Who we are

A friend of nature, based in Arusha – Tanzania

Karibu Africa Safaris Ltd is a tour operator with its head office in Arusha, the safari capital of Tanzania. For around 20 years we have organised wildlife safaris, mountain climbs, hiking and biking trips and beach holidays in Tanzania, Kenya and Zanzibar. We are a member of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO).

Karibu means “welcome” in Swahili, and that is how we want every traveller to feel. We arrange everything from simple camping safaris to luxury lodges, and have hosted guests ranging from families on their first safari to ministers, ambassadors and television film crews.

Our aim is to create safari experiences that are carried out in the most sustainable way: supporting local suppliers, and encouraging travel that cares for Africa’s wildlife and people.

  • We had a wonderful 7 day tour in Tanzania around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park. … Big shout out to our driver and guide Godson who is very knowledgeable of his home country and the wildlife.

  • We are returning from a second safari with Karibu Africa Safaris … and we can only recommend this Tanzanian agency. Once again, the choice of hotels was excellent, and the guide (Franck), very experienced and motivated, gave us an incredible experience.

  • The highlight of our trip was the 7-day safari, which was truly exceptional thanks to our guide Godfrey. … From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater – Godfrey made sure we saw and learned as much as possible.
