About us

Rafiki Safari Tours has long set the standard for excellence in wildlife and cultural expeditions and is one of the first outfits to unofficially offer ecotourism-based tours.  Based in Arusha, Tanzania (the “safari capital of East Africa”), we are dedicated to providing global travelers with distinctive, environmentally-friendly excursions into the familiar and not-so-familiar safari parks, villages, mountains, and beaches of Tanzania and Kenya.

East Africa is one of the most ecologically, zoologically, anthropologically, and culturally diverse regions on the African continent. Rafiki Safari Tours strives to combine our deep knowledge of wildlife and culture, with the unmatched splendor of the landscape and history of our continent to provide an unparalleled and unforgettable experience for our guests.

    

“We had a great time in Tanzania. Mount Meru was a spectacular climb, the Ngorongoro Crater unforgettable, and Zanzibar more than relaxing. Being back at work has been quite an adjustment and we often think about what a great time we had!”
