The Most Beautiful Journey Our Family Has Ever Taken
Everything was incredibly well organized, communication, logistics, timing, accommodations, and the overall experience. We never felt rushed, unsafe, or lost. Instead, we felt guided by people who truly understand hospitality and what travelers need, especially families traveling with children. Our guide and driver, Alfred , made this trip extraordinary. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly attentive to our daughters. He understood when to stop, where to look, how to make the experience magical, and somehow always seemed to know what would make the day even more special. He became much more than a guide during this trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable experience with us. Alfred will be very happy to know how much you appreciated his kindness, patience, and dedication. It was a pleasure being part of your family’s adventure in Tanzania, and we hope to welcome you back again!

Perfect safari
After three safaris, I can honestly say that our experience with Luxus in Africa was the best one we’ve had. Obby took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from the trip and built the itinerary around our expectations. We chose a private safari, and I had a very specific idea of the kind of experience I was looking for. Everything was adapted to that, which made a huge difference. Our guide, Alfred, was excellent. He knew the environment extremely well, but also understood animal behavior, which allowed us to observe wildlife in the best possible conditions while always respecting the animals and their space. I really appreciated his approach: patient, ethical, respectful of nature, and never focused on disturbing an animal just to get closer. As photography was an important part of the trip for me, Alfred also paid attention to positioning the vehicle as well as possible whenever he could, taking the light, the angle and the animals’ movements into account so I could get better photographs. That was something I really valued. We also travelled with Soka, and we had such a good time with him. We laughed a lot throughout the trip, and the whole team made the experience feel both professional and genuinely enjoyable. We came back extremely happy with everything we experienced. If I ever return for another safari, I would absolutely travel with Luxus in Africa again.
Response from the operator: We’re truly happy that you had such a memorable experience with Obby, Alfred, Soka and the whole team. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’d be delighted to welcome you again for another safari!

Unforgettable safari!!!
With this agency, we booked a 5-day safari followed by several days in Zanzibar, including domestic flights and transfers. It's a local agency, and I highly recommend it. We explored several options and chose this agency because we wanted our trip to be 100% customized in terms of the number of days, national parks, and hotels we wanted to stay in (we were traveling with two teenagers). It was also important to us that it be a local, medium-sized agency, and this one met all our expectations. From the very beginning, communication with Ibrahim was fantastic; he promptly answered all our questions and adapted to our needs. Our guide, Fredy, was fantastic, both personally and professionally. He adapted to our requests and also gave us recommendations to ensure we had a dream safari. As a guide, he gets a 10 out of 10!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🙏 We’re delighted you enjoyed your customized safari and Zanzibar experience. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!

Best of the bes
Our five-day Tanzania safari was an unforgettable experience. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw amazing wildlife and beautiful landscapes. Our guide was professional and friendly, and everything was well organized. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic African safari experience. 5/5!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your safari with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation! 🙏🏿🌍

Incredible honeymoon!!
We had the most incredible honeymoon with Luxus In Africa. The safari was absolutely magical and we visited Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Each place was breathtaking in its own way. Our guide, Emanuel Mbise, was truly fantastic. His knowledge, professionalism and kindness made the experience unforgettable, and we are so grateful to him for making our trip so special. The only small downside was that our program included three different visits with the Maasai, which felt a little repetitive. Apart from that, everything was perfect and we would highly recommend Luxus to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Luxus In Africa for your honeymoon! ❤️ We're delighted to hear you had an unforgettable safari and that Emanuel made your journey so special. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the Maasai visits and will take it into consideration for future itineraries. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania again someday! 🦁🌍✨

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Day Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 5 Day Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro cost?
+
Prices start at $1,220 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 Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Day Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5 Day Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5 Day Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro?
+
Around 6 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Day Group Camping Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro 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.
