Tanzania Adventure Tours opens the window to a world that you’ve only dreamed about. We know Tanzania - from Arusha to Zanzibar, from the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro.
It’s natural to say Safari when you think of Tanzania - we are home to phenomenal wildlife, including the “big five” - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros. And it’s true they roam the natural beauty of several National Parks including the Serengeti - the site of the Great Migration.
As a World Heritage Site, you will experience African culture, beautiful lodges and tented camps, breathtaking scenery - including mountains, craters, lakes, rainforests, savannas, and white sand beaches.
You will meet the wonderful people of Tanzania, in the city life of Arusha and the traditional lifestyle of distinct ethnic tribes. Watch as beautiful children walk to school, and residents and merchants enjoy a stable economy in safe surroundings. Our experienced guides will introduce you to all that Tanzania offers.
Tanzania Adventure Tours has earned high praise from our guests, as well as a consistent 5-star ratings from TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards. We are proud, and humbled, by the recognition we have received, but know that we’re only as good as our next Adventure.
We offer the most customizable and flexible itinerary planning in the business, matched with Tanzania’s leading, experienced tour guides, led by legendary tour director, Said Kambelenje, with 25 years of guide experience.
Confidently, we know Tanzania - inside and out. That’s not bragging. It’s endorsed by the wonderful reviews we receive and the generosity of our patrons to refer us to their friends. With this overwhelming support, we continue to raise the bar of our product and service - to the highest level.
