About Us

Safaris can often be expensive, once-in-a-lifetime trips – how can you be certain that the company you’re considering is a genuine expert when it comes to designing safaris? Northland Safaris is a pioneering, experiential travel company that offers forward-thinking, the global traveler is an exclusive experience of the world as it should be a world that is in balance with itself.

This also allows us to create experiences that transform our guests’ lives.

George Munge, Founder, Northland Safaris highlight a few points that are core to our values.

Keeping current!

We invest significantly in the training and progression of our safari specialists. They are guaranteed extensive trips to East Africa every year. These trips are the best research safaris we’ve seen in the travel business, keeping us in touch with expert guides, wildlife movements, and any new properties or changes in the industry. So, when you contact our team, you’re in touch with people who have recently visited the camps/lodges/hotels they are talking about and recommending to you.

Our approach to ‘selling’ safaris

At Northland Safaris, it’s important to us that our specialists don’t aggressively ‘sell’ safaris. The simple theory is that if we focus on offering the best possible advice, you’ll recognize our level of knowledge and you’ll want to book a trip with us. The ‘hard sell’ approach favored by other companies is simply not the way we want to work. Our staff are encouraged to engage through the sheer quality of information we can provide rather than through a forceful sales approach.

We are not Driven by Commission

It may sound like a strange thing to say, but our team are encouraged to design trips that they would go on themselves. The point here is that we don’t design safaris to properties offering the highest commissions, so our sales staff are not incentivized by commission opportunities from an individual booking. That’s something surprisingly few companies can say – it’s incredibly important at Northland Safaris, for our clients and ultimately for the best safari design.

Customer service is at our core

Incredibly high levels of customer service are integral to the way we work. Of course, that’s easy for many companies to say – and should come as standard bearing in mind the cost of a safari – but it isn’t always the case. We have a special department that concentrates solely on the level of service our clients receive. We have a 24/7 emergency phone line that’s operated by our best consultants every single day of the year. It’s a core company value and something that really comes through in our online reviews.

We’re fully accredited & bonded

We want to inspire your complete confidence, so that when you book with us you know you’re being looked after from the beginning of your safari to the end. Northland Safaris is fully registered safari company in Tanzania with registration Tax Identification Number (TIN) 137260115 and Value Added Tax Number (VAT) 40-045760-B under the company registrar in Tanzania and we’re on standby 24 hours per day, 365 (or 366!) days per year. Northland Safaris is a full member of Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) and the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA), the main trade associations that oversees the safari sector and is recognized throughout the industry as the definitive authority on all matters concerning tourism to Africa. You’re in safe hands!

We Love Giving Back to Our Community

We’ve always believed in giving something back to our communities. Since the company’s beginnings, a percentage of our profits has gone towards conservation and helping communities through the charities and projects we support. It’s incredibly important to us and something we’re happy to talk about with our clients. All our clients are aware of the social, economic, and environmental impact of their travel and taking steps to minimize negative impacts. For them it’s about being responsible tourist and helping to male tourism sustainable.
