What matters to us

Local knowledge

Our guides know Tanzania's parks, mountains and wildlife from years in the field, and share that knowledge with every guest.

Your trip, your way

No two travellers are the same. We listen first, then shape the itinerary, pace and accommodation around you.

Safety first

On safari and on the mountain, our guides and crews put your safety and wellbeing before any schedule or summit.

Respect for people and nature

We travel as guests in communities and wild places, and ask our travellers to do the same, so both are still here for the next visitor.

The safari was amazing, and we saw all the Big Five. For me, the best part was seeing the young cheetahs and the three rhinos . This was my third time traveling with Honesha Tours. This time it was during the rainy season, which was quite an adventure. But Dani, our guide, is not only fantastic at spotting animals, but also a superb driver. Honesha Tours is also very flexible when it comes to the itinerary. They can add a day here or a day there. I will definitely book with them again, and I highly recommend Honesha Tours.

Fantastic safari tour! Dear Daniel, thank you so much for the wonderful moments I experienced with you on my safari in Tarangire National Park, in the Ndutu area, getting up close to the wildebeest and zebra herds in the Serengeti, and in the Ngorongoro Crater. Thanks also to Honeshatanzaniatour for the excellent organization; everything went perfectly. I will gladly recommend you to my friends.

Two weeks of an amazing Safaris experience We visited Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and thanks to a very experienced guide were able to see all types of animals, many coming close to our car so that we could take great pictures. Highlights were the thousands of gnus traversing the river in the Serengeti, bigger groups of lions, leopards, cheetahs and elephants. It was an amazing experience that we will never forget. Many thanks to our guide Danny!!

I would visit again and book with Honesha Tours My family and I had an amazing experience touring Serengeti with Honesha Tours. Serengeti national park is truly awe-inspiring, but having a fantastic tour guide made our trip even more enjoyable. Our tour guide was attentive, knowledgeable, considerate, and kind. When we decided to add an unplanned trip to Olduvai Gorge, he quickly adjusted our schedule to make it happen. I highly recommend visiting Serengeti and definitely suggest booking with Honesha Tours.
