About us
A Tanzanian team, based in Moshi
Einoti Safaris is an independent Tanzanian company based in Moshi, at the foot of Kilimanjaro. We plan and run private safaris, mountain treks and day trips ourselves — the guide who meets you at the airport works for us, and so does the vehicle you travel in.
Who we are
Wilson Sangeti Mollel founded Einoti Safaris after more than fifteen years guiding Tanzania's mountains and parks. He grew up within the Maasai community near Arusha, and that background shapes how the company works: the people you meet on a cultural visit are neighbours, not a scheduled stop. The office is in Moshi and the team — guides, mountain crew, cooks and planners — is Tanzanian.
How we plan
We do not sell fixed departures. Every itinerary on this site is a starting point that we expect to change once we know who is travelling, how long you have and what you actually want out of the days. Tell us you would rather sit with one leopard for an hour than see six parks, and we will build that trip instead.
On the mountain
Our Kilimanjaro guides are KINAPA-trained and licensed, and chosen as much for how they read a climber as for how well they know the route. They know what acclimatisation is worth and they will keep you walking pole pole - slowly, slowly - which is what actually gets people to the top. The crew are paid the wages agreed by Kilimanjaro National Park (KINAPA) and the Kilimanjaro Association of Tour Operators (KIATO), and that is in the price of every climb. Porters carry within agreed weight limits, eat the same food as the guides and sleep in proper tents. We would rather talk you onto a longer route than sell you a short one that is likely to fail: our success rate is 87% to the crater rim and 70% to Uhuru Peak.
The vehicles
Seven-seater 4x4 Land Cruisers with a pop-up roof, converted for game viewing and sightseeing and maintained for comfort and safety. They carry HF long-range radios so we can always reach each other, cool boxes, first aid kits, and guidebooks to the wildlife, birds and plants of East Africa. They are our own, which is why they are not covered in other operators' logos.
How you book
Every safari and every climb departs daily, with a minimum of two people, so a trip fits your calendar rather than ours. The price depends on the size of the group - more people makes it cheaper per person - so tell us the number when you first write and the quotation you get back will be the right one.
Working locally
The vehicles are ours and maintained here. The camps and lodges we use are chosen because we have stayed in them. Cultural visits are arranged directly with the families involved, with the fee agreed before we arrive, and we ask before anyone photographs anybody.
One team throughout
From the airport welcome to the final farewell, the same people look after you.
Honest advice
If a route or a season is wrong for you, we will say so before you book.
Local benefit
Tanzanian guides, Tanzanian crews, and fees agreed openly with the communities we visit.
We are here
The office is in Moshi and someone is reachable 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for as long as you are in the country.
