View packageThe most significant advantage of joining a shared group for a 5-day tour is the cost-effectiveness of the trip. By sharing the expenses of the professional guide, fuel, and the 4x4 vehicle with other travelers, you get to visit world-class parks like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro at a fraction of the price of a private tour. It is also a fantastic way to meet like-minded adventurers from all over the world while exploring the Northern Circuit
We typically limit our groups to a maximum of six or seven participants to ensure everyone has a window seat for the best wildlife viewing and photography. This small group size allows for a more intimate experience and better communication with your professional driver-guide. Even though you are sharing the vehicle, the pop-up roof provides ample space for everyone to stand and see the animals clearly in parks like Tarangire and Lake Manyara.
Solo travelers are more than welcome to join our scheduled departures and it is actually one of our most popular options for individuals. You will be matched with other travelers, which eliminates the single-supplement costs typically associated with private transport and guiding. This makes the five-day shared group safari an ideal choice for people traveling alone who want to stay safe and socialize while witnessing the Big Five.
Most of our group-joining packages utilize high-quality public campsites where you sleep in waterproof tents on comfortable mattresses provided by us. A private chef travels with the group to prepare all meals, ensuring you are well-fed after a long day in the Serengeti plains. For those who prefer more comfort, we sometimes offer a lodge-based version of this group tour, though camping remains the most authentic and popular way to experience the wild.
Because this is a shared tour with a fixed schedule, the main route through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara cannot be changed once the trip has started. The itinerary is carefully planned to ensure all participants see the major highlights within the allotted time frame. If you have specific extra activities in mind, like a walking tour, it is best to check with us before booking to see if it fits the group's pre-set plan.
Since space in the safari vehicle is limited when the group is full, we recommend packing light and using soft-sided bags instead of hard suitcases. Most of our guests leave their large suitcases and non-essential items in the secure storage lockers at our office or their hotel in Arusha. This ensures everyone has enough legroom and that the vehicle remains organized throughout the journey to the national parks
Our chefs specialize in producing hearty and delicious meals using fresh local ingredients purchased right before the departure. You can expect a mix of international dishes like pasta and chicken as well as local favorites like spiced rice and fresh tropical fruits. Even in the middle of the wilderness, the quality of the food is a highlight for many of our group participants.
Yes, our 4x4 Land Cruisers are equipped with power inverters and multiple sockets so you can charge your phones and camera batteries while on the move. This is particularly useful during the long drives through the Serengeti when you will likely be taking hundreds of photos of lions and leopards. We do recommend bringing a personal power bank just in case you want to charge devices inside your tent at night.
While wildlife can be seen year-round, the dry season from June to October offers the best conditions for spotting animals gathered around water sources. During these months, the vegetation is thinner, making it much easier for your guide to find the elusive cats and rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater. Joining a group during the peak season also means departures are more frequent and guaranteed to run.
You will spend several hours on the road each day as you transition between the diverse ecosystems of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Serengeti. While some of the distances are long, the drives are often treated as game drives where you can spot wildlife along the way. Your guide will plan for regular breaks at scenic viewpoints and picnic areas to ensure the journey remains comfortable for the entire group.
