Over the years travelers have become more aware of the importance of responsible and sustainable tourism. Unfortunately, many companies have taken advantage of this concept and participated in what is known as ‘Greenwashing’, claiming to have a positive impact and give back to people, places, and the planet when in fact they are not.
Tanzania is one of the more expensive African safari destinations, due to many external factors, including higher operational costs than most destinations. As you will have realized it’s very competitive and there are lots of choices. But buyer beware, oftentimes lower-priced trips, both here and anywhere in the world, usually mean something is being sacrificed. It’s could service standards, safety, or comfort, but it’s usually the local workers who will suffer the most.
We believe in total transparency to our clients, our teams, and our communities, and would like to share with you what makes traveling with African Scenic Safaris different from many other companies.
Every traveler, every itinerary, has an opportunity to drive economic empowerment in our communities. This means supporting local businesses, boosting employment, and ensuring that your money has a positive impact on the communities you visit.
We are committed to the protection of biodiversity and wildlife, utilizing local resources, and waste reduction. This not only dictates where we travel but also the experiences we create and the services we provide.
Whilst we don’t have all the answers and recognize this is a philosophy and process that continues to evolve, we are committed to giving back and to remaining industry leaders here in East Africa, on the continent, and within the global tourism industry.

We spent an incredible 10 days and 9 nights exploring the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area – it was truly a dream come true for us, and a trip we will never, ever forget!
African Scenic Safaris was recommended to us by someone who has gone with them twice over the past several years. We recently returned from a 9-day safari and five days in Zanzibar. From start to finish, our experience with them was great.
My friend and I had an absolutely AMAZING experience with African Scenic! From the fantastic coordination provided by our agent Nembris to the amazing guides on our 7-day Machame trek on Kili Godwin and Gadiel (Double G 😁)
