Our trip to Africa in 2025
We were a group of five families and made a round trip in Tanzania: Start at Arusha - Tarangire National Park - Serengeti (central and northern) - Ngorongoro Crater - Lake Manyara National Park - end at Arusha (flight to Zanzibar). It was an amazing trip! We have been in Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Botswana and Zambia several times before. But Tanzania and especially the Serengeti was the best of all! We saw a lot of lions, cheetahs and a leopard even with their babies - so cute! Our lodges were very nice and good located except our lodge for visiting the Ngorongoro crater. It was near the crater.. Thanks kim.tours for good safari organised, Our guide had good connections to other guides so that we always were informed very well about any sightings in the parks! We finished our trip with a relaxing week in Nungwi & Jambiani at Zanzibar in a small boutique hotel. Overall it was a fantastic journey and we would love to come back! The people, animals, plants, history, archaeology, geology, mountains, beaches all simply amazing, I recommend to travel with Kim'zebra Adventures & Safari Ltd.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Judhith, for sharing your incredible experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed Tanzania and especially the Serengeti. It's wonderful to hear our guide’s efforts contributed to your memorable trip. We hope to welcome you back someday!

5 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How does 5 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari compare to similar tours in Arusha?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 58. At $2,567 it sits above the typical similar option ($1,031), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for couples and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is 5 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari best for?
+
It suits couples and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 120-hour length, minimum age of 12 and free cancellation up to 72 hours before.
Is 5 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $2,567, above the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.
How much does 5 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $2,567 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 Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge 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 Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 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 Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. 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 Days Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge Safari?
+
Around 0 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 Tanzania Big Five Camping | Lodge 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.
