Our Story

We Don't Just Plan Safaris. We Curate Lifelong African Memories.

Welcome to GIES Tours and Safaris – your trusted gateway to the wild heart of East Africa. We are a locally owned and operated tour company based in Tanzania, built on a simple but powerful belief: that travel should change you.

Whether it's your first time hearing a lion roar at dawn, watching a thousand wildebeest thunder across a river, or standing on the roof of Africa as the sun paints the glaciers gold – we are here to make those moments yours.

Our name, GIES, stands for nothing less than our promise to you:

Genuine experiences – no rushed tours, no hidden fees, no crowds for the sake of it.

Immersive journeys – you'll feel the red soil, smell the wild sage, and hear the stories that guidebooks miss.

Expert guidance – our team lives and breathes the bush. Many of our guides were born in the shadows of Kilimanjaro or grew up alongside Maasai herders.

Sustainable travel – we give back to the land and the people who welcome you.
