Our Safari Guide.
Excellent Guides Company employs approximately 40 professional driver-guides with an average experience of 10 years. We have very high standards when it comes to hiring and retaining personnel, and can say without reservation that these individuals are quite simply the most knowledgeable, hardworking and passionate guides in the industry. All of our guides are local Tanzanians, fluent in English, German, French, and Spanish and most have advanced wildlife certificates from the Mweka Wildlife College – the oldest and most prestigious wildlife college in Africa.
It may surprise some people that the secret to a great safari lies not in your specific itinerary, lodge selection or season of travel, the key to success lies in the skills, passion, hard work, and competency of your safari/driver-guide.
Our Tours
Our tours itineraries are designed specifically for travelers who want to experience off beaten track. We endeavor to create the right balance between scheduled itinerary and plenty of fun free time. You will not be heavily overloaded with lots of unnecessary information. Let’s face it you are on holiday after all.
We aim to keep our tours to groups of 6-10, because a shared safari in Tanzania is a great way to meet new people and reduce costs but (except if you are traveling solo) we recommend a private safari since the price difference is not very significant, we want to make sure that your experience is personal and fun! You will get to interact better with our guides and ask plenty of questions, and you’d be able to benefit from full itinerary customization, travel at your own rhythm and pace and have more free space in the car. In fact, we specialize in tailor made safaris.
