A memory that will last!
A memory that will last! Our vacation in Tanzania was our first safari followed by a beach vacation in Zanzibar. We traveled as a group of three with our 19-year-old son. For all of us, the vacation was a dream and it was so varied that the vacation felt much longer than just 14 days. Everything was organized great, the lodges and hotels were super, and the wilderness was shown to us by a mega nice guide who always took care of our well-being and was the icing on the cake of the safari tour. An all-around mega great vacation. I let myself get a little worked up beforehand regarding malaria and mosquito protection... we had NO mosquitoes. That was incredible.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar. It’s great to know that your first safari was such a special experience and that you enjoyed every moment, from the beautiful lodges to relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar. We’re especially happy that your guide made the safari even more memorable by taking such good care of you. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our team! Thank you for choosing Eddy Tours and Safaris to be part of your family adventure. We hope to welcome you back to Tanzania again someday for more unforgettable memories! ❤️🌍

Amazing 5 nights with Eddy Tours and Safaris Highly recommend!
Amazing 5 nights with Eddy Tours and Safaris Highly recommend! Amazing 5 nights with Eddy Tours and Safaris for our honeymoon! From the first moment we spoke to Happiness over WhatsApp and email to do the itinerary to being picked up by our guide, Cheddy at the Kenya/Tanzania border. Happiness was very flexible and fast to respond and always kept within budget. Cheddy was the best guide ever! He was so kind, warm, professional and a great driver, no matter what the car or roads threw at him. We felt super safe and he knew where to find all the best animals! We were so happy to see the Big 5! All of the accomodation and food was amazing, definitely recommend staying in one of the tented campsites if you can, such a great experience. The food for the picnics was also very good. The kindness of all the staff will never be forgotten.

Amazing 5 day Safari trip with Eddy Tours and Safaris and driver Ombeni
Amazing 5 day Safari trip with Eddy Tours and Safaris and driver Ombeni The experience with Eddy Tours and Safaris was from the get go frictionless. The communication with Magdalena (Backoffice) was smooth and she helped us to create a bespoke trip that covered our needs for a 5 day trip. Ombeni was assigned as our guide and driver. Over these 5 days we have experienced Ombeni as a true expert…expert as a driver, in wildlife and hospitality. He takes even care of the little things so you can off load your mind and fully enjoy the Safari. Over the period he became a friend. Eddy Tours and Safaris is absolutely recommendable!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your 5-day safari with us. It was a pleasure for Magdalena to help you plan the trip and make sure the itinerary suited what you were looking for. And thank you for the kind words about Ombeni! We’re very proud to have him on our team, and we’ll definitely share your feedback with him. We’re especially happy to hear that you felt comfortable with him and that he became a friend during your time together. Thank you again for choosing Eddy Tours and Safaris and for recommending us. We really appreciate it, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania again in the future! 😊🦁🌍

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 5 Days Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals cost?
+
Prices start at $1,600 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 Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals 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 Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals?
+
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 Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals 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 Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals?
+
Around 2 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 Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals 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 Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 5 Days Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 11 listed pickup locations in and around Arusha. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 5 Days Northern Tanzania Camping Safari with Meals 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.
