Why Travel With True Africa Escape

What sets us apart from other tour operators in Tanzania

100% Tanzanian Owned & Operated

Unlike many safari companies that are foreign-owned, True Africa Escape is 100% Tanzanian owned and operated by Antony Mark Ngowi. This means your money stays in Tanzania, supporting local families and communities. Our team grew up here, knows the land intimately, and has personal connections with local communities that enhance your experience.

Expert Local Guides

All our guides are Tanzanian nationals with extensive training and certification. They're not just drivers - they're wildlife experts, cultural interpreters, and passionate conservationists. Many have over 10 years of experience and speak excellent English plus local languages. Their deep knowledge transforms a good safari into an extraordinary educational experience.

Authentic Cultural Experiences

We go beyond tourist performances to create genuine cultural exchanges. Visit real Maasai villages (not staged ones), meet local artisans in their workshops, and enjoy home-cooked meals with Tanzanian families. These experiences are arranged directly with communities, ensuring they benefit fairly from tourism.

Premium Equipment & Vehicles

Our safari vehicles are custom-built 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs, guaranteed window seats, charging ports, and fridge coolers. For Kilimanjaro climbs, we provide high-quality tents, sleeping mats, and dining equipment. We maintain all equipment to the highest standards for your comfort and safety.

Safety as Priority #1

Your safety is our top concern. All Kilimanjaro guides are Wilderness First Responder certified. Safari vehicles have satellite phones and comprehensive first aid kits. We monitor weather conditions closely and have evacuation plans for every location. We're licensed and insured according to Tanzanian regulations.

Customized Itineraries

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all tours. Every itinerary is customized based on your interests, fitness level, budget, and travel dates. Whether you're a photographer seeking specific shots, a family with young children, or adventurers looking for off-the-beaten-path experiences, we'll create the perfect Tanzanian journey for you.
