Safi is a Swahili word originally meaning "clean." Today, a closer translation is "splendid" or "wonderful." At Safi Safaris, we bring all our experience and knowledge to bear to create African safaris that match these superlatives.

At Safi, we focus exclusively on Tanzania, a country rich in breathtaking scenery, unparalleled numbers of wild animals and birds, not to mention friendly and hospitable people. Our safaris give you the chance to find the peace as well as the excitement of Africa.

From our 4WD Land Cruisers and Land Rovers you will get close to a huge variety of wildlife. Imagine yourself looking on as three lionesses stalk a Cape buffalo. Contemplate life's meaning amongst a herd of 100 elephants, watching as a new mother, massive tusks piercing the air, gently nudges her 300-pound son to his feet to suckle. Meet our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, by the sparkling waters of Africa's largest lake (Victoria) and deepest lake (Tanganyika). Before your safari, summit Kilimanjaro, reaching Uhuru Peak at 19,340 feet and know that you're on the roof of Africa. Relax on a pristine beach by the warm Indian Ocean, dolphins frolicking in the water just offshore. Savor the smells and sounds of Africa's unspoiled savanna and meet some of the local people.

Safi is a small company offering personal service. Unlike some larger operators, every trip is specially designed for you, by us. The Safi staff prides itself on providing superior trips at reasonable prices. We create itineraries that combine the famous places with less well-known but equally impressive venues. And of course we can arrange for you to go with one of our specialist consultant wildlife guides.

Whether you're looking for a bargain or a splurge, we can help. Each tour is designed individually to suit your needs:- your choice of activities, the time you can spend in Tanzania and your budget. Our sample Private Tours are meant to get you started with planning your itinerary with us.

Before finalizing your plans with us, check out our page of Activities and Add-ons. Balloon rides in the Serengeti, canoeing on Lake Manyara, horse riding on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, walking safaris, visiting the local people, all these are available within the context of our safaris. If you are interested in one of these activities or add-on days, please let us know when you request an itinerary, then we can incorporate them into your safari.

We welcome you to the Safi Safaris Web site. You can find out more about Tanzania's treasures and Safi Safaris in the following pages. We hope to hear from you soon!
