Where Shambaa Eco Tours operates

Shambaa Eco Tours runs trips across 2 destinations in Tanzania, covering the Tanga Region and Kilimanjaro & Tanga Region. Each park has its own character — from open savannas and forested escarpments to coastal reefs — and Shambaa Eco Tours tailors itineraries around what you most want to see.

• Lushoto · Tanga Region — A cool highland town in the West Usambara Mountains — Tanzania's best-kept hiking secret, with village-to-village treks, endemic birds, and a refreshing escape from the heat.
• Mkomazi National Park · Kilimanjaro & Tanga Region — A recovering wilderness park near Kilimanjaro — home to Tanzania's black rhino sanctuary and wild dogs.

What you can do with Shambaa Eco Tours

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

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Cycling Tours — Explore Tanzania on two wheels — from the misty highland tracks of the Usambara Mountains to the flat coastal paths near Bagamoyo and the lanes of Zanzibar.
