    Africa Safaris

    All in all, it's still a good memory because it was my first safari. However, I regret the lack of communication with the agency's officials. No coordination with the guides. I was supposed to have a French-speaking guide but to no avail. This was my first request and the reason I chose this agency, it does not respect its commitments. However, the person in charge was sometimes accommodating. But I never knew who I was chatting with via WhatsApp, no follow-up to previous exchanges. As for the guide, he was driving too fast on the slopes, members of the group and I were often injured by falling, while we were taking pictures or filming, I was covered with bruises at the end of the day, it is unacceptable! I'm sorry I tipped him a lot. And I'm not even talking about lodging in lodges and hotels where there was no hot water. Except for the last day I had my room changed. On the plus side, I discovered a humble, smiling and welcoming people, lush raw nature and a diversity of wildlife.

    5 Day Safari and Kilimanjaro attempt

    Hi, my name is Stephen and a few days ago I undertook both a safari and a Kilimanjaro climb with Moraka Safari. Moraka arrange everything for me, including accommodation in Arusha and Moshi before between and after each part of the trip, and drivers foreach part, including pick up and drop off at the airport. The safari was a five-day series of trips into the Serengeti and other national parks, including Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara and involved both Lodges and camping overnight. We even visited a Maasai village! A varied group of different people were teamed together for each part, lead by a specific guide for each national park. We were safely but closely shown almost all imaginable animals (Giraffe, Lions, Cheetahs, Elephants, Zebra, Wildebeast, Monkeys, Baboons, Hippos , birds of many types etc) in their natural setting, including around the campsites. There were no lions at the campsite... or were there! There were definitely some rustling of tents, and buffalo were seen by one of the team in night. Overall, the safari was excellent, well organised and expertly run by experienced guides. I have no hesitation in recommending Moraka Safari and this tour. But wait, there’s more. Moraka Safari also organised the climb for me in a small group, each client with a guide and a team including a few porters and a cook. My guide was Emannuel, who forged a lasting friendship with me in his attempt to keep me moving on this gruelling 5 day climb on the Marangu route. Alas, I wasn’t fit enough to finish, only reaching the Horombo hut – only 2000m elevation gain in 2 days! I will be back for another try after some targeted fitness training (this time I know what I’m up against) over the next 12 months and I will certainly be asking Moraka Safaris to arrange it for me!

    Incredible Safaris

    It was a spectacular trip, Latipher was very vigilant from the beginning of my trip to the last moment at the airport, Tanzania is an excellent destination for solo travelers, as you will find many friends, I had an amazing time. Latipher helped me get my guide to speak Spanish for which I am very grateful, the chef, the food, the hotel and the camp are all very well. These were amazing Safari days, I highly recommend Moraka Safaris Africa the service is the best. Thank you Latipher for making this trip one of my favorites.

    5 days Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 5 days Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,500 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 Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania 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 Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 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 Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania?

    +

    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 Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania 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 Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania?

    +

    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 Tarangire Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania 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.
