- Want clear pricing and a quote that lists what is included
- Care about meeting local people, not only seeing wildlife
- Want a budget or mid-range trip with real comfort
- Would like a safari, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar in one itinerary
Maybe not for you if you
- Want a large international brand with a call centre
- Prefer a fixed, one-size-fits-all group departure
- Expect guaranteed river crossings. Wildlife is wild
- Want to book without ever speaking to anyone
Hi, I’m Christian
I studied Tourism Management and worked with some of Tanzania’s leading tour companies, guiding travellers and designing itineraries. What I felt was missing was real connection beyond the famous parks.
So I started inviting guests to share meals with local families, walk through farms, visit markets and villages. Travellers told me those moments became the highlight of their trip, and that is how Let’s Wander Tanzania began.
Tell me when you would like to travel and what excites you, and I will plan it with you personally.

Is it safe to go on safari in Tanzania?
Northern Tanzania is considered very safe for tourists. As anywhere, use normal travel common sense. Your guide looks after you throughout, and our team is on call 24/7.
Do I need a visa to visit Tanzania?
Most visitors can get a visa on arrival for about $50 per person in cash, and some nationalities can apply for an e-visa online. One Tanzania tourist visa also covers Zanzibar.
What vaccinations do I need?
A yellow fever certificate is required if you arrive from a country with yellow fever risk, and malaria prevention is strongly recommended. Please speak to your doctor or travel clinic before you travel.
How much should I tip?
A guide is usually tipped about $15–20 per person per day for your driver-guide and crew. Bring clean US dollar bills.
How far in advance should I book?
For peak months from June to October and over the festive period, book 6–12 months ahead because the best camps and dates fill quickly. Quieter months need less notice.
What currency should I bring?
Bring clean US dollar bills for tips, park fees and extras, plus some Tanzanian shillings. ATMs are reliable only in Arusha.
Are all trips private?
Yes. Our trips run with your own vehicle and guide, so you set the pace. Group-joining options are available on selected dates if you prefer a lower price.
How do I get a price?
Use the planner above or message us on WhatsApp with your dates, group size and wish list. We reply within 24 hours with a tailor-made plan and clear pricing.
