Our Safari & Trekking Guides

More than guides — they’re your storytellers, trackers, and trusted companions.

At Bearfoot Expeditions, we believe that a guide can make or break your African experience. That’s why we work with some of Tanzania’s most passionate, experienced, and knowledgeable guides—dedicated not just to your safety, but to creating moments you’ll never forget.

Safari Guides – Your Wildlife Experts

Our safari guides are licensed professionals, many of whom have decades of experience leading guests through Tanzania’s iconic parks like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara.

What sets our safari guides apart:

  • Expert wildlife trackers with deep knowledge of animal behavior

  • Fluent in English (and often more than one language)

  • Trained in first aid and emergency response

  • Equipped with binoculars, field guides, and radios for real-time wildlife updates

  • Passionate about conservation and community engagement

“They don’t just show you wildlife—they bring the bush to life with stories, insight, and care.”

Mountain Trekking Guides – Your Pathfinders to the Peaks

Whether you’re climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, exploring Mount Meru, or heading off on a rugged hiking trail, our trekking crew is there to lead, support, and inspire.

Why climbers love our mountain guides:

  • Highly experienced in altitude trekking and Kilimanjaro summits
