We are located in Moshi, the capital of the Kilimanjaro Region

of Tanzania. As a consequence of our beautiful location at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain and only 3 hours from the Northern Tanzania safari circuit, we are ideally positioned to offer you excellent service to the main attractions of Northern Tanzania as well as off the beaten track cultural, trekking and biking experiences away from the tourist madhouse that is Arusha.

Up-close photos like this truly capture the spirit of a game drive!

Some animals can be easily spotted with the naked eye, while others need to be observed from afar.

But there’s no need to worry!

Our guides are equipped with high-quality binoculars, ensuring you don’t miss a moment of wildlife in their natural habitat 🐆.

Can you hear the sizzling sounds of this mouthwatering goat bbq? 🔥🔥🔥

Karibu to a new week!
Let’s embrace it with the same joy and energy as this elephant 😄🐘

Check out this massive fig tree!

It can be found in Arusha National Park and has become a landmark for many travelers.

The arch of this tree is large enough for a car or even an elephant to pass through!

This uniquely shaped tree is known as a parasitic fig. During its formation, birds that fed on the original tree dropped seeds, allowing the fig to grow and create this impressive arch strangling the original tree.

In Tanzania, fig trees hold significant medicinal importance. The leaf extract from the fig is used to treat conditions like high blood pressure, rheumatism, and digestive issues.

So, next time you’re around Arusha, make sure to stop by and admire this remarkable tree 🌳🤩

Imagine yourself in the heart of nature, surrounded by the serenity of a silent, starry night 🌌…
At Lake Natron, the world slows down, offering a moment of pure relaxation.

Close your eyes and listen: the soft chirping of crickets from nearby bushes, the distant calls of wildlife moving through the night, and the occasional rustle of leaves carried by a gentle breeze.
Above, a sky full of stars stretches endlessly, untouched and awe-inspiring.

After a day of exploring, there’s nothing more soothing than this perfect harmony of sights and sounds. Here, you’re reminded of the beauty of simplicity and the quiet rhythm of the natural world…

What an incredible encounter! If you ever spot a ghost slug during your travels, consider yourself lucky 🤩.

These elusive creatures spend most of their lives underground, emerging only at night.
Unlike most slugs, ghost slugs are carnivorous, preying on earthworms with their sharp teeth.
They were officially described in 2008, they even earned a spot on the prestigious „Top 10 New Species” list that year.

Interestingly, ghost slugs are not native to Tanzania. However, one was recently spotted in northern Tanzania- possibly introduced from another country.

So, pack your curiosity- and a good flashlight- but always tread lightly in this stunning corner of the world 🌍!

Thank you Ben Sander for this photo 📸

Buckle up! Another week is right around the corner🤩 A perfect opportunity to start planning your next Tanzanian journey 🇹🇿

Day 2 of the Kilimanjaro climb 🗻

Do you see these smiles? 😄

These climbers have reached Shira Camp, the first stop where altitude sickness might kick in, but the views of Kilimanjaro Valley make it all worth it!

Shira Camp is split into Camp 1 (West) and Camp 2 (East)- Lemosho route climbers stop at Camp 1, while longer routes head to Camp 2.

Our climbers followed the Machame Route- hence the happy picture at the Machame Gate 😍

Check out these wonderful colors!

The lilac-breasted roller is a small bird commonly found in the savannah ecosystems of Africa.

Despite their size, these birds excel at spotting prey from perches in bushes or trees. They primarily feed on grasshoppers, beetles, and even small amphibians.

With their remarkable flight technique, the lilac-breasted rollers can roll gracefully in the air- hence their name!

Next time you’re on a safari, keep an eye out for these stunning birds and listen carefully; they often make a loud, harsh call that sounds like ‚zaaak’ or ‚gwaak’.

Tanzanian streets are always full of life. Sprinting bajajis, people walking by dressed in vibrant colours and selling an array of goods and food on the roadside, cars passing steaming through. It may seem busy, but it captures the true spirit of Tanzania.

Among all the transport options, there is one that truely keeps the streets busy, the boda boda. This is what we call a motorcycle taxi, and there are plenty of them on the streets!

Boda bodas are a cheaper and much faster transport option, one that does not get stuck in traffic; they weave through cars and keep moving. Need a ride? Just wave at a passing boda boda and hop on! 🛵

Whist they have their advantages, the rise in these motorcycle taxis has led to an increase in road accidents and injuries. Safety is a concern as more people rely on boda bodas, and it’s a reminder that while they’re convenient, road safety must be a priority for both riders and passengers.

Boda bodas are more than just a fast ride—they are part of the heartbeat of East African cities. They offer job opportunities for young people and keep the streets alive 💚🛵

While Tanzania may not always bask in the sunshine, the rainy seasons offer their own unique wonders to explore.

Currently, we’re enjoying the dry season, which serves pleasant temperatures ranging from 22°C (72°F) to 29°C (84°F). This is the perfect time for exploring Tanzania’s diverse landscapes and wildlife, as the weather is ideal for outdoor adventures and game viewing.

Tanzania experiences two distinct rainy seasons: ‚Masika,’ which lasts from March to May and brings heavy rains, and ‚Vuli,’ a shorter period from November to January.

Embrace the diverse experiences Tanzania has to offer year-round!

Unfortunately, moments like this one also happen in nature.
This week we received an information from our guide Lemra, that a small giraffe passed away near in Lake Natron.
A group of older giraffes rushed to help, however it was already too late…
The circle of life wouldn’t be complete without death- it’s a natural occurrence- and whether it’s caused by predators or disease- it allows for ecosystems to thrive.

In our previous post, we introduced Lulu – a new mountain guide on our team who has always dreamt of guiding travelers through the wonders of Tanzania. Today, we want to shine a light on her major achievement. With the support of sponsors from WHOA Travel and LEKI USA, Lulu is now a certified #WildernessFirstResponder. The course aims to teach guides and trip leaders the skills required to respond to emergency situations in remote locations, such as in the mountains. A certified WFR knows how to handle emergencies when working in the wild and how to evacuate from rough terrain. Lulu is now capable of conducting a thorough physical exam, obtaining a patient history, assessing vital signs, providing emergency care in the wilderness, and making crucial evacuation decisions. Being a female guide with a WFR certificate in Tanzania is a milestone in achieving gender equality. Lulu, we're proud of your achievement and hope that your success will inspire other women! #tanzaniajourneys #sustainabletravel #mountainguide #femaleguide #inspiringjourney #WomenInWilderness #tanzaniaadventure

Materuni Waterfall is a picturesque attraction located just 45 minutes by car from Moshi. It is the highest waterfall on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, reaching over 150 meters. The waterfall is a perfect place to unwind, de-stress, and relax after a challenging day. It creates a tranquil atmosphere and makes you fall in love with its environment 💙.The area around Materuni Waterfall is known to be a settlement for the Chagga people. The Chagga (known as Wachaga in Kiswahili) is an ethnic group residing in the Kilimanjaro region. They are known to be one of the most financially successful ethnic groups in all of Tanzania, primarily due to their masterful agricultural methods and the fertile soils around Kilimanjaro. #tanzaniajourneys #sustainabletravel #responsibletravel #materuniwaterfall #materuni #natureescape #chagga #chaggastories #exploretanzania #outdoorgetaway

How incredible it is to experience the Great Wildebeest Migration yourself?This occurence happens every year at the end of the rainy season. It is said that over 1.5 million wildebeest migrate each year crossing the Mara River to get to Kenya. 🔊Sound up to hear our guide Rama explain this phenomenon 🔊 #tanzaniajourneys #tanzania_journeys #responsibletravel #ecotravel #sustainabletravel #safariholidays #safari #wilderness #wildebeest #migration #thegreatmigration #wildlife #africa #tanzania #eastafrica #familyholiday #animals #serengeti #serengetinationalpark #tanzaniawonders #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #tanzaniantourism

These little guys may not be why an African safari is on your wishlist. But you do not see them often and we want to give them credit. These two brave dung beetles, also called rollers, are working hard rolling a little ball of dung that can weigh up to 50 times their own body weight. Then they will roll it away and bury them to be used as brood chambers or food. Impressive right? 📍@tarangire_national_park #africasafari #nationalparks #tanzaniajourneys #safaritravel #tanzania_journeys #naturelover #hardwork #hardworker #beetle #dungbeetle
