Serengeti National Park is perhaps the most famous wildlife reserve in the world, with its horizons filled with wildebeests and zebras. The lion population here is the largest of any park in the region, if not all of Africa. But for sheer density of big cats, nothing beats the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet. These are Tanzania’s finest parks and we give you a choice to begin this Africa safari adventure at either Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Parks. Manyara is a colorful jewel, filled with thousands of pink flamingoes settled on the shores of a cobalt blue lake. Tarangire is known for its elephants, lots of migrating wildlife, and few tourists. Take your pick of the parks. We’ll visit these wild, colorful and memorable parks and all the wildlife that live upon these vital lands on this five-day Natural World Kenya Safaris exploration.

    Thanks NWKS for giving us a perfect safari.

    Our 5-day Tanzania safari was a wonderful family experience. We explored Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater with the professional Natural World Kenya Safaris. Each destination was exciting and very special wildlife encounters and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, he was very careful about our safety and made our journey enjoyable. It was a great opportunity to enjoy Tanzania's wildlife and natural beauty, as well as spend quality time with family.

    My 5 days safari experience in Tanzania was authentic. Huge thanks to the whole team!

    I’m so glad I trusted Natural World Safaris with my vacation plans. They exceeded my expectations in every way. The itinerary was thoughtfully put together with a great mix of adventure and relaxation. The accommodations were lovely, and all the logistics went off without a hitch. What stood out most was their responsiveness. Anytime I had a question, they were just a message away. That kind of support made a huge difference. Traveling has never felt so effortless. I felt cared for, valued, and most importantly, free to enjoy the journey.

    Trip of a lifetime with Natural World Kenya Safaris

    This was my family's first trip to Tanzania and it didn't disappoint. We went on a five day safari with our two teenage children, and my brother and sister-in-law and it was a trip of a lifetime! We worked with Esther for 8 months crafting our safari - researching and booking our lodges and deciding on the parks we wanted to see. Esther was amazing, always answering our questions quickly and honestly. Our guide - Jeff - was nothing short of spectacular! He was personable, funny and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure we had amazing game drives everyday. We saw every animal that was on our bucket list, along with so many more we didn't even know about! The lodges/tents/accommodations were unreal. Beautiful, well equipped, and super comfy. All of the staff we had the privilege of getting to know were very friendly, helpful and made sure we felt at home. I cannot say enough about this company and our safari experience. I highly recommend using Natural World Kenya Safaris - Arusha.

    5 Days – Tanzania Choice Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How does 5 Days – Tanzania Choice Safari compare to similar tours in Arusha?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 56. At $5,500 it sits above the typical similar option ($1,031), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is 5 Days – Tanzania Choice Safari best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 120-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is 5 Days – Tanzania Choice Safari good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $5,500, above the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.

    How much does 5 Days – Tanzania Choice Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5,500 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 Choice 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 Choice Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 – Tanzania Choice 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 – Tanzania Choice 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 – Tanzania Choice Safari?

    +

    Around 1 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 Choice 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.
