Experience Africa Differently!

Slide

Going on safari in Africa is an unforgettable, unique experience offering an exciting mix of wildlife adventures, cultural encounters, and spectacular scenery.
For many, an African safari is the pinnacle of a "bucket-list" vacation, and we believe that genuine experience and expertise are critical when building a quality safari.

Your Once-In-A-Lifetime Adventure

Slide 1

Where do you actually begin if you want to plan a safari? Which country should you choose? When is the best time to go? Will you have to join a big group tour? Will it be too expensive, too time-consuming, and too difficult to plan?
The choices are so vast, how do you ensure that you make the right decision for your safari?

Conservation Focus and Sustainable Approach

Sustainable and responsible tourism is at the heart of Barking Zebra and we truly believe in the power of travel as a force for good.

It is for this reason, we partnered up with properties and companies on the ground that share our vision and are dedicated to sustainability and conservation while making a critical contribution to the communities' well-being and the local environment.
In addition, we work on several projects across Africa, from supporting an orphanage and rescued elephants to an anti-poaching dog patrol unit.

Safaris are vacations where tourists can make a difference by just going on a holiday. Conservation taxes or bed levies can be a great way to fund conservation efforts with a reliable income stream. YOU can make a difference in Africa simply by coming on safari with Barking Zebra and it is our mission to inspire you to do so.

Are Saying

What Our Travelers Are Saying

Slide 1

Our family of five, grandparents, son and spouse, and 10-year-old grandson, was treated to the adventure of a lifetime, thanks to the meticulous planning and execution of Ria and her staff at Barking Zebra Tours. Every detail, airport, pickup and transfer, safari, hike, Maasai Boma visit, was flawlessly executed, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the wonder of Tanzania and its people!
We would urge anyone seeking an unforgettable safari and cultural experience to contact Barking Zebra Tours.

The Cassily Family

Slide 3

We just returned from a safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar with Barking Zebra Tours that took us from the game parks at the foot of Kilimanjaro to the eastern edge of the Serengeti and finally to the shores of the Indian Ocean. It was fantastic. The staff in-country were on top of everything from our arrival at the airport to our final departure. Sharp, very friendly, and well-organized - it made us feel cared for. Our guide was perfect for us - informative, funny, skilled, and caring.
If you are planning to go on safari, this is the company to use. I recommend Barking Zebra without hesitation.

We just experienced a safari of a lifetime. Barking Zebra Tours exceeded our wildest expectations, from the meticulous organizational skills of Ria, who planned the structure to the most minute detail, to the incredible source of knowledge and understanding of the Serengeti, of our guide and driver Godson, and our exemplary facilitator Emmanuel, who met us at Kilimanjaro Airport.
The Barking Zebra team not only provided a 'best in the industry' service and attention to detail, but made sure that all of our needs were met. Without hesitation, we recommend Barking Zebra to anyone seeking a unique safari adventure.

Our Tanzanian Safari and Zanzibar Beach Honeymoon with Barking Zebra was Priceless! Every attention to detail was addressed to customize our experience from the style of lodging, to our most unique and unforgettable 2nd wedding celebration with the Maasai. We enjoyed every moment of planning our Honeymoon with Ria.
We even came home from our honeymoon with a little “Made in Africa” baby surprise!
Thank You, Barking Zebra, for creating a trip we will always recall with fondness and utter joy!

Slide 4

This was a trip of a lifetime! The whole team from Barking Zebra was excellent. We were well cared for from the moment our plane landed until we left at the end of our magical trip. Thank you Ria for your attention to detail in selecting all the wonderful places that we stayed. Every place was perfect. From the beautiful Mphingo Ridge, the tents on the Serengeti and the over the top Mahale experience......all were amazing!
