Incredible five-day safari!
We had an incredible five-day safari with Gosheni Safaris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guides Daniel and Julius were fantastic and put so much effort into making our trip as special as possible. They were both extremely attentive, knowledgeable and always went the extra mile to give us the best possible safari experience. Julius’ German skills were also very good and extremely helpful throughout the trip. We saw the big Five and so many other amazing animals and had countless unforgettable moments. The accommodations were all excellent and the food was very good as well. Lake Manyara was, in our opinion, the least spectacular part of the safari compared to the incredible experiences we had on the other days. A huge thank you to Julius, Daniel and the entire Gosheni Safaris team for an incredible adventure – we would highly recommend them!
Response from the operator: Big Five in five days, that's a great result! We're so glad Daniel and Julius made it special for you, and Julius will be happy to hear his German came in handy. Thank you for the honest note on Lake Manyara too. It's a quieter park than the Serengeti or the crater, and that's fair feedback. It helps us guide future guests on how to plan their days. We'll pass your kind words on to both guides. Thank you for travelling with us!

Friendly, organised and knowledgeable safari company!
We had an unforgettable experience on our safari and couldn’t recommend Gosheni enough. The booking process and communications were so easy and they were more than happy to answer all of our questions throughout the organisation of our tour. We had the safari with our tour guide Laban and we were especially impressed with the amount of knowledge he had, there wasn’t a single question we had that he couldn’t answer and we learned a lot from him. The tour itself was amazing, Laban knew all of the best spots and we got to see everything we wanted to see and more. There wasn’t never any stress or rush and we could easily enjoy the whole process which was planned perfectly for us. Asante Sana Gosheni!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $3,160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi 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 Spirit of Tanzania Safari 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 Moshi is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 142 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania 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 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari 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 Spirit of Tanzania Safari?
+
Around 50 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 Moshi 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 Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania 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 Moshi 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 Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). 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 Moshi?
+
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 Moshi?
+
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.
What is included in 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari?
+
Included: Airport transfers in Arusha; All park entry and Ngorongoro Crater fees; Bottled drinking water during game drives; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: International flights and Tanzania visa; Gratuities; Alcoholic beverages and personal expenses; and Optional activities not mentioned in the itinerary. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 5-Day Spirit of Tanzania Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
