Exceptional service! This company goes the extra mile!
I would not hesitate to recommend TTC to anyone considering a safari or Kilimanjaro trek in Tanzania. I recently trekked up Kilimanjaro with TTC and their equipment is far superior to other local companies in particular their waterproof luggage bags, comfortable dining tent and portable commode toilet. Their staff were very professional and knowledgeable always going the extra mile to help us when we were tired; such as helping to pack our bags; washing dirty clothes, blowing up mattresses and bringing extra drinks and snacks up the mountain for us. On the summit night all the guides were very attentive to each individual on trek and the local doctor didn't miss a thing - subsequently we all achieved the summit. The tour went without a single hitch and all the small extras were really appreciated. Thank you - we will be using your services again!

Safari & Zanzibar - Once in a lifetime experience
Perfect combination of a little hike at Kili, Safari & Beach Holiday. The tour was totally matching our desires and expectations. Our hike took us to Mandara Hut, where we got small impression of Kili climbing (we should do that next time). On our 5 days Safari trip we went to Tongarire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara NP, where we got close to wildlife enjoying the time with our guide. He told us a lot about the different animals and the life in Tanzania and even tought us swahili.
The second week of our holiday we chilled around Zanzibar Island - 4 days at south coast and 3 days at east cost. in both of the places, we felt like being in paradise. Both of the hotels and beaches exceeded our expectations.
The schedule of the whole trip was tailormade for us. From the enquiry to the final booking, communication was always easy via WhatsApp. Sam was always reachable, also when we arrived on site.
"Thanks to the Team of TTC for that unforgettable trip. We hope, that we can be back soon." It was not only the schedule itself, that made that trip perfect, it was also the people that have taken care about us :-)
If you plan a trip to Tanzania, do it with Tanzania Travel Company.

Tanzanian Travel Company really care
We recently had the pleasure of being looked after by Tanzanian Travel Company whilst in Tanzania. We were originally climbing Kilimanjaro but due to mechanical failure of a prosthetic limb were forced due to safety reasons to leave the climb early. We were then looked after by Sam. Sam to care and attention to his clients to the next level ensuring we were well looked after. He sorted a wonderful 3 day 2 night safari for us were we saw the Big Five including Black Rhino! The mid level lodge pakage l, Country Lodge, we chose was lovely, the accommodation clean comfortable with beautiful details to make our stay memorable. Our safari driver William was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and importantly a good driver! The hotel we were taken to after our Kilimanjaro climb ended was in Arusha the Masailand Hotel and Safari Lodge which is in a beautiful setting overlooking valley and hills. All staff were friendly and helpful. If you are travelling to Tanzania for Safari or any other reason choose an agent who cares about YOU, as Sam from Tanzanian Travel Company does. He personally helped one of our party who became ill on the mountain taking us to a hospital clinic and staying to help with any language barriers. I cannot rate Sam highly enough!

Superb and compassionate
Communications and service could not have been better. We felt humbly well looked after as I’m sure did the animals who were respected. Godfrey was thoughtful, intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and respectful of the environment and the wildlife he was seeking for us. Nothing was too much trouble including a horrible early 3am pick up to the airport. He was fun to be with and the tour flexible and changed according to our and environmental needs. This completely surpassed every expectation.

Excellent experience with TTC!
Setting out to climb Mt Kilimanjaro was quite a challenge and the team at TTC made it a safe and enjoyable trip! They did an excellent job guiding us through each day of the climb. I also had the opportunity to go on a safari afterwards with a guide named Livingston and he did an absolutely fantastic job getting us close to the animals and knowing the best spots in the game drives. Highly recommend this incredible travel group!

Kilimanjaro Climb - excellent support from the moment we arrived at the airport until we left.
The whole team where incredible, catering g to our every need on the mountain. As a group with disabilities we were not sure about how long each day would take. The team leader Richard monitored our progress and adapted each days programme to suit our needs. The whole team were amazing, supporting us as individuals and as a group. Ot was a challenging trek, but with the support of the Tanzanian Travel Company we were able to fulfil our dream of summiting Kilimanjaro. Excellent care was taken of the team members who needed to leave the mountain early.

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.
