This is love at first sight😍

There is something majestic, mythical, magical and quite humbling about Mount Kilimanjaro. And anyone who dares to try and "conquer" her will instead find themselves conquered...and tested and battered and pushed to the edge and finally, transformed. ✨️

You will LOVE her for it....and she  will love you back. She will embed herself in your heart, your dreams, your memories.

And one day you will look fondly at your time on Mt. Kilimanjaro and say "Remember when...I dared to dream that the impossible was possible" - and then you made it so.

Come fall in with us on the top of the tallest mountain on the continent, the ceiling of Africa! This is a love story like no other. ❤️❤️❤️

📸 Some of our favorite Pamoja love stories, although we do love them all. 😊

We're here to answer any questions you have about trekking to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro and how we can make YOUR impossible dream possible. Send us a quick message to get started.

Cheetahs doin' what cheetahs do...and we are so here for it! They are endlessly curious about us, and what's going on around them. They can't help but jump up on top of our trucks to check it all out!

And while of course cheetahs are still wild animals, they are pretty chill and not much of a danger to us. Don't stick your hand out them pet 'em by any means but do grab your camera and snap away. 📸📱 This is the CLOSEST CLOSEST you are ever gonna to be to these curious cats!

Ready to see one of the largest elephant population in all of Tanzania? Welcome to Tarangire National Park!🐘🐘🐘

And yes, while the Serengeti often gets top billing on most safari drives, Tarangire is not to be missed especially if you LOVE the elephants like we do! 😍

Tarangire Park covers approximately 2,850 square kilometers, and is home to an impressive elephant population that stands out as one of the park's most iconic and cherished features!

The park’s landscape, from swamps and floodplains to the Tarangire River and its surrounding woodlands, provides a perfect habitat for these gentle giants. The elephants here are known for their impressive size and large herds, often numbering in the hundreds.

One of the unique aspects of the Tarangire elephant population is their seasonal migration patterns. During the dry season, from June to October, elephants are drawn to the park in large numbers by the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. This river becomes a lifeline, attracting not only elephants but a myriad of other wildlife as well.🦌🦓🦒

As the wet season begins, they head into the surrounding areas, following ancient migratory routes in search of fresh pastures. And our guides know the spots to find them either frolicking on the banks of the river or hanging out in the bush.

Tarangire National Park is an important stop on a Pamoja Safaris itinerary because it gives our guests a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness majesty of elephants roaming free in their natural habitat.🌿🐘

Plan your adventure with Pamjoa Safaris and experience the wonder of Tarangire’s elephant population firsthand!

Peaceful coexistence is the key to survival here in the Serengeti!🔑 Species living together allows them to take advantage of safety in numbers....predators are in abundance on the plains. 🦁🐆

Zebras and gazelles hang out inside the herd of wildebeests in the Great Migration. Watering holes are a welcoming space for all thristy beasts. Gentle giraffes and zebras are friends with all! Water birds and buffalos seem to be besties more often than not.

We especially love seeing warthogs, gazelles, zebras, giraffes and a bird in flight all sharing the same oasis, snacking on some greens without a care in the world!

Mother Nature is phenomenal in action! 😍 Want to see more of what she has to offer?

Just who is peeping at who here!?!👀🦁

Truth is they like watching us just as much as we like watching them. And their vantage point is a great place to keep a look out for us & laze away the day with a nap or two.

Did you know: Lions in Africa sleep for about 16 to 20 hours a day.⏰️

Mostly to converse energy - it takes a lot to be a lion and lion mama too! Also, sleeping during the day helps lions avoid the heat and reduces the risk of overheating. And lastly, they primarily hunt in the cool mornings and evenings...the rest of the day is sort of like a food coma for them. 🥱😴

For wildlife photographers, this lazy lion down time is a perfect opportunity to capture the other side of their true feline essence - R&R, rest and relaxation. Watching these sleeping beauties from afar is still just as mesmerizing!

These are the moments to bring out that telephoto lens & snap away at all their incredible features - eyes, ears, whiskers, fur, teeth...that nose!😍 Up close and personal, a photographers' dream!

Our guides are best in Tanzania if we do say so ourselves, so if peeping lions (and zebras, leopards, rhinos, and elephants) is what you're after, drop us a DM and let's make it a reality!

✨️👀SPOTTED! The most elusive of the Big 5 Safari animals - the black rhino - in the heart of the Ngorongoro Crater with her juvenile calf in tow! 🦏🦏

A rare and awe inspiring sight indeed considering these magnificent creatures are critically endangered and suffer from low birth rates at the same time. Can’t help but cheer whenever we see a mama rhino & her baby! 🙌😍

🇹🇿 Tanzania is fortunate to host both black and white rhinos, with the black rhino being native to this region. Their population sadly has been devastated by poaching and habitat loss due to agriculture and human settlement. Despite international bans, the poaching crisis continues, fueled by the high value of rhino horns in certain markets.🚫

White rhinos, although not originally from Tanzania, have been reintroduced through dedicated conservation efforts. Our national parks, like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, are at the forefront of these survival efforts with anti-poaching initiatives, habitat restoration, and relocation programs.❤️🦏

At Pamoja Safaris, we're deeply committed to supporting these conservation efforts and spreading awareness about the plight of these beautiful animals.🤝

Join us for an unforgettable journey through Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes, where you can witness the resilience and beauty of wildlife up close! Together, we can make a difference and help protect all the animals for future generations.🌍

Tanzania Travel & Tourism Facts! Did you know...

Tanzania, accessible visa-free to citizens of 46 countries, stands as an emblem of vast natural beauty and cultural richness in East Africa.

We are more than wildlife! If you're joining us on a safari with Pamoja Safaris, get ready for an incredible adventure beyond just the animals! (I know, how is that even possible!?)

One of the highlights of your journey could be meeting the fascinating and colorful Kuria people of Tanzania. We take great pride in sharing not just the natural wonders of this country but also introducing guests to her beautiful people.

❤️🇹🇿🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Meet the Kuria Tribe! Nestled in the stunning landscapes of the Mara region, the Kuria are known for their rich culture and vibrant traditions. You’ll find them to be warm and welcoming, quick to smile and eager to share their way of life with our curious guests.

From their intricate beadwork and colorful clothing to their unique dances and music, every aspect of Kuria culture tells a story of deep heritage and community!

Don’t miss the chance to engage with the Kuria people, learn about their customs, and perhaps even participate in some of their traditional activities. It's a wonderful way to enrich your safari experience and gain a deeper understanding of Tanzania's diverse tapestry.

Join us at Pamoja Safaris for not just a journey through the wild, but also an unforgettable cultural experience!

🦁 We're on BABY WATCH over here at Pamoja Safaris!🦁

FUN FACTS:👇

African lions can mate at any time of the year, but in the wild, MOST mating occurs between March and June. And because a lioness pregnancy lasts between 100 and 119 days, that means we are due to see sweet bundles of lion cubs popping up all over the Serengeti!😍

Lionesses can give birth to a litter of one to six cubs, but usually two or three. Females in a pride often give birth around the same time, and the offspring are raised in crèches with females helping to raise multiple litters together. A female normally gives birth every 18–26 months, but if an entire litter is lost, she may mate again within a few days. 

We LOVE every season in Tanzania (yes, even the rainy one) but baby birthing season is always a favorite for obvious reasons! ☺️

Want to see the babes up close and personal? They are most frolicky and fun at 5 or 6 months which is the PERFECT time for our safari season. Drop us a quick DM and let's chat about your dream vacation!🙌

Sharing the culture and beauty of the communities in Tanzania is just as important as sharing the awe inspiring wildlife! Take a quick read about a time honored rite of passage for the Maasai Tribe.

In June, thousands of Maasai gathered in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania to celebrate Enkipaata, the first of three rites of passage every Maasai man must go through. Photographer MR, who asked to remain anonymous, was given rare access to the ceremony

A cheetah in action, in her natural habitat - we can NEVER get enough! No matter how many times we've caught a big cat jumping from the trees, chasing a snack, lounging in the sun, teaching the youngsters, it is still awe inspiring.😍

Every. Single. Time. 👏👏

We are fortunate to experience the magic of the natural world here in Tanzania, day in and day out. And our invitation is for you to come experience it with us!

Ready for your WOW factor?

27/06/2024

A room with a view. Don't mind if I do! ✨️😊 We may be deep in the heart of the Serengeti but that doesn't mean we have to forego luxury and comfort.😍

We pride ourselves in working with top-notch, locally run accommodations...the height of "ahhhhh" for your bucketlist, dream vacation. Great for the community, perfect unique experience for you!

Imagine waking up here to the natural sounds of the African plains! 🦁🐘🦬 Drop us a line and let us show you what else we have to offer.🏕

What would you do if you came across this in the middle of the road or rather it came across you? ? 🐘🐘🛑

Naturally, animals always have the right of way in EVERY situation. Full stop. BUT it also gives our guests and guides as better chance to get up close and personal with wildlife that crosses our path.

Worried about those "charging bull" videos you see all over social media?

We get it but honestly, not to worry! Our guides have years of education and training to #1 to know what NOT to do to anger or upset an animal and #2 manage any type of situation with quickness and ease!

No scary charging bull vidoes with Pamoja Safaris! Respect, patience, calm and with Serengeti smarts - this is how we approach every adventure on the plains.

PS Elephants really are gentle giants. Come see for yourself!

They know the dangers...yet they forge ahead anyway, ignoring the crocs, lions, hyenas, cheetahs that lurk around the edges of The Great Migration just waiting for their chance to pounce! 🦁🦬🐊

Mother Nature isn't alway pretty but there is always a reason. For these million + wildebeests and friends, the call for fresh food, water, and reproduction is impossible to resist. And so they go and go and go!

Having witnessed this phenomenon up close and personal for over ten plus years as Safari guides, we can 100% guarantee that this is a must not miss experience!

Drop us a quick DM and let's chat about your Great Migration Safari.🛺🐆🐘🦒🦩🦬

29/05/2024

Welp...how often do you go home with a photo like this?? Definitely scroll stopping AND heart stopping too!

Thankfully our expert guides are there to reassure guests...this cheetah is just hanging out for the view, maybe a lil mid-day rest, and probably more scared of you than you are of him. 😬

But what an unforgettable moment to be THIS up close and personal with one of the famous Big Cats of the Serengeti (although not the biggest 😉!!)

What would YOU do if you came face to face with a cheetah like this?

🏔🚨Like a siren, she calls to us from above, wondering when we will come visit her. Mt. Kilimanjaro.... we gaze up at her beauty and dream of the next time we will reach her dizzying summit.

The climb is a spiritual journey, there can be great peace and solace found in the experience. She begs for us to pull from our deepest depths of will and strength, and challenges us to become better than we were before we met her.

Our hearts beat for her and cannot wait to see her again.❤️

Round out your Pamoja Safari experience with a Mt. Kilimanjaro trek and come to love (and fear) her as much as we do!🏔

23/05/2024

Captured this lil' date and cat nap between a lion king and his queen! These two love birds "flirting" was so fun to witness in the wild. ❤️🐦 With the reputation of the fiercest predators on the plains, these sweet moments remind us of how complex and dynamic Mother Nature really is!

Watching wildlife in their natural habitat doing natural things, nothing makes us happier! We can't wait to share it with you.🥰🦁

The colors found on the African plains never cease to amaze us! This brilliant Agama lizard stikes a perfect pose for the camera.📸 We don't always happen upon such wildlife on our Serengeti Safaris but when we do, it is always such a treat!🦎

Wildlife is what we do, what we love and what we want to share with you! Check out the itineraries we have available on our website for your bucketlist African safari dream.

Caption this!! We have elephants on the logo for a reason.

Simply...we love them and they are so symbolic of the resilience and endurance of wildlife on the African plains.
🐘🐘🐘

There is something so special about seeing them in their natural environment, doing their elephant thing. Sharing these moments with them while on safari certainly changes us as people as well as our priorities.

Come see the mighty elephants with us! And drop your caption below.

09/05/2024

You never know where they may be hiding!! 👀🦁

Big Cats always get top billing on our safari adventures but make no mistake, while they may look cute and cuddly, there is a reason they are the most feared predator on the plains!

Community connection, conservation and collaboration - the most important things we do as a company. And all this we strive to bring to our guests during every safari adventure!

We deeply believe that peace in the world begins with exposure other cultures, peoples, ways of life. And through mutual understanding and respect, we come to realize that we are much more the same than we are different.

Pamoja Safari has been given unique and sacred opportunities to visit many of the traditional tribes in the region. The Hadza is the last hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania who still use traditional methods for hunting game. The Maasai known for their unique customs and culture, are semi nomadic herders of goats and cattle.

Interested is cross cultural understanding and connection? It doesn't get any more real, up close and personal than this!

Ethical and sustainable travel is at the heart of everything we do, from the non-profits we support, the communities we engage with, the environmental awareness we bring to our guests experience, to our care and love of Tanzania, her land and the animals.

Co-founder and Owner Scott Brills had an opportunity to sit down with the Travelpreneur Postcast to discuss how we create ethical safari experiences in Tanzania and use our unique position to give back to the community that gives us so much!

You can listen to the full podcast over on Travel Payments webpage...a must not miss insight into a different side of adventure travel!

I see you too 🦁👑 and I'm keeping an eye on you, he says as a Pamoja Safaris truck rumbles by.

Guests spotting wildlife during our daily safari excursions is always thrilling especially when we come across male lions hanging out high above the road!

Definitely giving off a Lion King song vibe!🎶

Lions like to find high spots to sun themselves, take a good nap and view the surround area for lunch or danger. It is definitely a thing and it makes sense to them and their pride safe! Mother Nature is both smart and crafty.
