Local Tanzania Tour Co. Owner can provide whatever experience you want
Tanzania native Christopher shares his knowledge and love of Tanzania with his clients. Thoughtful, organized, patient and experienced, Christopher created a custom 12 day tour for us that achieved our goals of wanting to experience both a high-end lodging experience as well as in-the-park tent camp experiences. We never imagined we would see the number, and different kinds, of animals we did. Due to Christopher's experience, he knew when something was about to happen and twice we were able to view lions stalking prey. He could also spot animals we would never have seen without him, like leopards in trees. Christopher and the other tour guides he uses, which includes his son Warren, were a pleasure to spend our days and nights with (our group of 9 used two trucks).

Once you take a safari with Christopher, you will never look at another option! BEST GUIDE EVER!
We have been on safari 3 times, each one with Christopher in Northern Tanzania. He is genuinely the BEST GUIDE and MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE animal and plant person I have ever met. Christopher finds the elusive animals far sooner and more intuitively than any other guide in the national parks and conservation areas. He flawlessly knows his flora and fauna as well as the history and culture and geography of his homeland. This is truly impressive. And as a privately and locally-owned operator, he continues to foster relationships with other amazing local businesses and organizations. He not only is doing the work to make our vacations truly unforgettable, he is helping the entire local community to thrive. We have never been disappointed by any place or person to whom he has introduced us. We also are always astounded and have shear amazement from all we get to experience thru his bespoke safari plans- all thoughtfully designed and organized to do A LOT but never feel rushed. We travel the world and have had many experiences in many continents; however, we will continue to return to Tanzania and Christopher for our next unforgettable experience.

The one to choose in Tanzania!
I DREAM OF AFRICA, what a lovely phrase! Just the name of a company, but THE company to choose for a safari in Tanzania.
Christopher, the guide and local owner of this small company, is highly experienced, competent and very friendly.
He drives very well and safely, and knows all the tricks for seeing wild animals.
Thanks to him, we spent a fabulous day discovering the wonderful animals and landscapes in the Taranguire park.
His experience enabled us to see giraffes, elephants, meerkats, warthogs, monkeys and the icing on the cake was to see a leopard, cheetahs and lions. Unforgettable!
Thank you for everything Christopher! The next time I come, I will definitely choose your company 'I DREAM OF AFRICA' (+255 754 461 594) and your services again. Thank you so much!

Excellent, reliable, friendly
We are a young couple from Germany and started our honeymoon with a 9-day safari in Tanzania with the guide and tour organizer I Dream of Africa. We would simply like to recommend this small, family-run travel company from Tanzania.
Christopher put together the trip individually according to our wishes, contact via WhatsApp (+255 754 461 594) was great. He speaks perfect English. We took a day trip to Kilimanjaro and to the Hadza/Datoga tribes and otherwise visited various national parks. Due to Christopher's extensive experience (almost 25 years), we had extremely good animal sightings (Big5, leopard hunting scene, fights between lions, a group of lions sharing a dead zebra, etc.). We were happy that Christopher always treated nature and animals with respect. He offers various accommodation options, but we decided to camp in the national parks, for which Christopher brought the high-quality equipment. We were able to hear the animals at night, went on long observation drives and enjoyed the food prepared by our personal "camp doctor" and cook Jophet. Although we can be picky when it comes to food, we were impressed every day. The two of them made an incredible effort to ensure that we had the best time. The price-performance ratio was really good.
Because we are very grateful for these wonderful experiences, we would like to recommend Christopher's Safari to you. With so many European companies, it is difficult to advertise as a Tanzanian tour operator, but this is the only way the money goes directly to the tour operators in the country. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.
