Arusha, Tanzania · Locally Guided

Safari trips planned personally, guided authentically.

Tribe & Trails Safaris runs small, custom safari and adventure trips across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar — planned directly with you, no call centers, no middlemen.

What We Run

Four ways to experience Tanzania

Every trip is built around the same principle: small groups, real local knowledge, and an itinerary shaped around you.

Safari Game Drives

Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire — tracking wildlife with guides who know the terrain.

Mountain Climbing

Guided ascents of Mount Kilimanjaro, with routes matched to your fitness and time.

Cultural Tours

Visits to local communities around Arusha, done respectfully and on their terms.

Beach Holiday

Wind down in Zanzibar after the trail — often paired with a mainland safari.

Off the Main Trail

Need a place to stay? Meet Makali Private Villa.

Alongside our trips, we also arrange private accommodation and Airbnb-style stays in Arusha — sorted before or after the trail, or booked entirely on their own.

The Roof of Africa

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

Guided ascents up Africa's highest peak, matched to your pace and experience. Every route below is a real, established path up the mountain — tell us which one fits and we'll take it from there.

Marangu Route

5-6 Days

The oldest and most established route, known for hut accommodation instead of tents — a common choice for first-time trekkers.

Moderate

Machame Route

6-7 Days

Nicknamed the "Whiskey Route" for its steeper pace — scenic and popular, with camping under open sky rather than huts.

Challenging

Lemosho Route

7-8 Days

A longer, more gradual route often associated with better acclimatization thanks to the extra days on the mountain.
