Best trip yet!!
Eli was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable about all the animals and plants. He took us to all the best places and we got to see so many wonderful things. He has such a kind heart! The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him.

Great experience!!!!
We had the best experience with our tour guide Eli in Tanzania. We stayed in Tanzania for 8 nights and it was truly an incredible and wonderful experience. An authentic wildlife experience.

Great Experience!
Wonderful experience! We were able to see lots of animals and get to know a bit of African culture. Eli was an amazing guide who offered us a lot of knowledge and kindfulness. Completely recommended. We visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro crater spotting a huge variety of animals. African Trekkers offers an exclusive and splendid service, the car was in perfect condition.

Eilsante and his Team know Tanzania
In the spirit of full disclosure, Elisante, my driver from a trip over a year ago, reached out to me to ask if I would write a review of my trip. I hope that it says something that even over the passage of a year, I am willing to write a review of my time in Tanzania and the people who made the trip so special. In a nutshell, your guide has a significant impact on your overall experience. The highlights of the trip are seeing the animals up close, taking in the spectacular views, and interacting with the locals, but these experiences are much enhanced with a quality guide. I am happy to report that Elisante and his team meet that bar. Elisante was familiar with the terrain and spots that the animals frequent. He knew where to stop or slow down for opportunistic photos. Lastly, he managed to make us feel at ease when meeting new people on our journey. I think it is worth mentioning some of the overlooked aspects of his service. He would que in line on our behalf while we rested. The Landrover was cleaned and taken care of constantly; this is a tall order when traveling in an open car with dirt roads. And he had the patience and grace to handle more demanding guests. I know it breaks the cadence of three examples in writing, but i feel compelled to tell one more tid bit. On our way to the Serengeti, the window was smashed by a stray rock kicked up by another vehicle. No one was hurt, but Elisante was calm and collected and patched the window on the spot. Thank you for making it this far. I will wrap this up and say my experience was superb and you are in good hands with Elisante and his team.

Trip of a lifetime!
As part of my trip to Tanzania, Africa, I did a safari. Our tour guide, Elisante, from African Savannah Trekkers was absolutely amazing! He picked us up from the air strip and was with us for the entirety of the tour. He was so very knowledgeable about all the animals and surroundings that it really enriched the safari experience. He was also very flexible and accommodating for alternate routes we needed to take due to rain or other vehicles malfunctioning. Elisante also made sure we got the best angles and views for our pictures of the animals and the safari surrounding areas. He even took us to a shopping center and reminded us to bargain. We also added a visit to the Maasai tribe. This just made the trip so much more special. I would highly recommend Elisante and his company.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1715 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 Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights safari 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 Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 58 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 Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights 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 Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights safari 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 Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights safari?
+
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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Tanzania 5days 4nights 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 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.
