Great experience
We were lucky enough to see the Big 5, all of them from very close up! But beyond the incredible wildlife, what really impressed us was how well organized everything was and how amazing the food was — you can hardly imagine how they manage to prepare such great meals out there. We were especially lucky to have Felix as our guide, together with Chef Salimu and Sous-Chef Godwin. An absolutely top-notch team that made the whole experience even more special!
Response from the operator: We truly appreciate your kind review. It’s wonderful to hear that your safari was memorable and enjoyable. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back someday.

ALLLLL the animals!
I started with a 4 day safari and ended extending to a 5 day! The views, the animals, the people, our guide, everything was breathtaking and just so surreal. Pascal, our guide, was so passionate about his country, the land, and the animals that accompanied it. He explained everything there was to know and answered all our questions. He was extremely knowledgeable in so many different areas. Our cook, Salim, was awesome! He always greeted us and made sure everything was satisfactory. Always had a smile on his face and the food was always good! We were all so so lucky with all the animals that we got to see and encounter. I can’t say what my favorite part was- the herds of elephants with all their sweet babies, waking up to zebras outside out tents, or watching the lions roll around like the giant kitties they are. I will forever cherish the amazing memories 🥰 Thank you!
Response from the operator: Thank you for traveling with us and for your thoughtful review. We’re glad you enjoyed the safari overall and we take your feedback seriously as part of our commitment to high standards.

Camping in the Tanzanian Wilderness
The experience was awesome. Our guide Pascal was knowledgeable, passionate and very patient with us. The food was great and the camping sites atmospheric, situated right in the middle of the wilderness. Prepare for a camping experience and expect some mild mannered hyenas and Zebras in your camp. We had enough time to process the experience, rest and socialise. Altogether: it was awesome.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your honest and valuable feedback. We’re happy you enjoyed many aspects of your safari, and we truly appreciate your suggestions. They help us improve our services for future guests.

Awesome camping safari tour
The safari tour was just amazing! We were always a group of 6-7 people which is a good amount! The jeep is quite comfortable and has enough place to sit there for a long time. Our guide Pascal knows really well about all the landscape, history, and of course animals. He knows the streets by heart, his English is really good and his driving skills as well. Our cook Salim followed us all the way through the safari and is doing a great job. The tents are always already put up when we arrived at the camps, the food is always warm (at breakfast, lunch and dinner) and really nice! The camps have different kind of luxury style, while some have hot water and pretty good toilets, others (e.g. Serengeti) are a bit more rough - however that makes it possible to actually see the wild life marching through the camp and in between the tents! Amazing. The picking up has been a bit tough, unfortunately we were forgotten at the airport, which forced us to take a private taxi. We did get reimbursed for it, so it was fine in the end, it was just a bit rough to arrive during the night waiting for the pickup, and when we arrived at the hotel, unfortunately the room was not ready yet. The picking up times during the safari are also a bit more flexible, but mostly not to the mistake of our driver/guide, but the car broke down twice, which is expectable when going through the tough roads! Apart from that - all great! So all in all, it was all exactly the experience I dreamed of and I would advise the company to my friends if they went here. I can’t even talk about the animals and the feelings it made me feel - I guess for that experience you gotta go there for yourself.
Response from the operator: Thank you for traveling with us and for your great feedback. We’re very happy you enjoyed your safari experience. From all of us, we wish you safe travels and hope to see you again in the future.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days Group Camping Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 5 Days Group Camping Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $930 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 Days Group Camping 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 Arusha is not rushed.
Is 5 Days Group Camping Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 881 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Group Camping 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 Days Group Camping 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 Days Group Camping Safari?
+
Around 308 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 Days Group Camping 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 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.
What is included in 5 Days Group Camping Safari?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 5 Days Group Camping Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 5 Days Group Camping Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. 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 Days Group Camping 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.
Is 5 Days Group Camping Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
