Customized Tanzanian Safaris: Your Wild Adventure Awaits

Customized safaris

Looking for a safari with a personal touch and attention to detail?

Dashir safaris in Tanzania offers the ultimate wildlife experience. The Serengeti is best known as the home of the Great Migration where thousands of wildebeests and zebras can be seen grazing as far as the eye can see. The Ngorongoro Crater, once a volcano, is the best-preserved caldera in the world. To encounter the abundant wildlife within its towering walls is a truly magnificent experience.

Our mission is to design and carry out your dream adventure. We will work with you to create your personalized itinerary and warmly host you at Dashir lodge- your “safari base camp”!

“Thank you so much for all your work in arranging this amazing trip. It truly surpassed what I dreamt of all these years.”

Climb Kilimanjaro

Have you ever hiked for 4 days and passed through 4 different climate zones?

“Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai ‘Ngaje Ngai’, the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories

So what are you waiting for? Kilimanjaro beckons. We can help you make it to the top!

“The guides and porters were wonderful, helpful & caring … what an amazing group. Exaudi was a great climbing teacher; he was patient and was so kind. And his junior guide Sunday was an absolute delight! That team was a fine group of gentlemen.”

Zanzibar Island offers you the perfect fusion of rest and adventure. Snorkel in the world-class coral reefs and explore the ancient city of Stone Town, a place of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and spices. Then again, maybe your thing is a peaceful walk along an endless white-sand beach or wading in the azure-blue Indian Ocean. It’s up to you!

Dashir Excursions

Walking or hiking are great ways to slow down the pace of life and enjoy the scenic views and friendly folk of rural Tanzania.

The highlight of Tanzanian culture is its people, known for their kindness and welcoming hearts. We must kindly “warn” you that these encounters can be quite powerful and may deeply impact you, creating lasting memories that will make you want to come back for more.

“Visiting Baraka’s home and family was such a moving experience. I don’t even need to go on safari.”
