Wildlife, Wilderness and Wonderful Memories
This 4-day camping safari at Rehoboth Safaris has been better than we expected. The first day in Tarangire, the elephant and the baobab, then the great plains of Serengeti and the amazing views of the Ngorongoro Crater - each park is unique. The guide explained the behavior of the animals and the peculiarities of the park well, and always took them to the right place at the right time. Camping equipment was good, food and water were adequate, and the entire trip was very safe and organized.... There was no rush for a private visit. This is a great choice for those who want to see the Northern Circuit of Tanzania. It's highly recommended!

Amazing 4-Day Safari Experience with Rehoboth Safaris
I did a 4-day camping private safari with Rehoboth Safaris, and the whole experience was amazing. On the first day after entering the Tarangire National Park, I saw many elephants and giraffes. The guide explained everything very well. On the way to Serengeti National Park, one after another beautiful scenes - wide plains, acacia trees and the wildlife moving in front - everything was like a picture. In Serengeti, we saw Lion Pride, Leopard and many Buffaloes. The highlight of the tour was the Ngorongoro Crater on the last day. The landscape and wildlife inside the crater is magical. In the afternoon we could see up to the Rhino, which was really memorable.

Big Five Safari – An experience of a lifetime
This 4 day safari was much better than we expected. Serengeti National Park is as famous as it is marvellous - the infinite grasslands, acacia trees and the movement of animals around have filled the heart. We were lucky to see the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant! The elephant herd of Tarangire, the lions of Serengeti and the panoramic view of Ngorongoro Crater - each place was a different experience. The camps were clean, the food was great, and the whole team was very caring.

Amazing 4 Days in the Wild with Rehoboth Safaris
I went on a safari in Tanzania with two friends, and our guide was Godfrey. From the beginning, he welcomed us with a smile. His driving skills, his ability to spot animals, and his understanding of behavior - he is unique in every way. Once he pointed to a tree in the distance and said, "There is a cheetah there," we thought it was impossible, but it really was! The experience was incredible. Godfrey is not just a guide, he is a man who loves his work. Every day he was trying to make us learn something new, laugh, and enjoy. For us, it was a very personal, comfortable and educational safari experience.

One of the best experiences of my life in Serengeti ♥️
Our experience in Serengeti National Park with our guide Godfrey (Marifa) was truly unforgettable. He has very deep knowledge, passion, and respect for the wildlife and landscape. Godfrey had an incredible eye for spotting animals — from big cats lounging in the shade to hidden birds in the treetops. He not only ensured we saw the “Big Five,” but also took the time to explain animal behavior, ecosystems, and conservation efforts in ways that were both fascinating and easy to understand. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re planning a trip to Serengeti National Park, we wholeheartedly recommend Godfrey. His expertise and warmth will turn a great safari into the adventure of a lifetime.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1,436 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 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari?
+
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 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari?
+
Around 5 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Camping on the Big Five Private Safari 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.
