BEHIND THE SCENES AT TANZANIA TRIPS
“Tanzania has got so much to offer and most tour agencies only scratch the surface of what Tanzania really is. Tanzania isn’t just visiting the national parks, spotting the big 5 and staying in fancy hotels.
What makes your trip truly special is meeting the local people, sharing a plate of chicken at their favorite local restaurant and hearing stories of their experiences in Tanzania, while having a drink at a campfire.”
Of course not everyone prefers to sleep on dried cow-hide in a dusty maasai house. Maybe just one night, and the rest of the nights in a nice lodge. So we decided to offer experiences tailor-made to everyone’s wishes. A bit of the highlights to write home about and a bit of the real-local experience to bring home as a lasting memory.

“Truly tailor made itineraries”
The old ways of travelling are over, standard packages just don’t do it anymore these days. People want a trip that is tailored to what they think africa should be for them! This is exactly what we offer, not just tailor-made trips, but tailor-made to the smallest detail. You’ve got a great idea for a trip? We’ll make it happen
NO tourism, YES experience.
We organise ‘off-the-beaten-track’ travel, sure we offer the ‘normal’ trips. Who wouldn’t want to visit Serengeti, right? But next to these trips we also offer new experiences with fun guides, our own hikes on self discovered paths, cool camping trips, group bbq’s and sunset rides. Real experiences, without other tourists, where you can truly get to know and bond with our local guides. After all, an adventure is most fun when it’s shared.
STOP THE RUSH.
No hasty tours! We don’t put in as much ‘experience’ in a day as possible, just to ‘show’ you everything. We take our time, so you can EXPERIENCE. Or like they say in Tanzania, we go ‘pole pole’ (slowly, slowly). Real experience comes from taking your time to see and feel a place. For example, visiting an amazing place, the local hotsprings! Most tour operators stay there for an hour and then drive on. That, is what we call “tourism”. We like to dive in the experience (literally), take our time, have a nice bbq and a beer when we get tired of swimming
