Snowcap Tanzania Tours

I have worked in Tanzania for over 30 years and could not recommend a better company

I have known Kenneth Salakana, the Director of SnowCap Ltd most of his life and have worked with him and his father who founded the company for the past 35 years. They are tour operators I chose to provide all arrangements for my annual field-based college course in Northern Tanzania and I have sent many friends and students to them for mountain climbing. They originated the Rongai route that had been closed for many years and have a lovely lodge (The SnowCap Cottages) at its base. It is a great place to stay for a couple of days before climbing to acclimatize to the altitude with day hikes, great food, and comfortable accommodations. Everyone who I recommended to climb with them has reached their goals and have nothing but praise for their professional and friendly guides. I personally work with many of these guides in conjunction with my field course and they are highly trained to protect the safety of visitors and to provide them with an enjoyable experience. Climbers also praise the food by the way! Finally, SnowCap Ltd. is the only local Tanzanian company that is certified by the international non-profit that insures the ethical reimbursement and training of mountain guides and porters. They adhere to international standards and while you can sometimes find cheaper tour operators, you cannot guarantee that they will have your best interests at heart. Traveling with SnowCap Ltd. will enable you to truly experience the warmth and hospitality for which Tanzania is famous. ~Donna Kerner, William Isaac Cole Professor of Anthropology, Wheaton College, Norton, MA (USA)
