Local specialists, private journeys

Tanzania Hiking and Safaris is an Arusha-based operator running private treks and safaris across northern Tanzania. We are not a booking site: the people who plan your trip are the people who brief your guide.

How we work

Every trip is private and every itinerary is written for the group that is travelling. We do not run fixed departures or fill vehicles with strangers. If you want an extra night in the Serengeti or a slower profile on the mountain, the itinerary changes.

Why our climbs are longer

Summit success on Kilimanjaro tracks days on the mountain more closely than anything else. We do not sell five-day summit attempts, and every itinerary we run includes the extra acclimatisation day. It costs a little more and it works considerably better.

The crews

Our guides are licensed by the national park authority and hold current wilderness first aid certification. Porters are paid at or above the rates set by the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project, and loads are weighed at the gate. This is not a marketing line — it is the difference between a mountain crew that comes back next season and one that does not.

Where we go

Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru for trekking; the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara for game; Zanzibar for the days afterwards. We know these places well enough to tell you when not to go.
