Tales of Tanzania is a family-owned safari company based in Arusha, born from a deep love for our homeland. Our story began in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, in the small village of Machame, where we first worked as porters and mountain guides. With years of experience and a passion for sharing Tanzania’s beauty, we grew into a trusted safari operator—crafting unforgettable journeys across our breathtaking country.

Unforgettable
We booked with Tales of Tanzania for our safari honeymoon and it did not disappoint. Pendo and her team were very responsive in the planning process and worked with us to create an itinerary. We must have gone through almost 10 different itineraries before it was finalized and each version was done promptly with kindness. The planning process could not have gone better.
When we met up with our driver, Dismas, we knew we were in good hands and had made a great decision! He was extremely knowledgable and was flexible to our needs and schedules. We didn't feel any pressure one way or another and similar to the planning process were presented with options and facts to make the best decision for what we wanted for our trip. We feel incredibly fortunate that we were able to see all of the big five and a river crossing in the north! Dismas' instinct was unmatched and we often went a different way from other companies and it always seemed to pay off with an incredible animal sighting.
Going with a smaller, local tour company provided us with greater customization both in planning and throughout our trip. In speaking with other guests at our camps, it was clear we had made the best choice!

fantastic tour operator
I chose this tour operator because they immediately understood what I wanted. The safari was perfect. Everything went according to plan. All our requests were answered within minutes. The prices are very good. I will book with Tales of Tanzania Safaris again.

Charles was a fantastic tour guide, he accommodated to our needs in our safari adventure.
Going on safari with Tales of Tanzania is like being in family. They will meet your needs and adjust the schedule upon your request.
The owners are constantly communicating with the guide to be sure all is going as scheduled.
Our guide was fantastic.
Our safari dreams came true.
Thank you my Tanzania family!
Easy communication, professional and reliable.
We booked our 9 day safari and 8 day Zanzibar tour through Tales of Tanzania 1 year before our trip.
Pendo was so easy to communicate with, every question and modification to our itinerary was never too hard. Pendo was prompt and quick to reply (allowing for time difference). She made booking our dream honeymoon so easy and put any worries we had at ease.
We paid via Wise transfer which was the easiest method from Australia.
When we arrived at Mt Kilimanjaro airport where we were met by our lovely guide, Peter. The next day Pendo and her sister, Yasinta met us at our hotel and provided details about our itinerary and what to expect.
We started our trip in Arusha before heading to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with our incredible guide, Peter.
Peter was so generous with his knowledge and is very passionate about his work and the animals.
Pendo booked us into beautiful accommodation, with incredible views and delicious food. Our first morning we woke up to two elephants walking past our room which was so special.
We then travelled to Zanzibar and had 5 nights in Nungwi, laying by the beach and pool. We then had two nights in Stone Town. Pendo arranged us day trips to the spice markets, ocean safari where we snorkelled in the clearest water and enjoyed a seafood BBQ on the beach and learnt about the history of Zanzibar on a guided walking tour. She also arranged for us a private sunset cruise on a traditional dhow to celebrate our Honeymoon. This was such a special touch.
We absolutely loved our holiday that Tales of Tanzania created for us. If anyone is even considering a safari I would highly recommend you do it. Tanzanian hospitality is the best in the world, we felt so looked after and cared for. I wish we could do it all over again!!
A very memorable experience.
Our Tanzanian safari was a very memorable experience and we highly recommend it. Pendo from Tales of Tanzania was extremely prompt and helpful in planning our itinerary and accomodating our needs. Gilbert ‘Bobby’, our very knowledgeable guide and highly skilled driver, was absolutely fantastic. He was determined for us to see cheetahs and leopards, which we missed on our previous safari in Botswana.
We have recommended that the vehicles be upgraded but aside from that, it was a wonderful safari adventure which we will always remember. We highly recommend!
