Tanzania Specialist: Custom Trips for Safaris, Zanzibar, and Kilimanjaro

Tanzania Specialist is a travel agency with a German-language domain that designs customized itineraries in Tanzania. Its trips focus on three main experiences: photo safaris, stays on Zanzibar’s beaches, and climbs up Mount Kilimanjaro. The agency says every trip is fully customized and that quote requests are free and carry no obligation.

Safari Packages and Northern and Southern Circuits

The agency’s catalog combines classic northern routes with trips into the south of the country. Published examples include an 11-day Tanzania and Zanzibar circuit described as its classic itinerary; a 15-day safari and beach trip; a nine-day route centered on the Great Migration and the Mara River crossing; a seven-day safari visiting two of Africa’s seven natural wonders; a 10-day safari through the southern national parks; and a 10-day Zanzibar trip. It also offers a small-group option that visits Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.

Featured destinations include Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Arusha National Park, and Tarangire National Park, as well as the Great Migration.

Climbing Kilimanjaro and Themed Trips

The agency organizes climbs up Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route, which it presents as certified for ethical mountaineering. Beyond safaris and mountain trips, its offerings include honeymoon and family trips, the Diamond Luxury collection, and the small-group departures mentioned above.

The Hakuna Matata Package and Local Operations

All custom trips include the Hakuna Matata package, which the company describes as a set of services designed to provide peace of mind: flexible payment options, help with unexpected issues during a safari, and the option to adjust an itinerary before or during the trip. The agency says it has its own office and an experienced team in Arusha, where it coordinates each part of the trip.

The website features customer testimonials and links to outside reviews. Some travelers describe four-day safaris through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, with quality accommodations and professional guides, alongside comments about itinerary planning and domestic flights. Other reviews praise the travel consultants and guides.

Practical Information and Sustainability

The website gathers trip-planning information, including the best time to visit Tanzania, weather in Zanzibar and the rest of the country, visas, travel insurance, health recommendations such as yellow fever vaccination, Flying Doctors coverage, and travel advisories. It also features the Hakuna Matata Academy and its Travelife partnership for sustainable tourism.
