TanGANYIKA OUTDOOR EXPEDITIONS
Tanganyika Outdoor Expeditions specializes in working with clients to custom tailor safaris, climbs and treks to Tanzania. We prefer not to offer catalog style trips with set dates and itineraries, but rather arrange more personalized adventures suitable to our clients interests and schedule. To keep it personal, we let our clients decide the size of their party; whether it is just a single person, a family group, or a group of friends because Tanganyika Outdoor Expeditions also specializes in small groups.
We enjoy the flexibility this gives us and our clients, and we take full advantage of it.
