Unique safari, great organization and a great experience
Very good individual planning in advance. All change requests or ideas were possible and were quickly adapted. Easy communication via WhatsApp or Mail with Verah. We planned the private safari with a mix of tents and lodges in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks Everything worked out, from the airport pick-up to the safari to the onward flight. On the day of arrival there was a short briefing by the owner Clinton and introduction of our driver Eric. We stayed the first few days with Eric and our cook tenting. Both spoke very good English. Eric is a great guide! Knows the animals and their behavior as Maasai. He always brought us very close to the animals! Knows all national parks very well. Over dinner we had interesting conversations about life in Tanzania. Very exciting! We had a burst tire, which happens regularly in the Serengeti because of the roads. Could change Eric quickly. He's been on Game Drive with us for hours as long as we wanted. Food was very delicious and varied, although cooking was only on a gas stove. Mostly there was a soup as a starter and main course and salad. Water, tea and coffee are always included. Tents are being set up. The night was especially exciting on a special campsite alone in the Serengeti! Camping toilet and shower were set up. We personally liked camping better and are a good alternative to expensive lodges. We used to go to bed early and leave at 6 or 7. The drive to the Northern Serengeti was definitely worth it. Even in October we saw 500-600 wild beests crossing the river. Africa Joy Safari we can only recommend.
Response from the operator: Lieber Hannes, wir freuen uns sehr über Ihre tolle Empfehlung unseres Unternehmens von Ihrer Reise mit uns. Es war uns eine große Freude, Sie während Ihrer Reise zu beherbergen und wir freuen uns, dass Sie eine tolle Erfahrung hatten. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für uns entschieden haben und willkommen zurück!

We had a truly memorable experience that exceeded all of our expectations: they are the best!
I, my wife and our two kids went on an 8-days safari with Africa Joy tours to Tarangire, Serengeti (North and Center), Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, followed by 5-days extension to Zanzibar. When planning our trip, Clinton was always extremely kind and helpful. We made some personal suggestions to the initial plan, which were readily implemented, in a timely and efficient manner. Our private tour guide Raymond picked us up at the airport in Kilimanjaro and dropped us off there in the end. He was a great company throughout the Safari, always very friendly, funny, supportive and knowledgeable: we were so lucky!Raymond knew everything about the parks and wildlife and was amazing at spotting animals. He was even patient enough to teach us some Swahili words. It was a fantastic trip and a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, we saw a lot of animals, including the Big Five (in less than 24 hours!) and the wildebeest migration. Even with the Covid19 pandemics, everything went smoothly. The lodges were fantastic, with excellent accommodation and food, and Covid19-related health security measures were in place: we always felt secure. We had a truly memorable experience that exceeded all of our expectations, and highly recommend Africa Joy tours: they are the best!
Response from the operator: Dear guest, We highly appreciate your great recommendation of our company from the trip you had with us. It was a great pleasure to host you during your trip and we are glad that you had an awesome experience. Thank you for choosing us and welcome back!

100% Tanzanian Safari - 100% satisfied travelers
In this year of global pandemic, organizing a trip abroad is not easy, but not impossible! We chose Africa Joy Tours, Tanzanian Enterprise, and came back delighted! Clinton, James and Sengoro pampered us throughout our 8-day safari (Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire), mixing camping and tented camps (Migombani and Africa safari Lake Natron: breathtaking views and swimming pools welcome!). Perfect organization, driver guide at the top (bravo James for the big 5s, and especially for the Tarangire leopard!), and cook 5* who spoiled us at all meals (and as an aperitif!) and he also has a lynx eye! 4x4 and perfectly maintained equipment, sanitary rules respected, all entrances to parks and campsites already booked, we just have to enjoy the sumptuous landscapes and observe the incredible wildlife scattered in these huge expanses of wild beauty (and almost deserted, covid obliges, so we were really privileged, the height of luxury!) Clinton, who runs the Enterprise and responds to emails, is very responsive, arranging and adapting to your wishes and last minute changes (variable airline schedules, and uncertainties related to the virus), excellent contact by email and on site. In short, an excellent stay with beautiful people in all respects, and an Enterprise to recommend 100%. Thank you friends for all these fantastic moments shared with you!
Response from the operator: Dear guest, We highly appreciate your great recommendation of our company from the trip you had with us. It was a great pleasure to host you during your trip and we are glad that you had an awesome experience. Thank you for choosing us and welcome back!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days Tanzania Join Group Safari from Arusha: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 5 Days Tanzania Join Group Safari from Arusha cost?
+
Prices start at $1,245 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 Join Group Safari from Arusha 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 Join Group Safari from Arusha worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Join Group Safari from Arusha?
+
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 Join Group Safari from Arusha 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 Join Group Safari from Arusha?
+
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 Join Group Safari from Arusha 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.
