About us

Shah Tours and Travels Ltd was established in 1984 to specialize in adventure holidays in Tanzania. Predominantly centred around Mount Kilimanjaro and the various trekking routes, the company has expanded to include trekking on the lesser known Mount Meru and to encompass wildlife safaris in the Northern Tanzania Game Parks and also beach holidays on the mainland coast and on the island of Zanzibar.

Based in Moshi, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro the company is ideally located to arrange and operate treks on the mountain. Treks start from the company's hotel in the foothills - Mountain Inn, where it is possible to supplement ‘kit' from the company's equipment and clothing hire service. It is important for us to ensure that trekkers who travel with Shah Tours and Travel are fully briefed and equipped so as to have the most enjoyable and successful experience on the mountain.

Personal attention to all our clients over the years has earned Shah Tours and Travel the reputation of being one of the most experienced trekking tour operators in Tanzania. From our experienced mountain guides and porters, to driver guides, safari guides, camping personnel, to our efficient and friendly office staff, all follow the example set by Harshit Shah the Managing Director or as he is known around the world ‘Mr Kilimanjaro'.

We handle all aspects of any type of visit to Tanzania, for visitors from all around the world, who return to us and recommend us to their friends.
