    An unforgettable stay

    We did a 7-day Safari in the 5 parks Serengeti, Tarengire, Magnaria, N’Gorongoro, and the Arusha National Park plus visited a Masaii village It was great and unforgettable. We've seen thousands of animals On the other hand we had taken the minimum for the accommodations and of the seven nights included in the package, two accommodations were limited but the fact of talking to the organizer, the latter very responsive reviewed his copy We were accompanied throughout the stay by Joseph our driver guide speaking French and Khamis the cook What a pleasure to have accompaniments of this level. We are not about to forget them Their competence and kindness towards us was limitless. We unreservedly recommend this company for their commitment to please us by responding to all our requests Do not hesitate any more Trust them and visit Tanzania And don’t hesitate to couple your week with a few days in Zanzibar to help you decompress before you return to your daily life

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Un safari inoubliable –

    We just had an extraordinary experience on this safari, and I can only recommend this adventure 100%! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We had the chance to observe a wide variety of animals in their natural environment, the Big 5. A huge thank you to Benjamin, Luca, and Mathew, who were exceptional throughout the trip. Their professionalism, kindness, and passion for nature truly made all the difference. We felt in good hands, in a warm and safe atmosphere. This safari will remain forever etched in our memories. Thank you again for these incredible moments!

    Tanzania!!! 7 Day Safari!!!

    My wife and I went on this 7 day Joined Safari. We were joined by a couple from Switzerland and a couple from Japan. Great fun people and we all switched seats in the Toyota daily. Our driver and guide was Bernard (i) Emanuel Sarakikya. The cook was Korbello (sp). Bernard was simply outstanding. Knowledgeable about the culture, safety, animals, ecology, neighboring countries, and superb driving and positioning skills so we could get the best animal photos. The food, especially the soups, were fantastic. Another thing I noticed about Bernard. As we stopped at various rest areas and points of interest when we could get out of the Toyota, if another guide was having vehicle problems, Bernard would offer assistance. This never delayed our own safari adventure, but it showed us a side of him that was appreciated. A great adventure. For us, a 5 day safari would work out just as well. When camping overnight, which we did for 3 days, make sure you have towels, TP and soap. There are bathrooms, but with so many people camping the supplies in the bathrooms run out. A wonderful experience. mark

    Excellent safari experience organised by Bernard.

    We had a great trip organised by Bernard, he picked us up from Arusha airport with minivan and we were transferred to a Safari Landcruiser. The lodge close to Lake Manyari was clean, the beds were good. Food on safari was good with breakfast in the morning, warm lunch and warm dinner with various dishes (chicken every day!), water/beer/wine/coke included. The camping in the Serengeti and on the crater rim was an amazing experience. We had 3 drivers over 7 days and they were all knowledgable and safe drivers. Please be advised that the quality of your tour depends a lot on the driver and cook, we were very happy with ours (Ezechiel, Augustine and Richard), and our Cook Motsi. Please be prepared for some last minute changes and be flexible, our schedule changed a few times last minute, but we did see everything we booked. Also please take into account that is common to tip driver and cook. Last day in Arusha NP Bernard came along with us during the walking tour. Thank you Bernard for an amazing trip.

    5 stars for the big 5 and this amazing tour.

    We have enjoyed this tour very much. We were lucky to have seen the big 5. The quide that took us through all the parks was very professional, he knew a lot about the flora and fauna. Above all he was a very nice guy.

    Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari Adventure: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $192 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 Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari 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 Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari 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 Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari Adventure?

    +

    Around 3 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 Big Five & Beyond – Join the 7 Days Safari 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 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.
