About Us

Into the True African Wild

Welcome to East Africa Sauvage — Your Trusted Tanzania Tour Operator

At East Africa Sauvage, we believe travel can transform lives. We uphold a commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism, offering unforgettable adventures that highlight Tanzania’s natural beauty and cultural heritage while prioritizing the well-being of the local communities we work alongside. As your dedicated Tanzania tour operator, based in Arusha at the foothills of Kilimanjaro and Meru, we craft remarkable experiences that capture the true essence of this magnificent destination — whether you’re seeking wildlife encounters, cultural immersion, or breathtaking landscapes.

Our History

East Africa Sauvage was founded in 2022 by a group of local Tanzanians with a shared vision: to build a tour operator rooted in genuine local knowledge, run by the people who call this landscape home. What began as a small team of passionate guides and safari planners has grown into a trusted name across Tanzania’s Northern and Western Circuits.

Our company specializes in Kilimanjaro climbs, classic and off-the-beaten-path safaris, and cultural experiences that reflect the real Tanzania — not just the postcard version.

At East Africa Sauvage, we are more than just a travel agency — we are a fully licensed Tanzania tour operator based right at the foothills of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro, in Arusha City. Our local presence allows us to provide first-hand knowledge of the parks, routes, and communities we work in, translating directly into safer trips, better-timed itineraries, and more authentic experiences for every guest who travels with us.

What We Do

Crafting Unforgettable Tanzania Adventures

At East Africa Sauvage, we specialize in organizing comfortable, safe, and truly unforgettable Kilimanjaro climbing expeditions and wildlife safaris across Tanzania.

From classic Northern Circuit itineraries through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, to remote western Tanzania journeys among the chimpanzees of Gombe and Mahale, and Kilimanjaro ascents along every major route, we design each trip around how our guests actually want to travel — whether that’s a fast-paced highlights tour or a slow, immersive journey with time to breathe. Every itinerary is backed by licensed guides, well-maintained vehicles, and a local team that knows this country inside and out.

Our Safari Guides

Our safari guides are the heart and soul of every Tanzania wildlife adventure. With years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the region’s diverse ecosystems, they bring the wonders of Tanzania to life. Passionate about wildlife conservation and committed to providing safe, informative, and enriching experiences, our guides are as comfortable spotting the Big Five on the Serengeti plains as they are tracking chimpanzees through Mahale’s forest trails.

Our Kilimanjaro Porters

At East Africa Sauvage, our Kilimanjaro porters are the heart of every climb. These hardworking local men and women carry gear, set up camps, and support hikers all the way to the summit. Alongside trained guides and chefs, they ensure your journey is safe and comfortable. We are proud to treat our porters fairly — providing proper wages, quality gear, and meals — recognizing them as true heroes of every Kilimanjaro expedition.
