Amazing Safari experience!
We had an amazing time!! Our guide, Joel, was very friendly and professional. He made sure that we were comfortable, stopping to see all the animals and making sure we got our pictures. We were able to see all of the animals, enjoy nice picnics, and spend quality time together!

An unforgettable memory / an unforgettable memory!
We spent ten days on safari with Go Expeditions and it was just perfect! We are French, and the agency manager and guides speak very good French and English, which greatly facilitated our exchanges. With our 9-year-old son, we discovered Tarangire, Arusha Park, N’Gorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Everything has been organized with remarkable precision. We were pampered from start to finish, with many attentions and a real willingness to satisfy ourselves at every moment. It is an extremely serious agency, which even helped us reach Zanzibar after the safari ended, when the elections in Tanzania had caused the blockage of airports. This confirmed how essential it is to choose a local agency: without internet, they were the only ones we could contact and they helped us immediately. A huge thank you to the whole team, and especially to our guide Joël, who spoke perfect French and taught us so much. This trip will remain an unforgettable memory!

Safari Serengeti
I was a bit skeptical when the manager of Go Expedition approach us at the bus station. But he brought me to his office and showed all his business certificates. My 2 friends and I paid for the 3 days expedition. Next thing I know, he arranged for the jeep, an experienced driver and accommodation with all meals provided. It was a magical kingdom upon reaching Ngorongoro Conservation area and Serengeti National Park. It was beyond words. End of the day we left with lots of photos for memory.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Days Tanzania Big Five Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 6 Days Tanzania Big Five Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $2,522 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 Tanzania Big Five Safari 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 Tanzania Big Five Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 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 6 Days Tanzania Big Five 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 6 Days Tanzania Big Five Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Days Tanzania Big Five 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Days Tanzania Big Five 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.
