4C Management by Objectives

People to People Safaris Tanzania (popularly known as P2P Safaris) specialize in bringing visitors closer to the life, history and traditions of the people of Tanzania. We supplement the usual wildlife and scenery safaris with visits to local villages giving a chance to meet people and find out more about their way of life.

Safari Slogan - "Come and experince a memorable safari that blends village life, wild life and the outdoors in Tanzania."

We work with independent travellers to:

• Design itineraries that integrate cultural, wildlife and activity safaris in Tanzania
• Provide excellent guiding to tribal areas and historical sites
• Assist photographers interested in African setting
• Support social travellers looking for homestays in the country
• Collect correct information for travel magazines and guidebooks
• Connect volunteers with local NGOs and village self-help projects
• Organize artisan tours to craft workshops and traditional recycling initiatives

Our Tours

We work with our clients beforehand to compose exciting itineraries that integrate wildlife attractions of Tanzania with experiences of rural village life plus adventures of country walks and other activities. We offer sample itineraries to guide the client at the stage of planning. Please see the samples. Our clients travel privately in small groups accompanied by a proficient safari manager and are free to choose the type of accommodation that suits their taste and budget, including camping and homestays.

For ground transport, the clients travel in 4wd cars with removable roofs for clear game-viewing and sightseeing. Almost all tours begin in the town of Arusha in northern Tanzania where the clients spend a night after arriving on the previous evening/day through Kilimanjaro International Airport or Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi. We occasionally get clients who come through Dar es Salaam Airport, and are often interested in tours to southern Tanzania in which case Dar es Salaam City becomes the base of our tours.

This experience has been enhanced by the background of his profession as a history tutor and travel journalist. Currently, Tatah writes for Tantravel, the official tourism magazine of Tanzania Tourist Board and is also about to finish a book on the tribal cultures of northern Tanzania.

This is a standard itinerary for a meaningful introduction to the country, people and wildlife of Tanzania. Tours to about four different tribal societies enable the visitor to interact with the local people and learn much of their history. For wildlife, preference is given to the two big names; Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The itinerary is designed in a way that it can be easily supplemented with other programmes like Hanang trekking, Zanzibar holiday and Kilimajaro climb, to complete a full two week safari in Tanzania.

Day 1: Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and meet a tour guide who transfers you to a lodge in Arusha town. (Alternatively, clients can use Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi in which case, they are transferred to Arusha by a shuttle bus).

Day 2: Begin a brilliant African day with a visit to the traditional farmsteads on the green, steep slopes of Mount Meru. Admire the busy life of the villagers while crossing banana farms enjoying the mountain scenery. Optional to take lunch prepared in the village or carry a picnic box from the lodge.

Homestays - We have a handful of selected homes where visitors who want to experience real Tanzanian life can opt to stay. All homes have English-speaking members of the family. Through experience, visitors who stay for more than two weeks opt to do some community work. For this case, we arrange activities in schools, youth groups, women self-help projects and health centres according to the visitors preference.
