Tanzania Beyond Safari and Zanzibar: What Most Travellers Miss

When travellers first reach out to us, we often hear the same thing: “We’d love to do a safari, and then maybe relax on the beach in Zanzibar.” And don’t get us wrong — that’s a great plan. Safari and Zanzibar are iconic for a reason. But Tanzania has so much more to offer than the "classic combo" of game drives and turquoise water.

Some of our most memorable moments came from things we hadn’t expected: wandering through Bagamoyo’s historic alleys by the ocean, sharing stories with Maasai elders around a fire, picking spices in a rural garden near Tanga, or hiking through lush mountains that aren’t Kilimanjaro. From cultural workshops to local coffee-making, rooftop dinners in Stone Town, or scenic treks in the Usambara Mountains — the richness of Tanzania lives in its variety.

That’s why we offer more than just safaris. On our services page, you’ll find local experiences, historical routes, coastline escapes, and lesser-known hikes that take you far beyond the expected. Whether you’re into waterfalls, ancient trade routes, traditional cooking, or quiet beaches no one talks about — it’s all here.

Safari may be where many trips start. But for us — the soul of Tanzania is in the places in between.
