Reviews for Arusha Tours

L
7-Day Tanzania Safari Experience Tour from Arusha: Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara | Max 6 Pax & 4x4 Safari Vehicle

Absolutely loved this trip! The itinerary was well‑paced — enough time in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara to enjoy the animals without rushing. One of the best parts was the community visit in Mto wa Mbu and learning about local projects — it made the whole trip feel more meaningful. Accommodation varied but was clean and comfortable, and the team took care of all the little details so we could just enjoy the safari. Truly one of my best travel experiences!

11-Day East Africa Safari Tour from Nairobi to Arusha: Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara

East Africa Safari: Two Countries, One Epic Trip!

Crossed Kenya and Tanzania off my bucket list in 11 days—unreal! Maasai Mara’s wildebeest migration was mind-blowing, and Serengeti sunsets over the plains? Chef’s kiss. Loved the mix of luxury lodges and tented camps—woke up to giraffes outside my tent! Guides knew all the best wildlife spots. 10/10!

Tanzania Safari: Beyond Amazing!

This tour was everything I hoped for! Open-top jeeps let us get up close with lions and giraffes in Serengeti, and Ngorongoro’s crater floor felt like a wildlife paradise. Loved the mix of hotels and camping—cooking by the fire under the stars was unforgettable. Guides were friendly and full of stories. Book it now!

FAQs about Arusha Tours

How do I get from Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) to Arusha City?

From Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), take a pre-arranged shuttle or private transfer to Arusha City – the 45–60 km journey takes 45–90 minutes. Taxis are available but agree on fares beforehand. Many tour operators offer airport pickup. Avoid unlicensed drivers. Road conditions vary, so opt for 4x4 vehicles in rainy seasons (March–May).

Is Arusha a safe base for starting a safari in Tanzania?

Yes, Arusha is a safe and common starting point for Tanzanian safaris. Stick to reputable lodges and avoid walking alone at night. Keep valuables secure. Petty theft can occur in crowded areas. Use registered tour operators. The city is well-patrolled, and most travelers report smooth, incident-free stays when using trusted services.

What local pass or permit do I need for hiking Mount Meru near Arusha?

No separate pass is needed beyond park fees managed by Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA). A valid visa for Tanzania is required. All Mount Meru treks must be booked through licensed operators, who handle Arusha National Park entry fees, ranger charges, and camping permits. Costs are typically bundled into guided tour packages.

When is the rainy season in Arusha, and how does it affect travel plans?

Arusha has two rainy seasons: long rains from March to May and short rains in November. March–May sees heavy downpours that may disrupt road travel and hiking on Mount Meru. Safaris still operate but with possible delays. June–February offers dry, favorable conditions. Travelers should pack rain gear if visiting during shoulder months (November, March).
