Based in Moshi at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, African Traces Company Ltd is a fully licensed, locally owned and operated tour operator. We specialize in bespoke wildlife safaris across Tanzania’s Northern and Southern circuits, high-altitude Mount Kilimanjaro treks, cultural immersions, and beach getaways to Zanzibar.
Founded with a passion for preserving East Africa’s wilderness and sharing its rich traditions, our company bridges the gap between raw adventure and comfortable travel. By eliminating international intermediaries, we guarantee direct local prices while offering an unmatched depth of regional knowledge.
We don't just book trips; we craft life-changing African experiences built on safety, authenticity, and extraordinary service.
A safari is only as good as your guide. Our safari driver-guides are native Tanzanians who grew up alongside these landscapes. With decades of combined experience, fluent English, and deep knowledge of animal behavior, tracking techniques, flora, and birdlife, they transform an ordinary game drive into an educational journey.
Every traveler is unique. Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple on a honeymoon, a family traveling with young children, or wildlife photography enthusiasts, we design personalized itineraries that fit your exact schedule, budget, and accommodation preference—from luxury lodges to authentic mobile tented camps.
Comfort and safety on rough terrain are essential. We operate our own fleet of custom-fitted 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers equipped with pop-up roofs for 360-degree panoramic wildlife viewing, guaranteed window seats for every guest, fridge/cooler boxes for cold drinks, charging sockets, and long-range HF radios.
We are committed to preserving Tanzania’s natural heritage and supporting our local communities. We prioritize eco-friendly accommodations, practice strict leave-no-trace wilderness guidelines, and pay fair living wages to all our guides, porters, and office staff. When you travel with us, your tourism directly supports local families and wildlife conservation.
Booking directly with a local operator based in Moshi eliminates third-party commissions. We pride ourselves on transparent, competitive pricing. What we quote includes park fees, transit fees, accommodation, meals, vehicle use, and driver-guide fees—ensuring zero unexpected surprises during your holiday.
