Unique and beautiful experience
The Safari in Tanzania remains for us the best trip of our lives! Pandaeli was a perfect guide, kind, helpful and understanding. We only had 5 days but was able to propose an itinerary where we optimized the times in an incredible way and we were able to see everything! Not to mention its off-piste (where allowed) .. I highly recommend it to anyone who really wants to live an authentic Safari experience in Africa! We hope to return soon for Kilimanjaro ❤️ Thank you Pandaeli
Response from the operator: Dear Martina and Luka, Thank you so much for your wonderful review, it truly means a lot to us! We are absolutely delighted to hear that your safari in Tanzania was the most beautiful trip of your life. It was a real pleasure to host you, and I’m so happy that despite having only a few days, we were able to create an itinerary that allowed you to experience so much and make the most of your time. Your kind words about the guiding, flexibility, and overall experience are deeply appreciated. Creating authentic and memorable safari moments is exactly what we strive for, so it’s incredibly rewarding to know you felt that. It will be our great pleasure to welcome you back again; perhaps next time for your Kilimanjaro adventure! Thank you once again for choosing Destination Specialists and for your warm recommendation. Best regards, Pendaeli Amos

An unforgivable tour
I have traveled with my team of medical volunteers for over 25 years to many destinations in the world. The arrangements Destination Specialist custom made for us exceeded all expectations. We spent 3 days with them where we toured Kilimanjaro mountain, safari and waterfall. During the 3 days they did everything to make sure we enjoyed our tour, they were informative, helpful and made our tour memorable. I strongly recommend them.

Unbelievable experience!
What an incredible trip! Destination Specialist took care of everything the accommodations were amazing and our driver Phillip was incredible. He had so much information and did a fantastic job giving us a tour we will never forget. At one point we had the idea to do one of the Hot Air Balloon excursions but we feared it was too late. They made some calls and made it happen for us! We felt completely safe and were able to see more than we ever could have imagined! I hope to take my family back and would book with Destination Specialist again in a heartbeat! Thank you Philip and Pendaeli!!!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 5 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1900 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 Wildlife Safari Private Tour 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 Wildlife Safari Private Tour 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 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Private Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari Private Tour 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 Wildlife Safari Private Tour?
+
Around 3 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 Wildlife Safari Private Tour 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, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai. 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.
