Welcome to Tanzania with Travel By Locals.
Travel by Locals was a project dreamed by the minds and hearts of local freelance tour guides from Moshi-Kilimanjaro Tanzania. The main objective was to unite all the Top freelance local Guides with years of Mountaineering and wildlife safari experience. we work together as a Team, and we are proud to show our visitors in and around Tanzania, in a more informative and adventurous way.
The premises for this project were that every visitor must be able to experience the most incredible places in Tanzania and that, regardless of a Kili climb and safari being a luxurious or budget one, the price must be fair. Take a private tour with our knowledgeable local guides as your tour guide who knows every secret of the destination visited as well as its local people! All our guides are reliable local guides carefully selected and approved by TBL. UNIQUE AND REMOTE AREAS TOUR. Some of these tours are designed as times of learning and reflection on what matters in our lives. By experiencing different people and communities we hope you will see your own context more clearly. And in the vastness of Mountains, Jungle and Savannah wilderness you have an opportunity to grow stronger spiritual anchors for these tours. While we travel in remote areas we are not expecting or requiring participants to have had past experience of such travel or expertise with 4WDs, around a campfire or in the Bush. What we are looking for are people with flexibility, maturity, a willingness to learn and openness to growing skills. Our motto: Every safari is a different one. Be fair, be flexible, and be good - Every single time. Every safari is a different experience, for different people, with different needs and expectations and we go the extra mile to make sure everyone has the experience of a lifetime. Helping local communities We believe the local communities should be able to benefit from the increasing tourism. Our safaris usually include cultural programs that allow the travelers to visit remote villages and off the beaten path areas (authentic places, not touristic shows), which enables them to get a much more rewarding and richer safari experience while, at the same time, supporting the local community. We also make sure that our guides (which, we believe, are the most important asset in any safari) are paid well. They are the best, and can transform a great safari in a life changing experience. Why us? When someone searches for safaris in Tanzania, the offers will be overwhelming and people usually wonder what each company offers that others don't, or why some are more expensive than others. So, why choose us? Here are 10 reasons why you should: 1 - Locally owned: with the knowhow and field experience of the Tanzanian Top local guides. 2 - Flexibility: We do our best to bring the prices of private safaris down close to group safaris prices. Having a shared climb or safari is a great way to meet new people and save some money, especially if you are traveling alone. But we believe that people who want to do the climb or safari alone doesn’t have to pay a fortune to do it. When a safari is private, we are completely flexible. We can change any program in any way the customer may want to, accommodate last minute changes, etc. 3 - Dedication: Even though we have grown from a small company to an established one, we still put all our effort and love in each different safari. A safari is a rough experience, sometimes things can break, and plans can change. But you will not find a company that will work so hard for you to make sure you have a fabulous and an experience as smooth as possible. 4 - Our guides: Contrarily to most companies, our guides and potters are paid fair salaries and become an active part of our project, always welcome to propose changes and improvements. These makes they work with more joy and pleasure. All our guides have many years of experience, some of them having worked for high-end companies in the past. 5 - Customer Support: When you contact our customer support, you will not be speaking with any office staff who has no idea of who you are, you will be always speaking directly with the director of the company, who know everything about your climb or safari and are working hard for you making sure your expectations are met and exceeded. We have a responsiveness and attention to your emails that is unrivaled in this industry, and you can expect an email to be answered in just a few hours, sometimes just minutes. 6 - The food! Our cooks all attended cooking courses and have a high budget to spend on the climb or safari food, the result? Fantastic food while climbing or doing the safari. 7 - Equipments: During climbing, provided Equipments are: · Tents: 3-person dome-style mountain tents (4 Seasons quality Tents) · Foam Mattress · Dining tent, dining table, and stools/chairs · Cooking utensils, equipment, and supplies · Eating dishes and utensils · washing basins. During our wildlife safaris, We are proud to offer safari holidays all over Tanzania - from the best of Basic-camping trips to the best of safari lodges and luxurious, mobile Tented camps. Our safari vehicles are made up of well maintained Land Rover TDI’s, Toyota Land Cruisers 4WD along with Toyota mini buses and extended Land Cruisers and Land Rovers for the family/group adventure safaris where everyone can stay together. All vehicles are fitted with game viewing hatches or pop-up roofs, VHF radio communication, 2 spare tires, seat belts, first aid kit and cooler boxes. we also provide quality binoculars which will make a huge difference in the quality of your safari and your overall satisfaction. Luck plays a major part in a safari but there will be several moments when you will only see animals from far away (for example, a leopard eating a gazelle on top of a tree, far away). With the binoculars we provide, you will be able to zoom the animals very close to you, with such a crystal clear image that you just forget you are using them. 8 - Camping conditions: If you are doing a camping safari, you will be happy to know that all our tents are a-class Canvas tents. They are really good, resistant and don't allow any light in. In some national parks (for example, Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Park), we don't stay in the same campsites most companies stay. We stay in tented campsites which already have their own tents installed. These tents are huge (you can stand up inside them, and they have real beds (solid, wooden beds) inside them so your comfort is drastically increased). Even in other campsites like the ones in the Serengeti or Ngorongoro, for a small extra fee, we can arrange large tents and foldable beds. 9 - Support to local communities: By enriching our safaris with cultural activities, we are able to give some of the tourism benefits to the local villages. Besides, 5% of our profits go out to help giving an education to some children in a village 3km away from Moshi. We are also partners with Light of society, a local NGO'S whose goals is to support local communities. contact us For more information about community development projects. Pack for a Purpose and are responsible for delivering supplies that tourists bring, to the ones who need them. 10 - Our prices: Last but not least, we operate with some of the best prices in the market, especially when it comes to private safaris. It is possible to find cheaper agencies as there are certainly many cut-price companies operating, but we operate a fair-traded policy where we employ only qualified local staff and pay them above average rates and we do not compromise on vehicles, park fees, equipment and services, besides providing above average equipment to our customers.
