The best travel experiences can be described as "Close"

Close to Nature

Experience Tanzania’s wildlife like never before by staying inside the National Parks, where the sounds and animals of the savannah surround you day and night (safely, of course).

Close to Community

As a small, family-owned company, our entire team is made up of native Tanzanians, all committed to uplifting their extended families and villages.

Close to Culture

Explore Tanzania’s rich heritage through the eyes of local guides, offering deep cultural insights beyond the wildlife.

Close to Conservation

Travel sustainably, knowing your safari helps preserve Tanzania’s wildlife and natural beauty for future generations.

Close to Traditions

We love and respect the diverse traditions of Tanzania. If you wish, we are thrilled to take you on cultural experiences, like visiting a traditional Masai village.

Close to Professionals

From the moment you land in Tanzania, it is our pleasure to take care of you. We greet all our guests at the airport with a big smile, ready to start the adventure, and drop them off for their next.

A dream fulfilled!
Chris was very attentive and was a good spotter of animals. As a result I managed to see the Big 5. My wife had an incident with her luggage and Chris assisted after hours. Highly recommended!!

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 ...

Our history

Jambo, I'm Christopher!

I Dream of Africa is a family-owned business owned and run by myself, my son Warren, and my cousin Japhet. With over 30 years as a safari guide, each trip still feels as special as the first.

About Us

My Home Village

I was born and raised in the village Momella in the Arusha National Park at the foot of Mount Meru.

As a young boy, I walked through the Arusha area that I now tour daily.

Creating Unforgettable Adventures

Our goal is to give you an authentic African bush experience—not just by chasing the Big 5, but by taking time to appreciate the Little 5 and everything in between. They’re just as fascinating and exciting to observe!

One thing we're proud of, is that every guest leaves Tanzania with unforgettable memories to cherish forever.
