    Magnificent 5 days safari

    We would like to say a huge thank you to Romain from Lion King Adventures for organizing this magnificent 5-day safari, and to Amani, our wonderful guide, for making this experience so special. Thanks to Amani, we discovered the incredible parks of Tanzania and were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals throughout these five days. His knowledge, kindness and passion made the safari even more enjoyable. We absolutely loved our safari and will keep unforgettable memories from this incredible experience. 🐘🦁🦒 We highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone looking to experience an unforgettable safari in Tanzania!

    A well organized and executed Safari

    We had an incredible experience with Lion King Adventures. Our safari was exceptionally well organized from beginning to end. The communication was clear, the itinerary was well constructed, and the logistics ran smoothly. A Safari Game Drive is made by the capabilities of your guide. And our guide, Gilbert, exceeded our expectations. Experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He understood the behaviors of the animals and had a strong network of guides supporting him around the parks for additional support. Add to that knowledge of the landscape, flora, and local culture. He had all the traits needed to provide a lifetime safari experience. The accommodations selected by Lion King Adventures were also excellent and added significantly to the trip. We enjoyed the variety between properties, and the service and hospitality throughout Tanzania were outstanding. Overall, Lion King Adventures delivered the kind of safari we had hoped for: adventurous, comfortable, well planned, and memorable. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

    Great safari with an even better guide.

    Gilbert was amazing- very knowledgeable on all things wildlife, we had so much fun with him. He was so kind, and was excited about the wildlife we saw. He helped us navigate a difficult medical situation with care and grace. He’s the best! We saw all of the big 5 and many many others. Truck was comfortable and well stocked with refreshments.

    Must do

    Gilbert was the most amazing guide and was very knowledgeable. He knew all the spots and set expectations for what we could expect along the way. The safari jeep was super nice too. Loved the accommodations and the pool. Would recommend to a friend.

    5-Day Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does 5-Day Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,327 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 Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire 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 Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 512 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, 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 Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire 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 Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, Tarangire?

    +

    Around 179 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 Highlights mid-Range Crater, Serengeti, 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.
