Destinations

The status of Tanzania safari parks as a primary destination for wildlife explorers has been reflected in the expeditions of The National Geographic, The Discovery, and The Animal Planet. Indeed, Northern Tanzanian parks are fantastic - Serengeti offers unique lion safaris and The Great Migration, Tarangire is famous for its fascinating elephant safaris, and Ngorongoro enjoys the reputation of a place with the highest density of wild animals, Lake Manyara with its flocks of pink flamingos and Mahali and Gombe parks with the largest population of chimpanzees are also must-have pieces to the collection of any avid traveler. Together with many other protected areas along our country, undoubtedly Tanzania is the best place for completing your full African wildlife safaris list.

Chief's Tours is always ready to turn your African dreams into reality. The fusion of technology and traditions of Tanzanian hospitality enables us to suit the fancies of everyone interested in Tanzania. As our tours are fully customizable, our safari company is committed to bringing the best safari experiences to the explorers of Tanzania.

Testimonials

I made an excellent decision by choosing to Climb Kilimanjaro with Chief Tours for the following four reasons:

First, in regards to "social responsibility" and the treatment of the crew (food and lodging), after spending 6 days climbing with Chief Tours, I can testify that Chief Tours meets or exceeds other tour operators.

Second, unlike many of the Kilimanjaro operators, Chief Tours is a Tanzanian company. Therefore, instead of losing a majority of the profit to a head office in Europe, America, or Australia, the profit goes toward developing the local community by way of better wages for Chief Tours employees.

Third, Octait (my guide) was exceptional. He knew all of the short-cuts and ensured that I was well rested and hydrated at all times.

Fourth, every day I was served a wide array of fresh and delicious foods. The foods included: Beef, Fish, Chicken, Mango, Pineapple, Avocado, Cassava, and many more.

I would definitely recommend Chief's Tours!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, CHIEF'S TOURS!

My brother, sister and I came to Tanzania with a goal in mind - to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with very little preparation. We did some research on several companies before our arrival, and as well with a very encouraging recommendation from a friend we decided to go with Chief's Tours.

They were very accommodating in every way; from arrival into the country, persistent contact with the airport when our luggage didn't arrive with us, allowing us to hire any gear we were missing and of course - the impossible feat of getting us to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa! We did the Lemosho route in 7 days/6 nights with another Aussie, our two guides, Nicholas and Mohamed and a team of 12 including a chef, waiter, and porters! We did not expect the hot meals, hot tubs of water to wash, and the incredible porters that rushed to the next campsite to ensure excellent camping spots!! Our families made contact with the company during the trek, and Adidas was kind enough to send regular reports on our progress!

We were so impressed with the company that we decided to do a 4 day/3 night safari with them - Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro crater and conservation area. Our guides, Dhili and Shirima, and our chef Hamisi made this trip very enjoyable and a relaxing change of pace after the trek. We saw all of the Big 5, and were very well fed and hydrated with water and even beers!

No question would go unanswered prior to the trips as Adidas and his team wanted to ensure you are as prepared as you can be. Adidas and his team are very well respected in Moshi town, as they support the local community and look after their employees well! Anyone you talk to in town talks very highly of them! We would happily recommend this company to all our friends and families who are interested in traveling to Tanzania.

Without Chief's Tour Supporting team, it was impossible for me to get to the top of Kilimanjaro. Because it was physically and mentally challenging, everyone tried to take care of me as I was the only women in the group full of big men. From the first moment meeting Adidas and the team in town, I already had a very good impression and feeling about the memorable trip.
Thank you so much, the main guide Msafiri for your nice care as a father to daughter, the assistant guide Heaven for his great patience and encouragement, the chef Jay for his tasty food, the porter Godfrey for saving my life when I got serious altitude sickness, and the other porters for their positivity and energy in spite of their extremely hard job!
The mountain not only brought us an unforgettable experience, it also gave me good friendships and more motivation to come back to Tanzania where I left a big part of my heart.
Travel with Chief's Tours and you'll understand why the company and Adidas himself are well respected by local residents thanks to their contribution to local community. I wish you all the best: best health, best luck and best spirit!

Amazing experience!

We found Chief Tours while researching our Lemosho trek up Kilimanjaro. While training at home, my wife experienced an injury and we were not able to continue with the trek. However, Adidas was kind enough to transfer our deposit to a 5-day safari tour and we are so glad we did! It was an experience of a lifetime. Our driver, Shirima, was incredibly knowledgeable, went above and beyond to show us the best of the parks, and was just a genuinely nice guy! The only thing as wonderful as the safari experience was getting to know Shirima!

The safari itself took us through 4 parks, each unique in their own way. We saw countless animals and seeing them in their natural habitat was surreal. Shirima was able to spot things we couldn't possibly have seen. (Lions, elephants, wildebeest, buffalo, cheetahs, zebra, giraffes, baboons, and we were lucky to see 5 of the hard to spot leopards!)

We were lucky enough to be in the Serengeti as the 'great migration' of wildebeests were taking place! It was amazing to see hundreds of thousands of them stampede together in herds through the plains. Truly amazing nature.

The accommodations were comfortable, clean, safe, and to stay within the Serengeti was an experience in itself with all the amazing sounds you hear at night! The food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was delicious and also plenty of food!

We compared prices for both the trek and safaris with many other tour companies and Chief Tours was always the better price by a significant amount.

Our experience with Chief Tours from beginning to end was a wonderful, professional, safe and inspirational one. We highly recommend Adidas and his team for your trekking or safari needs!

Excellent service and reasonable prices!

I climbed Kilimanjaro with Chiefs Tours after referring to many operators. Everything was excellent. At first, we planned to climb by Marangu route. But Adidas proposed to climb by Rongai route. We agreed and did not regret that. As for me, this route was easier then Marangu and we successfully got the summit.

Our climbing was well-organized. Every time when we came to the next base camp our tents were set and our luggage was inside. We always got warm water for washing and water for drinking. The food was as good as it was possible in the mountains. Adidas and other guides: Washington, Alan, Muhammad supported and motivated us. Without their help, it was impossible to get to the summit. Well done, high-quality service and great corporate culture. I wish all we best to Adidas and his team.

I recommend Chiefs Tours as the company with excellent service and reasonable prices.
