KILIMANJARO CLIMBING
Mount Kilimanjaro, a majestic peak standing alone in northeastern Tanzania, used to be an active volcano. Now dormant, it’s the highest freestanding mountain in the world, inviting adventurers from everywhere. This towering giant is not part of any mountain range and rises straight from the plains, making it accessible for climbers without advanced skills, though determination is needed. Located near the town of Moshi and just an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport, the journey to its summit takes you through diverse ecological zones—from lush rainforests to icy arctic summits. Each zone showcases unique wildlife and plants, like the striking impatiens kilimanjari flower and playful colobus monkeys. Kilimanjaro promises an exciting experience that perfectly combines physical challenges with the serene beauty of nature.
Wildlife Safaris
Tanzania is a world-renowned destination for wildlife safaris, offering unparalleled experiences in some of Africa’s most iconic parks. The Serengeti National Park is famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in search of greener pastures. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides a unique opportunity to see a dense concentration of wildlife within a dramatic volcanic caldera. Tarangire National Park, known for its large elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience. Whether tracking the Big Five or witnessing the raw beauty of the African landscape, Tanzania’s wildlife safaris promise unforgettable encounters with nature’s most majestic creatures.
Cultural Safaris
Tanzania Cultural Safaris offer a deep dive into the rich heritage and traditions of its diverse communities. Travelers can engage with the Maasai, known for their vibrant attire, warrior culture, and deep connection to the land. Visits to Hadzabe bushmen provide a rare glimpse into the lives of one of Africa’s last hunter-gatherer tribes, where ancient skills and customs are still practiced.
Exploring Chagga villages near Mount Kilimanjaro reveals the agricultural lifestyle and traditional practices of this industrious people. Cultural safaris in Tanzania go beyond wildlife, offering an immersive experience that connects visitors with the people who have shaped the country’s history and continue to preserve its cultural identity. These encounters provide a meaningful and enriching dimension to any Tanzanian adventure.
Beach Holidays
Tanzania Beach Holidays offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure along its pristine coastline and idyllic islands. Zanzibar, known as the “Spice Island,” boasts powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a paradise for sun-seekers and snorkelers alike.
Pemba Island, less developed and more secluded, offers a tranquil escape with lush greenery and untouched marine life, ideal for diving enthusiasts. Mafia Island, part of a marine park, is a haven for whale shark sightings and underwater exploration. Whether lounging under palm trees, exploring historic Stone Town, or diving into the rich marine life, Tanzania’s beach destinations provide an idyllic retreat, complementing the country’s thrilling wildlife and cultural experiences.
Mount Meru Climb
Mount Meru, Tanzania’s second-highest peak, offers an exciting and less crowded alternative to Kilimanjaro for adventurous hikers. Standing at 4,566 meters (14,980 feet), Mount Meru is located in Arusha National Park and provides a challenging yet rewarding climb. The trek begins in lush forests, home to diverse wildlife such as buffaloes, giraffes, and colobus monkeys.
Ol Donyo Lengai
Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, located in northern Tanzania, is a unique and sacred peak known as the “Mountain of God” by the Maasai people. Standing at 2,962 meters (9,718 feet), it is the only active volcano in the world that erupts natrocarbonatite lava, a rare, highly fluid, and cool lava that appears almost black when it flows.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
