Our Tanzania travel experts

Booking a trip to Tanzania can be overwhelming. Where should I go if I want to see the Big Five? Which route should I take to climb Kilimanjaro? And where should I stay if I want to treat myself to a little luxury? This is where your Tanzania Specialists come into play (see what we did there?). Not only are we 100% specialized in this wonderful country, we even have our own office here. Plus local guides who speak several languages and know almost every bush and nearly every zebra in the various national parks. We strive to provide the best service possible so that you can experience the passion we have for this country to the fullest!

Experts in the office

Our travel wizards in the background are both locals and expats who have made Arusha their home. Speaking several languages and knowing every corner of Tanzania, they can help you create the vacation you’ve been dreaming of for so long. No matter if luxury safari, Kilimanjaro climb or beach holiday in Zanzibar – not only do they put together an itinerary according to your budget and wishes, they also advise on local rules and customs. You need a flight as well? No problem! Just let them know, and they’ll make sure that you’ll get carried away… literally!

Meet Joshua

Joshua speaks both German and English and loves taking families on a safari since he gets along with kids very well. And the feeling is mutual:

I have been working for Tanzania Specialist for four years and have received only good reviews from the little ones, my biggest critics. I think it’s really cool and fun to tell kids gripping stories about nature, the Big Five and of course lion cubs, just as in the Lion King.

Meet Laizer

Laizer was born and bred in the Arusha region of Tanzania, as he is a member of the Maasai tribe. He grew up in a village called Monduli, close to national parks such as Lake Manyara and Tarangire. To this day, he is a proud member of the tribe.

I started working with Tanzania Specialist several years ago. I’m currently with guests in the Serengeti National Park. I love to focus on animal behaviour and psychology when taking clients on safari. I look at their body language and can tell what sort of mood they are in. Are they happy to see us, are they ok with us approaching, or is it better we don’t come closer?

What our guests say

Everything was wonderful, starting with our guide, Agustino, who had such a love for the animals and seemed to really enjoy sharing information about them without going overboard. […] Agustino spotted so many animals for us, we saw all of the big five and all of the ugly five, too, while still being able to answer any questions our group had.

Clemence was one of the most special humans we’ve spent time with. Warm, honest, patient, so smart, caring informative and Authentic. His knowledge of the area, culture and animals was vast. We felt so safe and at home with him.
