A wonderful,unforgettable experience!
Wonderful tours! Would highly recommend! We had an excellent experience right from the time of arrival at the airport for our safari. RLAT made sure that we felt at home and every accommodation and planning of the safari was perfect. Prompt and good care and effective communication was evident throughout our trip! Very professional tour guides! In fact, our special dietary requirements were taken care of through out the trip. Our tour guide, Dhili, made sure that we saw all the big 5 and additional animals including the wildebeest migration! Very happy with our Safari trip!

The Safari of a lifetime
We had the best Safari-Experience anyone could ever have. We not only got to see the big 5, but also a pack of lions feeding on a buffalo. Our guide was the best, knew the answer to each and every one of our questions and took care of us in the most amazing way. Our chef took care of the fact that each one of us probably gained a couple of pounds - from amazing breakfast pancakes to delicious lunch boxes there was nothing left to ask for. Over all, we had a great time and would gladly do the next Safari with here 👍

Fantastic safari experience
My Family had a great safari with Real Life Adventure Travel we did a 5 days Northern Tanzania trip with 4 days spent in Serengeti National Park and the last day in Ngorongoro Crater with Stewart as our excellent guide. He showed us numerous animals during game drives in different areas of expansive Serengeti and crater visit in Ngorongoro and was knowledgeable telling us a lot about the animals we saw. The visit to Hadzabe Bushmen was fun too, spending time with tribesmen seeing them mimic hunting and the vibrant dances. Lodgings for safari were great; comfortable rooms/tents and wonderful staff. Food was also very good. RLAT did a splendid job of planning and hosing our trip. Highly recommend travellers to talk with Real Life Adventure Travel for all Tanzania safaris.

Thank you so so much for such an incredible trip
Our little group (7 people, family & friends) was guided by Freddie (founder of Real Life Adventure Travel) and his team during our entire trip, and we couldn't have been happier, everything was beyond expectations. We had planned to climb Mount Meru and go on a safari afterwards, and thanks to RLAT, we experienced both adventures in the best possible way ! The accommodations were perfectly sorted and very comfortable, the team remarquably navigated us through streams of tourists to avoid croud effects and allow us to fully enjoy each site, and we ate like kings and queens the entire time. On Mt Meru: The climb definitely felt intense but our guides gave us the best pieces of advice to manage, while making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Even though most of the group had little to no experience (only two people were advanced hikers/climbers), EVERYBODY reached the top of Mount Meru. I don't recall many other groups also doing the climb that could state the same : we kept seeing people (some with way more experience) turning back down when we never even had to consider it. Even at the hardest point towards the end, the guides handled the situation in an exemplar way and managed to bring us to the top right at sunrise. We were truly amazed by the quality of their organisation and their profound knowledge of the mountain and all its elements. On the safari : We visited three of the main parks of Tanzania : N'Gorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park and Arusha National Park. RLAT had booked us an amazing driver/guide for the whole trip and selected incredible accommodations for us to stay. We drove through the parks listening to the infinite stories and anecdotes of our driver, learning and seeing so much more than we imagined ! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Response from the operator: we are so happy and excited at the same time its been a while Claire,it was nice hosting you and sharing all these beautiful experiences while you were here,am glad you all had fun from climbing Mt Meru all the way to wildlife safari,please send my greetings to the rest of the family, it was a great pleasure serving you all.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days Tanzania Private Group Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How does 5 Days Tanzania Private Group Safari compare to similar tours in Arusha?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Arusha, with an Outty Ranking of 61. At $3,437 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 Private Group 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 Private Group Safari good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $3,437, above the $1,031 typical for similar experiences in Arusha.
How much does 5 Days Tanzania Private Group Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $3,437 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 Private Group 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 Private Group Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 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 Tanzania Private Group 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 Private Group 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 Private Group Safari?
+
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 Tanzania Private Group 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.
