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.

Testimonials

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!

Fantastic country! Amazing people! Perfect trip!

Thanks to Adidas and Chief's Tours, we successfully summit-ted via 6 day Machame route. Chief’s Tours offer a service that is almost identical/dare I say better than that of the larger tour providers which are almost twice the cost.

Food rations were enormous and thanks to our cook were also surprisingly tasty even though we were on a mountain! All of the necessary equipment that we did not possess we provided to us free of charge such as sleeping bags/mats etc.

Our guides were very fun and knowledgeable and had ascended the mountain almost 400 times between them – our lead guide Muhammad boasted one of the highest summit success rates for clients of any guide on the mountain. We were first to reach camp each day so had a lot of time to rest and explore the area.

Following our ascent of Kilimanjaro, we had another few days remaining before we left Tanzania. On a few hours notice, Adidas planned a 2-day safari which ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. As we had booked our trek with Chief's Tours Adidas organized our safari at a ridiculously cheap price (zero profit margin to Chief's Tours) where we visited Tarangire NP and Ngorogoro Crater.

We also visited Kikuwelta Hotsprings which is one of the best swimming spots I have ever been. It is near Moshi but is very difficult to find!

On the last day of the safari (the day before we were due to fly home) I left my main rucksack in the lodge we had stayed in. This was a 4-hour drive from Moshi where we stayed before flying home. Remarkably Adidas was able to return my bag the following day before we departed Tanzania!

As students with smaller budgets, Adidas provided us with great service for a very affordable price. He met with us throughout our time in Tanzania sharing some great stories and laughs while he organized our entire trip.

Can’t recommend Chief’s Tours more strongly!!!

From the first contact onward, the communication went really well. Chief Tours answered all our questions within less than one hour which was excellent as I have booked the tour with them short-notice and still had tons of questions.
We have been warmly welcomed in Moshi at the bus station by the owner and Ceo of Chief Tours, Adidas. He also took immediately care about one of our luggage which went missing in Nairobi.

His Team, especially Julius and Msafiri the two guides have so many experiences with guiding us slowly to the top of the mountain. Both of us made, it thanks to them.
The chef James was providing delicious meals out of his very simple kitchen every day. We could not stop eating and gained actually some weight at the mountain.
The waitress, as well as some porters, taught us some Swahili words which were really great.
If my friends or family would ask me for a recommendation, I definitely would recommend Chief Tours for the Kili hike. They will be in good hands.

Successful and Amazing Kilimanjaro Trip!

We used Chief's Tours to book our Kilimanjaro trip. It was the most AWESOME and AMAZING experience ever!. What a trip!

Adidas and wife Upendo were so good, polite and accommodating. After our experience they arranged us to stay at the Selig Hotel which is only a few minutes from Chief's Tours; transportation to and from the hotel, including the airport. The day we got off the plane we started our hike in the afternoon.

We summited on New Year's day in 2018. We took the Machame route which took us 5 days to reach the top, and a day and a half to reach to the bottom. The guides, Mohammad and Freddy were so so awesome. I truly miss those guys, also need to mention the waiter and cook and the porters. The guides ensured our safety and success to reach the summit and descent. I'm not that fast of a hiker, but they were understanding and set the pace for the climb.

They not only gave us plenty of food for every meal but also brought a lot of snacks, energy bars, and candy, etc. Also after our climb, Chief's Tours arranged us for the Chagga Culture and Coffee, and waterfall tours that are also excellent!

Thank Chief's Tours for everything!

Chief's Tours - Fantastic tour operator to climb Kilimanjaro

Recently myself and three others climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. It was something we had been planning to do for a while and had put a lot of research into. We decided to choose Chief's Tours as during correspondance, Adidas the owner of the company, could not have been more helpful.

I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a reputable local company. Adidas started as a porter on Kilimanjaro and has worked his way up to running his own company. As a local Tanzanian company, owned and managed by Adidas, all the money paid to him stays within Tanzania to the benefit of the local community. When we arrived Adidas picked us up at the bus station and brought us to our hotel. He then invited us to his home where his wife cooked us a delicious dinner, they both really made us feel welcome.

That initial evening with Adidas helped put our mind at ease as we were all a little nervous about the challenge that lay before us. Some of our group came without certain things that were required for the climb and Adidas was able to supply us with all the necessary equipment. Once we got on the mountain the whole team from guides to chefs to porters could not have been more professional.

The guides were very knowledgeable and took all precautions to ensure our safety on the mountain. The porters were all very helpful and kind, while the chef did an outstanding job. We were definitely never hungry or thirsty. Despite varying types of altitude sickness amongst our group, the team ensured that we all reached the summit. We even got to celebrate on top with a bottle of bubbly! While in Tanzania, we knew that we could not go home without doing a safari in the Serengeti.

Chief's Tours also offers a wide range of safaris and other tours so we decided that it made sense to do the climb and safari with the one company. Adidas offered us a fantastic deal yet still delivered a service of the highest quality. Here is the link of the website if you are thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro/doing a safari - http://www.chiefstours.com - I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Adidas and all of your team for making our trip in Tanzania one of a lifetime.
