About Us – Above the rim tours

OUR STORY

In the heart of Tanzania, nestled between the towering peaks of Kilimanjaro and the vast plains of the Serengeti, we shared a common dream as guides. We had spent years leading adventurers up the slopes of Kilimanjaro and through the wild safaris of the Serengeti. Passionate about our homeland’s beauty and culture, we decided to start Above The Rim Tours.

Thank you to everyone at Above the Rim Tours for an amazing Safari. Despite being short of time you managed to make sure we saw the best of the best. Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. William was an amazing guide whose experience and instinct meant we saw many animals and sights I know other groups missed. Spotting the baby Black Rhino was as amazing as it was rare. It really was the trip of a lifetime. If you want the people who know Safaris: then you want Above the Rim Tours.
