Burigi Chato Safaris

Based in Arusha, Moshi & Chato

Locally-owned Tanzania operator with offices in Arusha, Moshi, and Chato — the unusual third base sits in the northwestern Lake Zone, adjacent to Burigi-Chato National Park, which is their branded specialty. Coverage extends beyond the standard northern circuit to include the rarely-visited Ibanda-Kyerwa, Rumanyika-Karagwe, Rubondo Island, and Saanane Island parks — one of very few operators packaging these as bookable itineraries rather than treating them as fly-in exceptions. Full Kilimanjaro portfolio: 6 routes with published pricing (Marangu from $1,200, Machame from $1,450). Also runs Mount Meru trekking (1-4 day formats) and bike-trekking programmes ($300-$2,500). Group-joining safaris available 1-6 days for solo travellers and small budgets. Zanzibar packages 1-9 days. 5-star rated per own site, TripAdvisor verified, Tourist Link certified.

Where Burigi Chato Safaris operates

Burigi Chato Safaris runs trips across 5 destinations in Tanzania, covering the Kagera Region, Kilimanjaro Region, and Zanzibar Archipelago. Each park has its own character — from open savannas and forested escarpments to coastal reefs — and Burigi Chato Safaris tailors itineraries around what you most want to see.

  • Rumanyika-Karagwe National Park · Kagera Region — A newly established national park blending wildlife with the deep history of the ancient Karagwe Kingdom — rare roan antelope, forest birds, and iron-age archaeological sites in Tanzania's far northwest.
  • Kilimanjaro · Kilimanjaro Region — Climb Africa's highest peak — a world-class trekking challenge accessible to determined non-technical climbers.
  • Zanzibar · Zanzibar Archipelago — Turquoise waters, spice farms, and a UNESCO World Heritage Stone Town — Tanzania's island paradise.
  • Ibanda-Kyerwa National Park · Kagera Region — One of Tanzania's newest national parks — a remote northwest wilderness near the Uganda border protecting diverse savanna and forest in a transboundary corridor, completely off the tourist trail.
  • Burigi-Chato National Park · Kagera Region — Tanzania's fourth-largest national park — a vast northwest wilderness of savanna, forest valleys, and Lake Burigi's shores, home to the elusive shoebill stork and sitatunga antelope.

What you can do with Burigi Chato Safaris

This operator specialises in beach & island, boat safari, wildlife safari, bird watching, photography tours, and mountain trekking. Trips can be combined into a single multi-stop itinerary or booked as standalone experiences.

  • Beach & Island — Tanzania's Indian Ocean coastline and islands deliver some of the finest tropical beach experiences in Africa — turquoise water, white sand, Swahili history, and excellent snorkelling just offshore.
  • Boat Safari — Explore Tanzania's waterways from the water — boat safaris offer a completely different perspective on wildlife, bringing you face-to-face with hippos, crocodiles, and waterbirds at eye level.
  • Wildlife Safari — The classic East African experience — tracking lions, elephants, leopards, and the full Big Five across Tanzania's vast savannas and woodlands.
  • Bird Watching — Tanzania is one of Africa's great birding destinations — over 1,100 recorded species across habitats from soda lakes and Rift Valley wetlands to montane cloud forest and Miombo woodland.
  • Photography Tours — Tanzania's combination of extraordinary wildlife density, dramatic landscapes, and golden dry-season light makes it one of the world's top photography safari destinations.
  • Mountain Trekking — From Kilimanjaro's Uhuru Peak — the highest point in Africa at 5,895m — to Mount Meru, the Usambaras, and the forest trails of Udzungwa, Tanzania offers a spectrum of trekking experiences for every level.

Burigi Chato Safaris provided an excellent package at a very reasonable cost. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured the best experience at every stop — from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater.

TripAdvisor Reviewer

Burigi Chato helped me plan the best Tanzania wildebeest migration safari and made sure I was well taken care of each day. Everyone was super nice, and the guide amazed me with his in-depth knowledge about the wild plains and all the animals we saw.

TripAdvisor Reviewer

I highly recommend the Serengeti Balloon tour as part of a holiday with Burigi Chato Safaris. The service was exceptional and the food was fantastic with a smile.
