Personal recommandation

Amazing Safari Experience We had a wonderful safari experience and truly felt like we were on a carefree holiday. We were very lucky and got to see everything we had hoped for. We especially enjoyed the great conversations with Suzana and Richard, our guide, who made the trip even more enjoyable. My personal highlight was the Ngorongoro Crater. I didn't like the Great Migration that much because there were quite a lot of vehicles at that time of year, which made the experience a little less special. The food was very good but we had a lot of rice so you have to like it, and the accommodations were beautiful. All the hotel staff were friendly and welcoming, and I especially recommend staying in the tented camps inside the parks — they are definitely worth the experience. One part I personally enjoyed less was Arusha, as we often felt pressured by locals trying to sell us things, which made exploring the city less enjoyable for me. We also extended our trip with a holiday in Zanzibar, and I would especially recommend the north for its beautiful beaches and sea. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and would definitely recommend this company. The only area that could be improved was punctuality. The tour itself was well organized, but some of the arranged taxi drivers, for example to and from the airport, were repeatedly late, which was a little frustrating. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and we would happily recommend this experience to others!

incredible

We lived a safari in Tanzania simply unforgettable. From day one, everything was perfectly organized: comfortable vehicle, passionate guide, attentive and extremely competent, and breathtaking landscapes. We had the chance to observe an incredible amount of animals in their natural habitat: lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras... every day was a wonder. The parks are beautiful and offer spectacular views

Response from the operator: Merci infiniment pour ce magnifique retour. Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que votre safari en Tanzanie a été une expérience inoubliable et que l’organisation, le confort, le guide et les observations animalières ont été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Ce fut un réel plaisir de vous accueillir, et nous espérons avoir l’occasion de vous recevoir à nouveau pour une nouvelle aventure exceptionnelle. Cordialement, Gowitos Safaris and Holidays Team

A Perfect Safari Experience with Gowitos Safaris

Our visit to Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro National Park was nothing short of spectacular—a true "hakuna matata" experience. In Tarangire, we marveled at the large herds of elephants, zebras, and other wildlife against the stunning backdrop of baobab trees and the Tarangire River. The tranquil, picturesque environment made for perfect photography moments. Ngorongoro National Park was equally impressive, with breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater and an abundance of wildlife, including lions, rhinos, and flamingos. The guided tour through the crater was both informative and exciting, adding to the sense of awe and wonder. We owe our unforgettable safari adventure to GOWITOS SAFARIS AND HOLIDAYS and our knowledgeable tour guide Peter Richard, who ensured every moment was perfect. Overall, both parks provided incredible wildlife sightings and unforgettable moments, making this safari adventure highly recommended.

Response from the operator: Dear Mr.Fredrick, Thank you for traveling with us and again thank you for the positive review, Please your welcome anytime in Tanzania with Gowitos Safaris and Holidays Adventure is still waiting for you in Tanzania. Best Regards, Suzana

7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure cost?

+

Prices start at $2812 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 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure take?

+

Plan for about 168 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 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure?

+

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 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 168-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure?

+

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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 7 Day Ultimate Big Five Wildlife Adventure 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 Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. 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.
