A must book trip!

We had a great experience with Cubs expeditions from start to finish. We booked directly through the company after finding them online. Humphrey was pleasant, responsive and helped us create a great personalized itinerary. The tour itself was amazing and incorporated all the best parts of Tanzania. We were able to see the “big 5” during our trip. Our guide Chalice and chef Halidy were amazing at their jobs and very pleasant to be around during the week. They were very attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. We cannot say enough good things about them. If we are lucky enough to visit Tanzania again we will be sure to make Cubs our first call.

Amazing Experience with reliable and attentive personnel

The safari was amazing! We booked an offer for a 4-day safari (6 days including arrival and departure in Arusha) by Oasis Wildlife Tours, which was pooled with other operators due to lower demand in the off-season. Pick-up and drop-off from and to the airport worked perfectly. Our driver was very kind and also flexible regarding the arrival and departure times of our flights. After the arrival day with a city tour, our four-day safari started. Our driver Alli from Simbaland Magic Tours did an amazing job. He knew exactly where to look for the different animals, where to stop to get great pictures, and how to handle the rough terrain without ever getting lost on the endless small paths. Thanks to him, we not only saw all of the Big Five animals but also giraffes, zebras, gnus, ostriches, baboons, different antelopes, flamingos, eagles, all of the “Ugly Five,” and many more. Many of them could be seen from a very close distance, but our driver allways respected their space to not disturb them. The accommodations during the trip were always appropriate. During the four safari days, three meals per day were provided by our chef Joseph, who was traveling with us from camp to camp and cooking for our group. The food was very good, and he always tried to teach us a few words in Swahili. He also allways provided a vegetarian option for us. Everything was taken care of, the experience was great, we got far more than we expected, and we would definitely recommend it.

Amazing Experience

The experience was perfectly fitting the price of the travel. We had staff focused on making our experience unforgettable. The accomodations were all right. Really appreciated the camp sites where you really live with the animals. We slept with a huge buffalo eating grass 3 meters away from our tent and we arrived Simba's campsite with an Elefant in the middle of the tents.

6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks cost?

+

Prices start at $2560 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 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks take?

+

Plan for about 144 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 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 56 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 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks?

+

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 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks?

+

Around 20 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 6 days 5 nights safari Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks 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.
