Our story

Born at the Foot of Kilimanjaro

Mashimba Tours was founded in Arusha — the gateway to Tanzania's legendary northern safari circuit — with one simple belief: that the people who know this land best are the ones who should share it with the world.

Since 2010 we've guided hundreds of travelers to the summit of Kilimanjaro, across the endless plains of the Serengeti, and down into the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater. Every journey is planned in-house and led by our own team of licensed guides, cooks and porters.

  • 16+ years of guiding experience across Tanzania
  • 4.9/5 average rating from 500+ travelers
  • Fair wages and fair treatment for our entire crew
Since 2010Licensed & based in Arusha, Tanzania
