A local team in Arusha

We plan and guide safaris, climbs and holidays across Tanzania from our home in Arusha.

our story

Tanzania, shown by people who live here

Honesha Tanzania Tours is a local tour operator based in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's northern parks and to Mount Kilimanjaro. We plan safaris, mountain climbs, cultural visits and beach holidays for travellers from all over the world.

Because we live and work here, we can talk to you honestly about roads, seasons, parks and lodges, and adjust a plan quickly when something changes. We want your trip to feel personal, well organised and true to the country we call home.

Every trip starts with a conversation. Tell us what you would like to see and how you like to travel, and we will build the plan with you.

how we work

What matters to us

Local knowledge

Our guides and planners know Tanzania's parks, mountains and people from years of living here, and share that knowledge openly.

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 put your 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!!

 Verified 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.
