About Escape to Wildlife Safaris Limited

Escape to Wildlife Safaris Limited is a professionally registered and locally owned tour operator based in Arusha, Tanzania—the gateway to some of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife destinations. We specialize in tailor-made safaris that combine exceptional guiding, personalized service, and authentic Tanzanian hospitality.

Founded by professional safari guide Abdi, whose years of experience have been spent exploring Tanzania's national parks and conservation areas, our company was created with a simple vision: to deliver meaningful safari experiences that go beyond wildlife sightings. Every journey is thoughtfully designed to reflect each traveler's interests, pace, and expectations.

From the endless plains of the Serengeti and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar, we showcase the very best of Tanzania. Whether you are travelling as a couple, family, group of friends, photographer, or solo adventurer, we are committed to creating unforgettable experiences built around comfort, safety, and attention to detail.

At Escape to Wildlife Safaris Limited, we believe that a safari is more than a holiday—it is an opportunity to connect with nature, discover diverse cultures, and create memories that last a lifetime. Our experienced team, well-maintained 4×4 safari vehicles, and dedication to outstanding customer service ensure that every journey is seamless from your arrival to your departure.

What We Believe

The animals set the pace

We never crowd a sighting or chase one. If a leopard wants to sleep for an hour, we wait or we move on.

Local first

Every guide, driver and cook on our team is Tanzanian, on fair wages, year-round — not seasonal contracts.

Leave it as we found it

No off-road driving, no plastic bottles in the vehicles, and porters on the mountain carrying legal loads only.

Someone always answers

From the first enquiry to the drive back to the airport, you deal with the people who planned your trip.
