Our Story

Born In Arusha, Built On Trust

Wilderness Moments Tours started in 2012 with a single Land Cruiser and a simple goal: give travelers an honest, unforgettable window into Tanzania. What began as a two-person operation guiding friends-of-friends through the Serengeti has grown into a full-service safari and trekking company — without losing the personal touch that got us here.

Today our team of guides, mountain crew, and travel planners works from our home base in Arusha City, sending guests across the Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern circuits, up Kilimanjaro and Meru, and out to the beaches of Zanzibar, Mafia and Pemba. Every itinerary is still built by hand, for the traveler in front of us.

Good To Know Before You Travel

Health & Safety Information

A few practical essentials our team briefs every guest on before departure.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Requirements

Tanzania itself is a low-risk country for yellow fever, but immigration requires proof of vaccination from travelers arriving from — or transiting more than 12 hours through — a country the WHO classifies as yellow-fever risk. Visitors arriving directly from Europe or the United States are generally exempt. If you cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, a signed exemption letter from your doctor is usually accepted. The vaccine is given as a single dose at least 10 days before travel and provides lifelong protection, so it's worth arranging early. Tell us your nationality and routing when booking and we'll confirm exactly what documentation you'll need.

Flying Doctors Emergency Evacuation

Because our parks and mountain routes are remote, we strongly recommend every guest register with the AMREF Flying Doctors emergency service before traveling. For a small membership fee covering roughly 30 days, it provides 24/7 access to emergency medical advice and, if needed, helicopter evacuation from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda or Burundi to the nearest appropriate hospital — Moshi for Kilimanjaro-area emergencies, or Nairobi for most other locations. It covers the evacuation itself, not hospital treatment afterward, so it should be taken alongside — not instead of — comprehensive travel insurance. We're happy to share sign-up details when you book.
