For many years, 5 Star Management has focused on one core mission: delivering high-quality, comfortable, professional accommodation for guests visiting Dar Es Salaam. From short-term travelers to expatriates and visiting families, our apartments have countless people looking for a blend of modern living, convenience, and exceptional service.
“Can you help us find a reliable safari package or tour guide?”
Over time, something interesting started happening – our guests didn’t only come to Dar Es salaam to rest. They were also coming to experience Tanzania, one of the most beautiful countries in Africa, known worldwide for its wildlife, beaches, mountains, culture, and warm hospitality. As we listened to their needs, one message became increasingly clear:
This consistent request inspired our next step. Today, I am proud to announce something that has been in development for many months:
INTRODUCING 5 STAR MANAGEMENT’S SAFARI & CAMPING PACKAGES
We are officially expanding or services to include safari, camping, and island-tour packages, created specifically for our apartment guests and customers – but also open to the general market. This expansion is born from a growing demand for unique, well-curated, trustworthy safari service that match the same standard of professionalism our customers expect from us.
“In this blog post, i want to explain why we chose to enter this industry, how we plan to deliver these services, and why we believe this is the right moment for 5 Star Management to evolve.” – MD, 5 Star management
Why We Are Expanding Into Safari & Camping Packages
• Because we already serve the same market
Most of our clients are tourists from around the world—Europe, the U.S., Asia, the Middle East, and neighboring African countries. When they stay in our apartments, they often arrive with plans to explore Tanzania’s national parks such as:
- Mikumi
2. Nyerere National Park
3. Ruaha
4. Serengeti
5. Tarangire
6. Ngorongoro Crater
What many of them lack is a reliable and safe way to book these experiences.
Tanzania is famous globally for its wildlife, and Dar es Salaam happens to be the main entry point into the country, with Julius Nyerere International Airport serving millions of travelers each year. Because of this, most tourists begin and end their journey here—and naturally, they turn to their hosts (which is us) for guidance.
This connection makes the extension from accommodation to safari services not just logical, but strategic.
• We wanted to solve a real customer problem:
1. Over the years, our customers often told us:
“We don’t know which tour guide to trust.”
“We want a package that is affordable but still professional.”
“Can you recommend someone you trust personally?”
“We want a complete package: accommodation + safari + Zanzibar.”
Instead of simply giving recommendations, we realized we could play a bigger role. By offering our own vetted, well-organized packages, we can ensure our guests:
✔ Stay safe
✔ Enjoy a genuine Tanzanian experience
✔ Visit real parks with certified guides
✔ Avoid being scammed by unlicensed agents
✔ Get good value for money
Our new safari packages are designed exactly for this.

How Our Combined Packages Benefit Guests:
When customers choose our safari packages, they get access to a full set of advantages that make their travel easier and more secure.
A. One-Stop Service
Instead of booking accommodation with one company, a safari with another, and a Zanzibar trip with a third—you now get everything under one trusted provider.
B. Affordable Pricing Through Partnership
Because we already serve guests in more than 20 fully furnished apartments across Dar es Salaam, we can offer discounted combined packages that include:
Apartment stay
Airport pickup
Safari tour
Camping
Zanzibar trip
Our partnership with MGOBA SAFARIS allows us to negotiate rates that would not be possible for individual travelers acting alone.
C. Professional Staff & Experienced Hosts
Our hospitality team is:
Well-trained
Experienced with international standards
Fluent in customer care
Supported with the right equipment
Dedicated to ensuring each visitor gets an unforgettable experience
We bring the same level of service that built our brand into the safari experience.
D. Trusted, Vetted Tour Guides
Safety is a major concern for travelers. A safari involves wildlife, remote areas, and local knowledge—so guides must be experienced and licensed.
Through our partnership, we guarantee:
Real, verified tour operators
Licensed vehicles
Trained guides
24/7 support
Clear communication before, during, and after the trip
This level of trust cannot be bought; it is built through years of experience.
- Customizable Packages
Whether you’re a backpacker, a couple, a family, or a group—we tailor your trip to your needs. - Combination of City + Safari + Island
Most tour companies offer a safari only, but we offer a 3-part experience:
Dar es Salaam – food, nightlife, beaches
Safari Camp (Morogoro) – nature, wildlife, adventure
Zanzibar – white sands, blue waters, island life
It’s the full Tanzania experience in one package. - Verified Experience
Because guests stay in our apartments before and after their safari, we maintain full visibility and communication—your trip is supervised from start to finish. - Local Expertise
Being a Tanzanian company run by Tanzanians, we know our country deeply. We provide the real experience—not the tourist version.
