Amazing Safari with our guide Aron
We had ana amazing safari together with our guide Aron. With kindness, a lot of knowledge and an amazing sense of humour, Aron made our safari days to the best we could have had. Also, we got the opportunity to get incredibly good help from the office, and we felt very comfortable during our entire stay! We are so thankful to be a part Zanzi family!
Response from the operator: Dear Valter, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are happy to hear that you had an amazing safari with Aron and that his knowledge, kindness, and sense of humour made your experience so special. We are also happy to know that our office team provided you with great support throughout your stay. It was a pleasure having you as part of the Zanzi family, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Best regards Zanzi trekking and safaris

Ideal safari with awesome sittings of the Big 5 and more.
The overall experience was 4.5. Two different guides with outstanding knowledge resulted in a viewing of the Big 5 and all other animals that one would want to see on a safari. Combined, they delivered the results that were desired and made the price of the safari acceptable. From a lodging perspective, two out of three stays were outstanding. The exception was last minute/ day of change from a potential glamping experience to the Serengti Wildlife Lodge. Staying in a 70’s built hotel and labelled as an upgrade was a downer. Even worse was the reason for the change, sold out status, when the entire safari was paid for in advance but the reservation was sought at the last minute. Annual Mitigation - this was not my goal and we did not observe it. If this is one’s goal during the peak season, be very specific with your request/requirement when obtaining a quote. Per the guides, you will need to spend 3-4 days in the river area the 1-2 days in the central area then 1 day in The Crater. The Crater is beautiful. Overall, I am comfortable with recommending this company. When obtaining a quote for a solo or small group safari, clarification should be received on the details for a shared tour. Bundling a luxury tour package with participants on a budget tour package can impact travel logistics.
Response from the operator: Dear Cheryl, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for giving us an overall rating of 4.5 stars. We are especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the wildlife experience and that our guides made a positive impression. Their knowledge and dedication are a very important part of what we aim to provide. Regarding the accommodation, we are really sorry for your disappointment with the change, especially as it happened close to your stay. Indeed, the original lodge was fully booked for the period we wanted to book, so we had to arrange an alternative. This is quite common in tourism and is clearly mentioned in our quotes, terms and conditions. We also believed that we had communicated the change during the briefing meeting, but it may be our fault that the information was not clear enough to you. We will work on improving this. The alternative, Serengeti Wildlife Lodge, was also a luxury property and was selected based on the best options available at the time. Nevertheless, we are genuinely sorry that it did not meet your expectations. We will take this feedback seriously when selecting this accommodation or any other alternatives in the future. Regarding shared safaris, their main purpose is as you might know to reduce costs compared with more expensive private safaris, while also giving guests the opportunity to share the experience with other travellers rather than travelling alone. Guests sharing a vehicle can therefore have different packages, accommodation categories and budgets. We always try to combine guests with similar budget and accommodation levels. When this is not possible, we make every effort to select lodges as close to each other as possible, avoiding unnecessary driving and loss of time. We also provide all our clients with an information document explaining the main aspects of shared safaris before their trip (together with every quote we send). We agree that clear communication is essential, and we will continue improving this to ensure guests have the right expectations. Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback, and especially when for recognizing the efforts of our guides. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Tanzania in the future. Much love, Your Zanzi family

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire cost?
+
Prices start at $1,641 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 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 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 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire?
+
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 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire?
+
Around 7 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Camp Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire 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.
