Excellent service, efficient crew, good food!
I went to Rift Valley trek in Oct. 2018. My flight was down graded due to over booking so instead of ADD to JRO, I was routed via Nairobi. The flight was going to reach almost midnight. Sam organized a hotel to stay over night and managed a taxi for me that dropped me off at the hotel and next day took me to our base camp. During trek also the entire crew was very helpful, excellent management of organizing food, tent, shower and toilet arrangements. I even recommended my family to take Serengeti trip as a family reunion trip with this company which is under consideration :-)

A challenging hike made easier with the food, logistics and general support by Sam and his team
The rift valley trek was very memorable. The daily briefings helped us to prepared physically (what to pack) and mentally (what to expect). Some very pleasant after trek surprises made it all the more memorable.

Locally based with a trusted tour operator with over 17 years of experience.
Simply remarkable. Trustworthy. Fluent in English. Experienced crew gracefully lead by Sam Diah who surpassed my expectations during our 5 day walk in the Rift Valley from Longido to Sunken Crater. A must and an extraordinary way to discover Maasai culture.
There were 17 of us from Canada in the group supported by 17 wonderful Tanzanians who catered to us impeccably.
The food was plentiful and delicious, the camping in the provided tents, foam mattress and bedding was comfortable, the warm showers after our daily hikes were delightful, the route through the Maasai villages was memorable and the pace was just right.
Our head guide was Philomen, a local Maasai who knew were to take us. He would spot the hidden wildlife, we even met his family and friends along the way. While quiet at times, he did not shy from sharing his way of life. He even helped me fetch “52 cows” if I was to marry! This is part of their traditions to offer cows to parents of the potential bride.
I also continued on with Tanzania Travel Company on a three-day safari to Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. Our guide was Godfrey who is an excellent driver with hawk eyes. He would spot the far away rhinoceros and wait till we had our fill before moving on to the next viewing spot. Fan of the lions (they are after all, as he says “king of the jungle”) we got close up to them during our daily drives through the parks. Such fun!
I hear Tanzania Travel Company is extremely well known for taking trekkers up the Kilimanjaro. Perhaps that will be my next trip with them. Ask for Richard as a guide. He’s climbed up the mountain with groups over 100 times. He would be someone I would trust considering his experience.
Get in touch with Sam Diah for your holidays in Tanzania - from treks to hike to safaris to accommodation to internal flights, he will be happy to help you make your trip the most memorable. Fluent in English. You’ll be glad you booked your trip with him.
Thanks Sam and the crew!

Kilimanjaro Summit Trek - Lemosho Route
A huge thank you to all the guides, porters, cooks and drivers at Tanzania Tour Company who made our Kilimanjaro Trek so special. We were a large group of 18 who completed the trek for charity this June. We felt very cared for and well looked after by the team and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else thinking of doing this hike. An unforgettable experience, many thanks to all the family at TTC.

Mt Kilimanjaro Trek - Lemosho Route
I recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro with the most fantastic group of people however this would not have been possible without the excellent support of Tanzania Travel Company and the amazing guides and porters. Everything we needed was provided and nothing was any trouble. Richard our leader kept our spirits up and kept us motivated from bottom to top. I would recommend using TTC.

Footsteps of the Masai Trek
Excellent trek with Sam and his team, very well looked after, food delicious, tents very comfortable. We even had a shower rigged up in a couple of camps which was great after a hard days trekking. Sam was very knowledgeable about the areas we trekked in and was able to keep us well informed. I felt very safe being out in the bush with Sam and his team and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Excellent travel package to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater. Best accommodations and services.
Tanzania Travel Company was able to arrange a two night stay for me and my son. Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater was obvious for me because I have been there before, but the accommodations were beyond my expectations! Endoro lodge was excellent place which I would recommend for couples. Acacia Farm lodge sealed the deal as one of the best place for family , couples too!
We had an excellent tour guide arranged by Tanzania Travel Company. The guy simply knows every creature that lives in the crater, I will go again soon!

Trip of a Lifetime across Tanzania!
Thanks to Sam and his team at Tanzania Travel Company we had a trek of a lifetime and an experience I will never forget. Challenging walking, matched with awesome experiences and wildlife - Sam and his team knew how to organise everything to ensure it was perfect. The little touches, the fun times we had in camp and the knowledge of his guides meant we had such a special experience. I am already planning with Sam a week in which I can return to this amazing and beautiful country with them.

A truly special trip with exceptional service and care from TTC.
I have just returned from a trek with Tanzania Travel Company. Starting at the foothills of Mount Longido, a sacred Maasai mountain, our group of 12 trekked across the floor of the Great Rift Valley right to the foothills of the visually stunning Crater Highlands. We walked in the footsteps of ancient Maasai warriors covering a total of 74km in just 4 days. Sam, William and Clement from Tanzania Travel Company were with us every step of the way, keeping us on our feet and moving forward, and teaching us about their beautiful country and its history.
The scenery was breathtaking and the landscape was scattered with Maasai bomas and the people who live in them. We were privileged to meet some of the locals along the way and experience a Maasia market in Kitumbeine. We were constantly surprised by what we saw, I remember leaving camp at sunrise on the second morning and after less than a mile we were face to face with a family of giraffe enjoying breakfast.
We were camping for 5 nights in the wild African bush, but the team at Tanzania Travel Company looked after us so well that we felt at complete comfort and ease from the moment we arrived and every moment of the trip was pure luxury. We were treated to tea and coffee in our tent upon waking in the morning and returned to the camp each day to an ice cold foot bath a warm bush shower. The food was exceptional from African stew to meatballs or Cajun chicken. The chef, Antony cooked an impressive variety and even home baked bread in a hand built underground oven.
When our physical challenge was over we spent a day on a Safari drive at the Ngorongoro Crater, its plains are filled with wildlife and we were spoiled with sightings of lions, hippos and zebra to name a few.
This trip was a truly special one, not only for the scenery, wildlife and interaction with ancient maasai communities, but for the friends we made at Tanzania Travel Company. Every single member of the team went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable and memorable. Tanzania and all of the team at Tanzania Travel Company will have a special place in our hearts, until we return again.
If you’re thinking about visiting Tanzania don’t think about it any longer, book a trip with Tanzania Travel Company. It will be the trip of a lifetime.
