Beyond The Plains Safaris Expands Into Tanzania With New Arusha Office Through Sister Company Serengeti Trails Safaris
The Nairobi-based Kenya safari specialist deepens its East Africa footprint with dedicated Tanzania ground operations, offering travel advisors and international clients a single trusted partner for seamless Kenya and Tanzania safari itineraries.
NAIROBI, Kenya / ARUSHA, Tanzania — June 2026 — Beyond The Plains Safaris, one of East Africa’s most highly rated boutique safari operators, has announced the opening of a dedicated Tanzania office in Arusha through its sister company, Serengeti Trails Safaris. The new operation positions the group as a fully integrated Kenya and Tanzania destination management company (DMC), with in-country teams on the ground in both Nairobi and Arusha.
The Arusha office gives Serengeti Trails Safaris direct, real-time access to Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit — including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara — enabling the group to deliver faster response times, stronger camp and lodge relationships, and more precise itinerary control for Tanzania-routed programmes.
“Tanzania has always been a critical part of the East Africa safari story, and our clients deserve the same depth of local knowledge there that we have built in Kenya over 15 years,” said John Daudi, Director and Founder of Beyond The Plains Safaris. “The Arusha office means we are no longer coordinating Tanzania logistics from a distance. We are there. We are present. That changes the quality of what we can offer.”
What the Expansion Means for Travel Advisors
The opening of the Arusha office is directly significant for international travel advisors and tour operators booking combined Kenya and Tanzania safaris. With a dedicated Tanzania team now in place under the Serengeti Trails Safaris brand, trade partners gain:
- A single point of contact for end-to-end Kenya and Tanzania itinerary design, pricing, and ground operations
- On-the-ground responsiveness in Arusha for real-time camp availability, weather-driven routing decisions, and in-destination client support
- Deeper Serengeti and Ngorongoro expertise, including specialist knowledge of Great Migration timing and positioning across Tanzania’s northern circuit
- Zanzibar extensions coordinated seamlessly from the Tanzania office, combining bush and beach in a single managed programme
The group’s commission programme — offering trade partners up to 16% on qualifying annual volume — applies across all Kenya and Tanzania itineraries, with a dedicated safari planner assigned to every partner agency.
