Tanzania Specialists
We specialize in Tanzania and Tanzania only. This allows us to have unprecedented knowledge and access to the most remote and unadulterated parts of the country to offer you a unique and enjoyable experience. Also, unlike other operators that have an obligation to recommend certain safaris or accommodations, as an independent safari tour operator, we are able to suggest lodges and camps, tours and safaris, which suit your needs.
 
In addition, many safari operators tell travelers that any and every month is great safari, and when clients arrive at their destination, they are disappointed due to the uncomfortable weather or lack of wildlife. We are experts of the local wildlife and regions and have the knowledge of the seasonal wildlife concentration, so we will be able to tell you the truth about each season, discussing both the positives and the negatives.

We will work with you to develop the perfect itinerary based on your specific requirements, animal and culture interests, and lodging preferences, and also consider the seasonal variations of wildlife to optimize your safari experience. Whether a family trip or luxurious vacation, from the beginning to end we will attend to every detail of your safari to ensure you the best trip of a lifetime.We strive to exceed your expectations through our prompt attention, enthusiasm, understanding, and expertise.

All lines of communication are open to you, whether you want to really talk on the phone to discuss the nitty-gritty details of your trip, or even pop a quick question over IM, we are here for you.

We also support local non-profit organizations such as Jewelers That Care and My World that work to fund local projects in Tanzania.

Jewelers That Care
 
Alethe Clemetson traveled to Tanzania for the first time as a volunteer and was struck by the severe poverty and lack of healthcare access that the Tanzanian people were suffering through. This propelled her to found the organization, Jewelers That Care, to build schools and water-wells, and to fund hospitals to greater enhance the standard of living of the people.
 
Anthony himself was raised in Monduli, the area where they are currently trying to build a water-well, and knows all too well the people’s hardships. Currently, he a project manager of this non-profit and facilitates the on-ground services to enable the construction of the water-well.

My World
My World was founded to offer disadvantaged students in Tanzania the once in a lifetime opportunity to experience their country's stunning national parks - from the plains of the Serengeti to the snowy summit of Kilimanjaro. The project grew out of the founder's collective experience as Peace Corps volunteers, and out of a concern for raising environmental awareness among students and because Tanzanian students deserve an opportunity to experience the splendor in their country that wealthy foreign tourists every day enjoy. Over the last two years, My World has funded trips for over 100 students to the national parks and has funded the educations of about 20 students. This year, My World hopes to grow by partnering with tourists to support students on these amazing adventures.

Responsible Tourism

Fair Wages
All our employees, including guides, cooks, and porters, are well-paid professionals. Just as we make sure our customers pay a fair price for a safari and we ensure our employees are paid a fair wages.
 
Porter Treatment
We take most care of our Porters. We make sure that they have their own tents and sleeping bags, are outfitted properly and they get paid well and promptly. They deserve the same standard of care and treatment that are expected for our visitors. We ask that tips are distributed to each part of the staff, including the porters, individually, to ensure proper distribution.
 
Ecotourism
We support low-impact, responsible, and ethical tourism and recognize that Tanzania is the only country in the world to allocate more than 25% of its total area to wildlife parks and game reserves. We are firmly convinced that responsible tourism helps Tanzania preserve this fragile wilderness by contributing to the country’s overall economic base as a critical Tanzanian industry. We buy food for safaris and Kilimanjaro treks from the local market only. We train our guides, drivers, cooks, and porters regularly to collect rubbish even of other people and not dispersing any into the environment.
