal as well as 1 picnic for lunch. The tents were large and the mattresses thick. From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. we saw a lot of animals, especially felines. Mussa, very experienced, always positioned himself ideally for photos and always made the best decisions. I highly recommend him, he drives very well and adapts to your wishes. our conversations were in English

Wonderful and highly recommended!
Wonderful! My husband and I travelled through Tanzania for 10 days with Africa Joy Tours as part of an individual safari accompanied by a driver. An unforgettable experience! We have experienced the incredible wildlife and beautiful nature and met many friendly people. The choice of accommodation was great, and everything was organized in an exemplary way. Our individual wishes were taken into account at all times. Our driver was great - very prudent, always friendly, competent and knowledgeable. This is our second time in Tanzania with Africa Joy Tours and we can highly recommend this competent and reliable local tour operator.
Response from the operator: Liebe Marion, wir freuen uns sehr über die tolle Empfehlung unseres Unternehmens während der Reise, die Sie mit uns gemacht haben. Es war uns eine große Freude, Sie während Ihrer Reise zu bewirten und wir freuen uns, dass Sie eine tolle Erfahrung gemacht haben. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für uns entschieden haben und willkommen zurück!...

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania cost?
+
Prices start at $3,900 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 Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania take?
+
Plan for about 240 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 Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania?
+
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 Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania?
+
Around 4 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 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Unforgettable 10-Day Family Safari in Tanzania 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.
