Tanzania Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

Nickson L.

Born and raised in a small village in Moshi, Kilimanjaro -Tanzania. I know much about my people’s culture and history. Living close to major tourism attractions and national parks has made me knowledgeable about nature and surroundings. I lead a team of professional guides for mountain and safari who have got years of experience working with people from all over the world. We are ready to show you the beauty of our country. We warmly welcome you to Tanzania for your lifetime adventure. Karibu sana !

Kevin A.

I’m Tanzanian through and through, with a misplaced affinity for cheesy romance movies (who doesn’t love Titanic!) and Country and Western music (something my friends are forever teasing me about). The first thing you’ll notice about me is that I love meeting new people and making them smile. The second is that I have a deep passion for and knowledge of my home country. If you’re setting foot in Africa for the first time, Tanzania can seem bewildering, daunting, and exotic. But I’m here to settle you in and give you insider knowledge about our language, customs and beliefs. How do you eat ugali with one hand? Everyone learns ‘jambo’ as a greeting, but what words do Tanzanians really use? What do local people do when they believe their personal ‘star’ is no longer shining? Kevin, can you teach me how to moonwalk? (why yes!) You’ll have me on hand to help and advise you before, throughout, and even after your tour – perhaps you’ll even join me on another one of my experiences! After booking your place on my tour, you’ll receive some personal pre-travel advice on Tanzanian etiquette, and a little on the language – starting with; ‘how on earth do you pronounce Ngorongoro?’ A few things you should know about the people of Tanzania: we love to smile, laugh, sing, dance, and have fun (any excuse!) We wear our hearts on our sleeves and form friendships quickly and naturally. In fact, in my native language, Kiswahili, the word ‘mgeni’ meaning ‘foreigner’, is the same as the word for ‘guest’. Here you are not a tourist but a new companion, and that is the feeling I want you to experience as your personal host. Karibu nyumbani! Tanzania welcomes you home!

Mohd K.

Hello and welcome, My name is Mohd, a passionate and licensed local guide from Zanzibar, Tanzania. I was born and raised on this beautiful island, and I have dedicated my career to sharing its rich culture, history, and natural beauty with visitors from all over the world. With several years of experience in the tourism industry, I specialize in creating authentic, personalized experiences that allow you to truly connect with Zanzibar. From walking through the winding streets of Stone Town, exploring the lush Spice Farms, and discovering the rare Red Colobus Monkeys in Jozani Forest, to enjoying breathtaking ocean adventures such as Safari Blue, Prison Island, and Nakupenda Sandbank, I make sure every moment is memorable. My guiding style is friendly, informative, and flexible. I love to answer questions, share hidden stories, and adapt the tour to your interests. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, family, or group, I always aim to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. When you book a tour with me, you are not just seeing the highlights of Zanzibar, you are also supporting the local community, as I work closely with local businesses and community-based tourism initiatives. Karibu Zanzibar, Let me show you the magic of this island and create unforgettable memories together.

Suleiman H.

DISCOVER THE SOUL OF ZANZIBAR WITH A TRUE LOCAL My name is Suleiman, I was born and raised in Zanzibar, the magical spice island. Zanzibar is not just a destination it is a living story book and I can't wait to share its secret with you. With me you will walk through the narrow streets of stone town, the UNESCO world heritage site and bring its history to life. From Sultans' palaces, the brutal history of slave trade and the tales behind the famous carved doors. Please join me to the spice farms to awaken our senses by smelling and testing the spices of Zanzibar. Don't forget the beautiful white sand beaches and marine life adventures. My passion is to show you the real Zanzibar, vibrant culture and welcoming people. Karibu Zanzibar.

“2 Day tour Moshi and Ngorongoro”

This was an absolute perfect tour from the second we were picked up at the airport to the time we were taken back to the airport 3 days later. Our driver was waiting for us upon arrival. Started our first day tour immediately as promised, visiting a Masai village then the Chagga underground in Kibosho. This was very well organized and perfect time was dedicated to explore these two stops. Day 2 we went to Ngorongoro Crater and this was a different planet experience. Our guide was superb! Everything was perfectly timed, smooth and we saw ALL the animals in nature as promised. I cannot recommend Nick and his team enough. This will be the only guide team I'll use in my future trips to the area.

Nickson L.

Dear Adel, We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review! We take pride in knowing our customers are happy with their experience. It was an amazing experience hosting you. Thanks for your support, we really appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you again soon and create more memories ! Karibu sana !
