    5 days safari: Tarangire/Serengeti/Ngorongo/Eyasi lac/Tribes

    We are 2 friends and we went on a 5-day safari with Paul. 1st day Tarangire , 2nd and 3rd days Serengeti, 4th day Ngorongoro + Lake Eyasi and 5th day tribal visit. We had a great time in the company of Paul and his assistant guide/driver Fulgence and Peter the cook. All 4 nights were camping and the tent was provided by Paul. The meals were all delicious and very hearty! We loved the 4 parks, all beautiful. The 2 days in Serengeti allowed to see the animals at sunrise and end of day and it was fantastic. The 2 guides gave us a lot of explanations about fauna and flora. The only downside was the 5th day , it was too long and a lot of road and we were less excited for a visit of the tribes one morning at the same price as a whole day of safari . Four days would have been enough.

    Ngorongoro Crater -Best safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Ngorongoro Crater -Best safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,974 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 Ngorongoro Crater -Best 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 Ngorongoro Crater -Best safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ngorongoro Crater -Best safari?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Ngorongoro Crater -Best 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 Ngorongoro Crater -Best safari?

    +

    Around 0 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 Ngorongoro Crater -Best 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.
