For over 25 years, our certified local guides have led travelers through the Serengeti’s Great Migration, up the summit routes of Kilimanjaro, across the turquoise coastlines of Zanzibar, and into authentic Chagga village coffee culture. Whether you are joining an open group departure or designing a private bespoke itinerary, you deal directly with the local team on the ground from the moment you land until the final goodbye.

Amazing 5-Day Tanzania Safari – Highly Recommended! We had an incredible 5-day safari in Tanzania organized by Dot Com Safaris, and everything exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, the entire experience was seamless. The payment process was straightforward, communication was excellent, and we were picked up from the airport exactly as planned. The safari itself was absolutely fantastic. All of the accommodations, from the lodges to the luxury tented camps, were beautiful, comfortable, and of a very high standard. Every detail was well organized, and we never had to worry about anything. A special thank you goes to our guide and driver, Dilli, who made this trip truly unforgettable. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible wildlife experience. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see an amazing variety of animals in the national parks. He also made sure we had delicious lunches every day, which made our game drives even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and we would book with Dot Com Safaris again without hesitation. If you’re looking for a reliable company to organize your Tanzania safari, we highly recommend them! Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

The best Kilimanjaro experience I could wish for :) Dotcom Safaris exceeded all our expectations. From the very first moment, everything was perfectly taken care of – airport pickup, hotel booking, food, drinks, tents, and all the logistics. We truly didn’t have to worry about a single thing and could fully focus on the experience of climbing Kilimanjaro. They also helped us choose the Lemosho route (8 day route), explaining why it would give us the best chance of success. It turned out to be the perfect choice – a beautiful route with fewer people, absolutely stunning views, and a much better acclimatization profile, which really helped us make it all the way to the top. The crew was absolutely incredible – fun, kind, supportive, and always smiling. They created such a positive atmosphere that even on the toughest days, you felt encouraged and safe. The guides were true professionals: they took their responsibility seriously while still keeping the mood light and enjoyable. They constantly checked on everyone’s mental and physical health, making sure the whole group was okay at all times. The food was surprisingly delicious (even though it’s a bit sad that your appetite fades as you gain altitude). All the equipment and gear provided were in great condition, and the team performed regular health checks, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a huge challenge, but with Dotcom Safaris it felt safe, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable. We couldn’t have imagined a better team to do this with. If you’re considering Kilimanjaro, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dotcom Safaris – they truly made this once-in-a-lifetime experience unforgettable.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Experience We summited Mount Kilimanjaro via the 8-day Lemosho Route with Dotcom Safaris, and I couldn’t have wished for a better experience! I first used Dotcom Safaris for a safari in 2023, when I was living in Tanzania. The company was recommended to me by locals, and after that great experience, it was an easy choice for Kilimanjaro. From the start, communication with Emmanuel was excellent — he patiently answered all our questions. Our guides Amidus, Tuma, and Gerald were calm, professional, and incredibly attentive. They noticed even small changes in our mood or breathing, even though not everyone in our group (7 people, ages 28–63) spoke good English. They also consistently found the best spots for our tents at each campsite, which made our evenings more comfortable and enjoyable. Our luggage was delayed before the trek, and the team went above and beyond to help — coordinating with the airport and even offering to bring it up the mountain if needed. That gave us real peace of mind! The food was amazing and plentiful, and the rented gear was clean and warm. I can’t recommend Dotcom Safaris enough — a truly trustworthy, kind, and professional local company that cares deeply about their guests.

If you're looking for a reliable and experienced safari company that truly delivers on service and care, I can confidently recommend Dotcom Safaris. It was a memorable experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy, and truly authentic safari in Tanzania!

Incredible Adventure Through Tarangire & Ngorongoro with Dotcom Safari We had the most unforgettable experience with Dotcom Safari, and our amazing guide Dhili made it all the more special! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Dhili took us through the breathtaking Tarangire National Park and the incredible Ngorongoro Crater, and he made sure every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. What really stood out was Dhili‘s deep knowledge and passion for the wildlife and nature around us. He took the time to explain everything in detail, from the behavior of animals to the history of the parks, and patiently answered all of our questions. His warm personality, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm made us feel not just like tourists, but like friends exploring together. The game drives were perfectly organized, and thanks to Dhili, we saw so many animals up close – an experience we’ll never forget! We can’t recommend Dotcom Safari and Dhili enough. If you want a truly memorable safari with someone who cares about making your experience extraordinary, look no further!

Walk up to Kilimanjaro’s peak was awesome (an over used word but true here). The guides were professional, friendly and positive throughout. The porters made sure everything was as we needed and incredibly friendly. I’d go with dotcom safaris again without hesitation.

They were a wonderful host and representative of an amazing tour operator. Dotcom Safaris doesn’t not disappoint! From the first email to Suresh (the boss) to the final moment at the airport Suresh and his team were very helpful. The food cooked on the mountain was delicious. Suresh was always conscious of safety and very helpful. The whole team took excellent care of us. They were a wonderful host and representative of an amazing tour operator.

We had a great time with Dotcom Safaris. 8 Day Lemosho Route Wondeful Experience! We had a great time with Dotcom Safaris on the 8-day Lemosho Kilimanjaro route, it was incredible. Including two nights at Amag Lodge Kilimanjaro (recommended) and airport transfers. It was about USD $2300/person (July 2024). In the group was just six of us as clients. Suresh was very professional and organising the trek from German was very easy. Our guides were Colman (Chief guide), Paul (Assistant Guide), and Jackson (Assistant Guide), Peter (Chef), Deo (Waiter), David (Tent Crew), Aron (Toilet Attendant porter) and 16 other porters (please forgive for not mentioning all names), and they were very helpful and supportive the whole trek. We were initially booked on an open group trek, but it became a private trek as the other four group members cancelled at the last minute. We would highly recommend Dotcom Safaris to anyone looking to conquer Kilimanjaro. I would also recommend Germans to use Dotcom Safaris as they made it easy to organise the trek from home.
