Abakombe Tours is an Arusha-based Tanzanian outfitter built around wildlife safaris and Kilimanjaro treks, with Zanzibar escapes for travelers who want a beach finish. We plan adventure safaris, cultural excursions, Mount Kilimanjaro climbs on every major route, and island holidays, pairing each trip with a private 4x4 and either a mobile tented camp or a proper lodge stay depending on what you're after. Expect a route built around your pace, English-speaking guides, and transfers that just happen rather than needing to be chased. Whether you're picturing a Tanzania safari, a Kilimanjaro climb, or a few slow days on Zanzibar, the people answering your first email are the same people running your trip on the ground.
02
We care about the communities we work in, and we try to give back where we can — supporting access to education for local children, and helping with medical costs for families who can't otherwise afford care. We provide active support in the communities within the areas where we operate. We take trekker safety just as seriously: every guide is Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certified, licensed by Kilimanjaro National Park, highly experienced on the mountain, and fluent in English. We carry proper safety equipment on every climb, including pulse oximeters, emergency oxygen, and full first aid kits.

Nothing here starts as a fixed package — every trip begins as a blank itinerary shaped by your dates, your pace, and what you actually want to see. Get in touch and tell us what you have in mind.
We're a genuine, on-the-ground operator in Tanzania — not an anonymous booking site reselling someone else's itinerary.

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
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 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
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 more
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 more
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 more
We keep our operation deliberately small — guides who know these parks personally, vehicles we maintain ourselves, and itineraries built one traveler at a time instead of pulled from a catalogue. It costs us scale. It's why people come back.
Some of this is worth seeing in detail before you pick dates — the parks themselves, what past travelers said, and the kind of camp or lodge you'd actually be sleeping in. Have a look around first.
