About Us

INTRODUCTION

In essence, properties of the 21st century tourists are plenty of money and little time to spend on leisure. This demands that a destination worth the name must meet the requirements of the day. It must have the capacity to allow the visitor to see as much as possible within a short time.

Tanzania is such a destination. It is blessed with all that a tourist would like to experience on our planet. In a nutshell, Tanzania is where the visitor can get the worth of time and money from world class breathtaking coral wall dives, pristine beaches, exclusive game drives to historical and biosphere sites worth entering in the UNESCO register. And all these are embroidered on the authentic hospitality of more than 120 tribes speaking one language, Kiswahili, and their accompanying diverse and memorable cultural traits.

WHAT`S IN A NAME?

An inquisitive nature lover traveler would be struck by our name, The Loxodanta Africana Tours & Safaris Limited.Why? Because the scientific name of the African elephant is Loxodanta Africana. “Loxodanta” was adapted just for the sake of symphony at its intersection with “Africana” on our former emblem, whose compass shape was by design. With us you can visit attractions dotting the Tanzania map and beyond.

WHY AN ELEPHANT BIASED TRAVEL 

Science has it that the presence of an elephant helps to maintain suitable habitats for a myriad other animal, plant, fish, bird and insect species in African forests and waters. About a third of tree species may need elephants to help with dispersal and germination.

This critical role the African elephant plays in shaping habitats because of its enormous impact on factors ranging from fresh water to forest cover notwithstanding, its population is threatened by selfish and irresponsible human behavior embraced in poaching, illegal ivory trade and insatiable tastes like wearing tusk bracelets.

In an effort to convey the pivotal role of the elephant in nature, “The Loxodanta Africana Tours & Safaris Limited” was incorporated to score a double. That is, to secure conservation for the elephant population while keeping the world entertained in a responsible manner.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US 

In the world of tourism, Tanzania is renowned as the Land of Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and the Serengeti. Definitely, we do not want to receive a visitor, who would leave without getting the feel of these unique attractions on the African continent.

But we, at The Loxodanta Africana Tours & Safaris would make you taste these and other attractions in a rewarding and memorable way that combines tourism with conservation and culture. Tourism today is more than game drives, bird and insect watching or flower marvels. It is about people and their culture, appreciation and respect for nature in all its manifestations.

The climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro will not only take you to the highest peak on the African continent. This five to six-day package also enables the visitor to witness all world climatic conditions in one place besides touching base with the Chagga people living on the mountain slopes, learning their culture, eating and recreating with them. Home stays are possible in the exciting experience of snow at the Equator.

From the top of Africa, one can relax at the sea level in Zanzibar, enjoying the beach, losing oneself in the smallest streets in the world in the historic and UNESCO registered heritage Stone Town, witnessing what turned the famous spice Islands into a melting pot of world cultures. All this evidenced in the rainbow complexions of the people, palaces and their carved doors, museums, and the Swahili Coast culture. Zanzibar is a dream destination for diving enthusiasts because it is home to a quarter of first class World Tourism Organization (WTO) recognized sites in the Pemba channel. Marine parks spice these sites.

Wildlife cravers have no equal for the Serengeti, the Maasai endless plains stage for the World Wonder Annual Animal Migration. More to it is the Ecosystem that embraces the Eighth World Wonder Ngorongoro Crater, the cradle of mankind and unique spot in the world where wildlife and people share their habitats in full harmony.

The Loxodanta Africana Tours & Safaris has more to make a visitor`s stay in Tanzania still more memorable. While people talk of the famous game and wildlife drives, how about game boat sailing in the Rufiji River for a change? This gives one a unique experience that must have escaped British and German cousins who left Europe, only to die in the Rufiji Delta during the last World Wars for their countries` flags.

The delta is full history through which Europeans, in particular, can touch base with their ancestors` past thirst for colonies and spheres of influence.

The Diaspora cannot escape the sensation of a historical voyage on sails from Zanzibar with love for New York in the mid-1840s

When we invite you to comb Tanzania on an elephant, we mean it. Our packages cover all National Parks. Arusha, Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti, Kilimanjaro and Mkomazi in the north. Mikumi, Ruaha, Udzungwa, Kitulo in the south, Katavi, Gombe and Mahale in the west, Saa nane and Rubondo in the north-west Lake Victoria zone, and Saadani, the contact point of land and marine life, spicing the entire east Swahili coast eco, history and cultural attractions.

In our hands, the visitor does not end in Tanzania. Typical of the elephant, we respect no borders when it comes to satisfying the needs of the visitor. Tanzania is the gateway to the great lakes region. It is strategic for any visitor wishing to have the taste of southern Africa. The loxodanta Africana Tours & Safaris can provide tailor-made packages combining, for example, the magnificent Victoria falls of Zimbabwe, other east African countries of Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda, let alone.
