Focus East Africa Tours

Based in Arusha

Focus East Africa Tours is an Arusha-based operator with over a decade of experience running safaris and tours across East Africa — Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and the DR Congo. From its office on Morovian Road in Arusha, the team builds tailor-made northern-circuit itineraries covering Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, alongside Kilimanjaro treks, gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, cultural visits and Zanzibar beach extensions. Trips are privately guided and shaped around each traveller's budget and pace, from short crater day tours to multi-country wildlife journeys. The company holds a 4.8/5 rating across more than 140 traveller reviews, with repeat praise for responsive trip planning and knowledgeable driver-guides.

Where Focus East Africa Tours operates

Focus East Africa Tours runs trips across 4 destinations in Tanzania, covering the Northern Circuit. Each park has its own character — from open savannas and forested escarpments to coastal reefs — and Focus East Africa Tours tailors itineraries around what you most want to see.

  • Ngorongoro · Northern Circuit — The world's largest intact volcanic caldera — a natural enclosure for lions, elephants, and the rare black rhino.
  • Tarangire · Northern Circuit — Tanzania's elephant capital — vast herds gather around the Tarangire River each dry season.
  • Serengeti · Northern Circuit — Africa's greatest wildlife arena — year-round big five safaris and the legendary Great Migration.
  • Lake Manyara · Northern Circuit — A compact, diverse park famous for tree-climbing lions, flamingos, and dramatic rift valley scenery.

What you can do with Focus East Africa Tours

This operator specialises in wildlife safari, cultural tours, walking safari, mountain trekking, bird watching, and chimpanzee trekking. Trips can be combined into a single multi-stop itinerary or booked as standalone experiences.

  • Wildlife Safari — The classic East African experience — tracking lions, elephants, leopards, and the full Big Five across Tanzania's vast savannas and woodlands.
  • Cultural Tours — Tanzania's cultural fabric is one of its most underrated attractions — over 120 ethnic groups, a rich Swahili coastal heritage, Maasai and Hadzabe communities, medieval sultanate ruins, and some of East Africa's most vibrant markets and arts scenes.
  • Walking Safari — Experience Africa at ground level — walking safaris with armed rangers and professional field guides reveal the bush in ways that no vehicle ever can.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Chimpanzee Trekking — Track habituated wild chimpanzees through the forest — an intimate wildlife encounter unlike any other.
