5-Day Tanzania Safari Tours

A 5-day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari usually includes airport or hotel pickup in Arusha, a private safari vehicle with pop-up roof, a professional English-speaking guide, park entry fees, accommodation and meals as listed, and bottled drinking water on game drives. Most itineraries cover Tarangire or Lake Manyara, two nights in the Serengeti and a half day inside Ngorongoro Crater. Your final itinerary from Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris lists every inclusion clearly.

A 5-day Tanzania safari cost depends on accommodation level, season and whether you drive or fly between parks. As a general guide, budget camping safaris run about $250 to $390 per person per day, mid-range lodges about $550 to $990, luxury camps about $990 to $2,500, and ultra-luxury stays from about $2,500 per person per day. We send a clear private quote based on your dates, party size and preferred style.

Yes, a 5-day safari combines easily with Zanzibar, and many travellers fly directly from the Serengeti or Arusha to the island for a beach finish. A short scheduled flight connects the parks with Zanzibar, so you avoid driving back to Arusha. Some of our 5-day fly-out safaris end in Zanzibar automatically. Tell us how many beach nights you want, and we will add a suitable hotel and transfers to your private itinerary.

The best time for a 5-day Tanzania safari is the long dry season from late June to October, when animals gather near water and vegetation is thinner. January to February is excellent for the Great Migration calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area. The long rains from March to May bring green scenery and fewer visitors. Wildlife viewing in Ngorongoro Crater is rewarding all year round.

Yes, every 5-day safari with Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris is fully private and tailor-made. You travel only with your own family or friends in a dedicated vehicle with your own guide, and game drive times follow your interests rather than a fixed schedule. We adjust parks, lodges, pace and activities to suit you, whether that means a family-friendly plan, a photography focus, a honeymoon touch or a luxury fly-in style.
