DMC & Partners

For travel agents & tour operators

Your partner on the ground in Tanzania and Kenya.

We are a local team with our head office in Arusha and an office in Dar es Salaam. We run tailor-made safaris for your clients. You keep the client. We make the trip work.

Why agents work with us

Local expertise. Your client relationship.

Trips made for your client

We build individual itineraries and stay away from the standard tour circuits. Send us your client's wishes and we make a route that fits.

Guides in your client's language

Our guides speak English, German, Spanish, Italian and French. They are educators and entertainers.

One company for Kenya and Tanzania

We run our own registered company in Kenya. On a cross-border trip our Kenyan and Tanzanian guides work together. Our representatives help your guests at the border and with the handover between vehicles.

A local company you can talk to

We are privately owned, founded in 2015. You deal with our reservations team, not a call centre.

Common questions

Questions agents ask

Do you publish prices?

Not on this page. We send net rates with the partner information.

How do payments work?

We agree the payment terms with each partner separately.

What if a client cancels?

It depends on how far before arrival it happens and on the rules of the lodges and other suppliers. We put the terms for partners in a written agreement.

Can I use my own brand?

Yes. We can work as a named local partner or under your brand.

Who owns the client?

You do. We do not approach your clients.

Which languages do your guides speak?

English, German, Spanish, Italian and French. Our office works in English.

Do you have your own accommodation?
