Arusha Has Been Our Home Base for Over 13 Years

For more than 13 years, Abakombe Tours has planned and run Tanzania safaris, Kilimanjaro climbs and Zanzibar beach stays from our office in Arusha. We work with our own guides and private 4x4 vehicles, match each route with tented camps or lodges to suit your style and budget, and take care of every transfer in between. One planner looks after your booking from your first message until your flight home.

Community support around Abakombe Tours' operating area 02
Giving Back Where We Work

Tourism has supported our team for over 13 years, so we share some of it with the villages around us, helping children stay in school and helping families meet medical costs they could not cover alone. On the mountain, safety comes first: our Kilimanjaro guides are Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certified, licensed by Kilimanjaro National Park and fluent in English, and every climb carries pulse oximeters, emergency oxygen and a complete first-aid kit.

We were planning this trek for quite some time and finally it happened with the best operator in the business. The team led by Mr Frank and his assistant Mr Chacha was great in all departments and motivated us to summit Uhuru Peak. Read more

My experience with Abakombe blew me away with how well run it was. Our guides, Frank and Omari, were amazing and so helpful during the hike and at camp. The food was great and there was no shortage of water. Read more
