Thoughtfully Crafted, Positively Impactful
Our responsible safari experiences seamlessly combine Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and the thrill of exploration. Driven by our deep admiration for the region’s wildlife and habitats, we ensure that each journey leaves a positive, lasting impact on both the environment and the communities that graciously welcome us.
Nearly Two Decades of Nurturing Nature
Our path in responsible tourism spans more than a decade, forming the core of African Scenic Safaris. From the start, we recognized the transformative power of ethical travel—both for the habitats we visit and the people who call them home. It’s a privilege to maintain this dedication, knowing our steadfast approach has left meaningful footprints across Tanzania’s breathtaking terrains.
Over the years, we’ve embraced challenges, celebrated milestones, and adapted to the evolving needs of our planet and its communities. This journey has reaffirmed the incredible impact of conscientious travel, prompting even greater respect for the fragile beauty that surrounds us. Our commitment endures, and we invite you to join us in exploring Tanzania with purpose—each step honoring the spirit of responsible tourism and leaving a lasting legacy of positive change.

Our Carbon Tanzania Collaboration
Through our partnership with Carbon Tanzania, we harness the impact of carbon offset initiatives to strengthen our efforts against climate change. By offsetting our emissions, we also help protect Tanzania’s exceptional landscapes and biodiversity.
This shared, forward-thinking approach unites us in a common mission to build a greener planet. Our collaboration stands as a tangible commitment to ensuring a more sustainable future for both people and wildlife.
Ethical Trekking With KPAP, KRTO & IMEC
At African Scenic Safaris, we are committed to ethical, fair, and sustainable trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro. As one of the few KPAP-certified operators, we proudly partner with the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project (KPAP)—an initiative of the Kilimanjaro Responsible Trekking Organization (KRTO) and part of the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC)—to uphold the rights and well-being of the porters who make these climbs possible.
Through this partnership, we ensure:
- Fair Wages & Proper Compensation – Porters receive just pay, preventing exploitation and securing their livelihoods.
- Safe Working Conditions – Adequate gear, food, and accommodations are provided throughout each trek.
- Ethical Load Distribution – Strict weight limits protect porters from overburdening and injury.
- Education & Career Development – Training programs empower porters with financial literacy, language skills, and professional growth.
By choosing African Scenic Safaris, you directly support ethical employment and the long-term sustainability of porter livelihoods. Together with KPAP, KRTO, and IMEC, we are redefining trekking standards—ensuring every journey leaves a positive impact on both people and the mountain.
