We are guides who fell in love with Tanzania — its peaks, its plains and its people. Nestled between Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti, we founded Above The Rim Tours to share that love with the world. Every itinerary we design carries the weight of real experience, not brochure promises.

Tanzania, Through Local Eyes
Born-and-Raised Local Guides

Responsible & Sustainable

Voices from the Trail
Hundreds of adventurers have trusted us with the trip of a lifetime. Here's what they say.
What a life-changing experience climbing Kilimanjaro can be. The support of my guide Aloyce was incredible — his team of porters made my whole trip an experience I will never forget. I would recommend anyone thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro to give Above The Rim Tours a call.
Thank you to everyone at Above The Rim Tours for an amazing Safari. Despite being short on time you ensured we saw the very best — Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. William was an outstanding guide whose expertise and passion for wildlife made every moment unforgettable.
We chose Above The Rim for our honeymoon in Zanzibar and it was absolutely perfect. Every detail was thought through — the spice tour, the dhow sunset cruise, the beach villa. It felt personal, never touristy. We will be back for the Kilimanjaro climb!
