Once in a Lifetime Honeymoon
Wow… Where to even begin….! We had the trip of our lives. Koen planned an incredible Safari & Zanzibar trip for our Honeymoon. Every accommodation that we stayed at was fantastic - from lodges, tented lodges to our luxury hotel in Zanzibar. We could not fault any of them. The safari itself was truly unbelievable. We were lucky enough to see an abundance of animals including the big 5 - special thanks to our tour guides Adili & Ali who were both so knowledgable and passionate about the welfare of the animals. I have already recommended The Wanderer to many of our friends and family as after seeing our trip they are all now desperate to go! Thank you so much for making our Honeymoon incredibly special.

Once in a life time
I first found company completely through Instagram, and to be honest, at the beginning I had some concerns about whether the company was genuine and reliable. After checking their reviews and photos on TripAdvisor and Instagram, I decided to go ahead with them and I’m so glad we did. We travelled as two families, eight people in total: four adults and four children aged 10, 12, 15 and 17. From beginning to end, we had an unforgettable experience. One of the biggest highlights was our guides, They really showed us what a difference an experienced and knowledgeable guide can make to a safari. Travelling with four children of different ages could easily have been challenging, but they made the whole experience enjoyable, interesting and comfortable for everyone. Their experience and knowledge added so much to our trip, and we felt we were in very good hands throughout. We also had an issue with one of our hotels before the trip. The Wanderer Tanzania handled it extremely professionally and upgraded our accommodation at their own expense. The replacement hotel was absolutely beautiful, and we really appreciated the way they took responsibility and resolved the problem without making it stressful for us. Overall, we were extremely happy with all the hotels arranged for us, the organisation of the tour, pick-ups and drop-offs, communication and the service we received throughout. It was a truly memorable experience for both families, and I would happily recommend them to anyone planning a safari. We would definitely choose them again.

Exceptional Trip!
Wow!! What an incredible experience it was travelling around the beautiful country of Tanzania with the exceptional The Wanderer. We could not have been more grateful to Koen for organising us such a perfect trip that will stay in our hearts forever. Koen listened to all our requests and shaped the trip perfectly for us, choosing accommodations that suited us best and gave us the best experience possible. Of course seeing all the incredible wildlife & beauty of Tanzania was a highlight but the person that made our trip was our guide and now friend, Abdul! Abdul was truly exceptional and ensured we had the best experience possible and just became a true friend to us. If you are thinking of booking with The Wanderer you must request Abdul, he smiled more than any other Guide and clearly loves his job. Having a guide that brings a smile to your face every day makes the trip even more special. We are very grateful to you Abdul and thank you for showing us your amazing culture and for singing Whitney Houston over the Serengeti with us haha! Thank you, The Wanderers, for making our honeymoon a trip of a lifetime. We saw lions, leopards, cheetah, elephants, zebra, giraffe, hippos, Rhinos, Pumba & Timone and soo much more! Abdul listened to what we had an interest in and how we wanted to just go for it and explore as much as possible and he ensured we got the most out of the trip as we could! Thank you Abdul, you are one in a million (even though you are a Chelsea fan), Best wishes, Meg & Alex

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How does 5-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania compare to similar tours in Arusha?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 81. Best for couples and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is 5-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania best for?
+
It suits couples and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 120-hour length, minimum age of 5 and non-refundable terms.
How much does 5-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania cost?
+
Prices start at €1,283 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 Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania 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 Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 108 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania?
+
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 Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania?
+
Around 38 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 Mid-Range Safari in Tanzania 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.

+
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.
