01
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.
02
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.
03
Our itineraries are starting points, not fixed packages. Tell us when you can travel, how quickly you like to move and what matters most to you, whether that is the migration, a summit or a quiet beach, and we will rework the route until it fits. Just send us a message to begin.
Abakombe is a registered tour operator based in Arusha. The team that plans your trip is the same team that runs it on the ground.

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 the full review
We had an amazing experience with Abakombe! The team was so accommodating when we wanted to change our plan, and put clients first in every aspect. Omari and Frank were our guides, and they were SO great! Read the full review
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 the full review
We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Abakombe. It was an unforgettable experience thanks to our guides, Frank and Jonas, who brought us a lot of knowledge about the mountain and gave great importance to our safety. Read the full review
We had an excellent experience - the guides and porters of Abakombe are total professionals. We climbed the Machame Route over seven days and also did a two-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. Read the full review
We absolutely loved the Abakombe team, from day 1 to the very end. A special shoutout to our guide Frank and his fellow guide Akre - immensely helpful in realizing our dream to reach the top of Africa. Read the full review
The Abakombe Difference
13+ years of experience, still personalAfter more than 13 years in the industry, we have kept our team small on purpose. Our guides know the parks and the mountain first-hand, we look after our own vehicles, and every itinerary is put together for one group of travelers instead of being copied from a brochure.
