Arusha Safari Day Tours - Ngorongoro Crater safari vehicle with travelers

Our Story

Founded in 2012, Arusha Safari Day Tours was born from a simple idea: not every traveler has a week for a full safari, but everyone deserves to experience Tanzania's breathtaking wildlife and landscapes.

What started as a small operation with one vehicle and a passion for sharing Tanzania's beauty has grown into Arusha's #1 rated day tour operator. We've served over 1,500 travelers from 40+ countries, earning consistent 5-star reviews for our private guided day trips to Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Kilimanjaro, and beyond.

Today, we remain a locally owned and operated Tanzanian company — committed to sustainable tourism, supporting local communities, and delivering the best day safari experiences in northern Tanzania.

What Our Travelers Say

Real reviews from adventurers who experienced our Tanzania day trips

★★★★★
"The Ngorongoro day trip was the highlight of our entire Africa trip! Michael was an incredible guide — knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly where to find the rhinos. We saw 4 of the Big Five in one day!"
Sarah & James Mitchell🇬🇧 London, United Kingdom
★★★★★
"Emmanuel made our Kilimanjaro day hike unforgettable. The forest was magical, we saw colobus monkeys, and the lunch at Mandara Hut was perfect. A must-do for anyone wanting a taste of Kili without the full climb."
