Dreaming of an African safari? Reaching the lofty summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro? Diving in the warm, clear waters of Zanzibar or Mafia Island? Or, simply relaxing on the white sandy beach?
Choose between classic safari circuits, mountain trek routes, and diving locations, or create a combination package for your personal tailor-made adventure in Tanzania.
Derived from the Swahili word for “journey,” our aim at TJT is to present the grandeur of the wildlife and landscapes of East Africa in comfort with tailor-made itineraries that will take you beyond the ordinary to provide a glimpse of the loving essence of Mother Africa that will touch your heart and soul.
There is no denying the visceral allure of Mt Kilimanjaro and the awe-inspiring, transcendent call to reach her lofty summit. The magnificent view from the top of Uhuru Peak is the reward, but it is the journey that will transform you.
Conquer the majestic peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world, or opt for a trekking adventure to Mt Meru. Our experienced guides will ensure your safety and provide a rewarding and unforgettable journey.
Half-day, full day, or multi-day excursions can be added on to any Safari, Mountain Treks, or Swahili Coast Diving itinerary. Immerse yourself in local culture or add a little variety to your wildlife and scenic viewing, these excursions are just one more way to make your Tanzanian adventure go beyond the ordinary.
Itineraries are customized to meet your specific interests – wildlife, local culture, birding, geology, history, or relaxation. Expect to be pampered and cared for every step of the way, exploring national parks and game reserves while staying in accommodations suited to your interest – a luxury private lodge or rustic tented camp.
This is a good option for travelers who don’t have the time for our recommended full 5 days safari. On this trip, we take in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.
This safari will take you to Tanzania’s best areas for wildlife viewing. Lake Manyara is scenic and home to many classic African animals plus it’s Tanzania’s premier bird-watching hotspot.
The Great Serengeti migration is the inspiration for our calving season program, which focuses on wildlife movement in search of nourishment.
Tanzania offers the best destinations for exceptional romantic safaris such as honeymoon celebrations, anniversaries or simply spending time together.

He is licensed by the Tanzania Guide Association and registered with the Tanzania Ministry of Tourism. He is also a member of the Kilimanjaro Guide Association. For the past 13 yrs, Victor has shared his knowledge with students at The Professional Guide School in Arusha, Tanzania, helping to develop the next generation of tour specialists.
For Victor, bringing the treasures of Tanzania alive to international visitors is a family tradition he inherited from his father. His passion is fueled by the Tanzanian way of life – nurturing the extended family and leaving a lasting positive impact on others (family, students, community, and guests).
Partnering with Victor in the creation and marketing of TJT, Michaele Bergan is a PADI Dive Instructor and immersive travel enthusiast. Having traveled the globe for business and leisure (mostly dive-related), Michaele landed in Tanzania on a whim only to fall in love with the landscape, wildlife, and people.
TJT combines Michaele’s love for diving and years of business development experience with Victor’s vast knowledge of safaris and mountain treks and in-country connections. The vision is to bring the varied splendor of Tanzania to adventure travelers through tailor-made experiences while nurturing local economic engagement.
With a strong belief in serendipity and things happen for a reason, Michaele has embraced the opportunity to live her best passion- and purposed-filled life by sharing her own transcendent journey to Tanzania – to inform and inspire others to visit Tanzania and open themselves to the soul-stirring experience that is Mother Africa.
