Top Destinations
Tanzania stands out as a premier travel destination due to its extraordinary natural wonders, rich wildlife, and cultural depth.
Only one third of this national park is land, the rest is swamp or water. The area has a size of 325km² and is about a 2 hour drive from Arusha. On the way from Arusha to Manyara you will not get bored.
You will see the beautiful Maasai walking from village to village. You will also see some of the typical Maasai villages with little houses and cattle.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is actually part of the Serengeti plains to which the Maasai Mara (Kenya) also belongs to. If you drive from Arusha to the Serengeti, you will drive through the NCA.
The most famous part of the NCA is the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is with 265km² only three percent of the total NCA.
This park attracts a great amount of animals because it contains an important water source, the Tarangire river. Especially in the dry season a lot of animals migrate to Tarangire for this water source. Other times of the year this park gets very green.
If you are interested in seeing the centuries old Baobab trees, this park is a must to visit. According to the Maasai the Baobab was the first tree on earth.
Serengeti is the biggest National Park of Tanzania and even listed on the World Heritage List of Unesco. The name of the park comes from the Maasai word ‘siringet’ which means ‘endless plains’.
This is a very suitable name as it is as big as 14800 square kilometers. Over a hundred years ago the Maasai were the first group of people to set foot on the Serengeti plains.
Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing, snow-capped tropical mountain in the planet. Stories about her resident man-eating spirits have been consigned to the realms of mythology now that she has been mapped and climbed.
Mount Kilimanjaro, on the other hand, maintains a mystique that contradicts all current knowledge of her slopes. Images of Tanzania’s remarkable contrasts, such as the towering snow-covered cone rising majestically from rich green slopes, have become a compelling motif.
Lake Natron is situated north of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and reachable by an adventurous route passing Engaruka village. The area is not as well known as the other nature parks, but it is increasing in popularity.
Temperatures in the lake can reach 50 °C (120 °F) and it is the most important breeding place for flamingos in East Africa. Every year two thousand flamingos come here to lay their eggs.
Set beneath the verdant slopes of the spectacular Usambara and Pare Eastern Arc Mountain ranges and overseen by Kilimanjaro’s iconic snow-capped peak, Mkomazi National Park is a virgin breathtaking beauty exhibiting unique natural treasures and an immense sense of space – adds to the fulfillment of high visitor enjoyment expectations – a much-needed bridge between the northern circuit and coastal attractions.

EXCELLENT Based on 246 reviews Ruth T2024-07-27Verified Once in a lifetime. This was an exciting and exhilarating hike. Grueling and rewarding. Our guides were great, and our porters and chef exceptional. I would definitely recommend trekking with Materuni. L D2024-04-26Verified Coffee tour, safari and Usambara Mountains - everything was great :) This is the third time that I have done safaris and the coffee tour with Materuni Tours. The coffee tour takes you through the village of Materuni, through a beautiful landscape to a huge waterfall. The hike is not demanding and is beautiful. You are also shown how coffee grows and how it is made, or you can make it yourself. We really liked that! After that we did a 4-day safari, which was simply fantastic. We had very nice accommodations and a cool car with lots of space. Since we are bird lovers, we also really liked the fact that our driver was extremely knowledgeable about the Tanzanian bird world and always showed us the animals in a book. After the safari we did a 3.5-day hike in the Usambara Mountains with Materuni Tours. It was amazing!! The nature is fantastic and we hiked through many villages and got a great insight into Tanzanian culture. Our guide Francis was very, very nice and funny. He made the best guacamole in the world and was very attentive. We saw lots of chameleons and had an incredible view of over 300 km. I can only recommend Materuni Tours, everything was very well organized and even when we wanted to make a few spontaneous changes, they were immediately taken into account and implemented. I also think it's good that it's a Tanzanian provider and that this boosts the economy in the country. Harold G2024-02-20Verified 7 day Machame Kilimanjaro & 2 day safari In February 2024 we climbed the Kilimanjaro using the Machame route in 7 days. The trek was organized by Materuni Tours, a local company. Ambrose, the owner of Materuni Tours knows his stuff and everything was very well organized. We had a great team of porters, the chef prepared delicious food and the guides were excellent. Also the stay at the Kilimanjaro Accommodation before and after the trek was very enjoyable with a great chef preparing meals on demand. The safari was a little bonus we had not planned before arriving in Moshi. It was again perfectly organized last minute by Ambrose. I truly recommend Materuni Tours, especially because it is locally owned. Ena Z2024-01-27Verified Amazing way to experience Kilimanjaro !! Ambrose was very dialed, and his crew was absolutely amazing! Once we exited the airport, Dino was waiting for us. We arrived to the host, Ambrose's house, and everything was beyond my expectations. The food was amazing, and all the little details was incredible. The tour itself was made extra special because of Ambrose's crew. Led by Antony, and also guided by Davis, Matthew, and Josef: they ensured we were all safe and having a good time. The porters and cooks and waiters all also made the trip extra special!!! They sang for us, let me cook a little soup with them, and made sure that we adjusted to the altitude no problem. Our group could not have done it without the crew that Ambrose had for us. I am so happy I got to experience this, mainly because of all of them!!! Highly recommend !!! Roland N2023-12-01Verified Materuni safari Our guide Kaleby picked us up from the hotel in Arusha and we went to the beautiful park Tarangire. We saw many animals and the views were amazing. Kaleby had a answer to every question we had. We saw a leopard! We spent the night in Haven Nature Lodge. Great place, good food, great staff! Early in the morning we drove to Ngorogoro Crater. Undescribable place, we came close to lions with 4 cubs playing. Elephants, hyenas, sebras, wildbeasts, birds. Materuni tours did all they promised. Great guide, good car and good food. Joe S2023-10-28Verified Unforgettable experience! Unforgettable experience climbing Kilimanjaro and doing 5 day safari. The mountain team were 1st class and do everything for you on the mountain so all you need to do is walk, giving you the best chance of summiting. Safari was a really fun was of spending the 2nd week, we saw lots of amazing animals including the big 5, and also nice way to meet other travellers. Materuni Tours provide a very personalised experience, and will look to arrange anything you want at short notice. If you’re a solo traveller and looking to be part of a group, best check first when there are sign ups and for which routes, as there’s no guarantee there will be a group if you select your own dates. Also the accommodation is nice but a bit out of town and feels like a safe house, so if you’re wanting to try and link up with other travellers/climbers then worth arranging a hostel in Moshi. Otherwise a fantastic experience! Irene S2023-10-19Verified Trip that I never forget The trip was amazing. We had a great team, and the guides where super! They helped me to go up the mountain. Give me mental support. I don’t made it to the top because of my headache and nosiness. But I am proud that my husband made it to the summit together with Joseph. Materuni Tours thanks for the great experience 🩵 Irene S2023-10-19Verified Great Safari Tour We made a more days tour. We were going to Arusha National Park, Tarangire Park, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro. We had a great guide Nuru who knew so many things and tell us about all the parks. We saw all of the Big 5 that was amazing. I can recommend this safari tour!!! Materuni thx Bente Goeman2023-10-17Verified Living a day as a local! This tour will give you a really good perspective how the daily life of a real person in a Tanzanian village looks like. They will bring you the beautiful waterfall and after have a coffee workshop. Extra special was the personal touch of the guide who lived his whole childhood in Materuni village. He showed his house where he grew up and we visited the school where he went as a child. Bente Goeman2023-10-17Verified EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME An experience of a lifetime! I'm so greatful Materuni Tours gave us this opportunity to have this amazing experience. The views were unbelievable and also the guides are part of the family. The organisation was really good and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to be in nature.
