Welcome to Ibuka Africa Tours!

At Ibuka Africa Tours, we specialize in creating unforgettable experiences in Tanzania, focusing on wildlife adventures, Mount Kilimanjaro climbing, relaxing Zanzibar holidays, and enriching cultural tourism. Our founder, Elias Lucas, was born in the northern part of Tanzania, in Arusha the vibrant heart of African tourism. With a university certificate in Wildlife Management from Mweka Wildlife Management, Elias brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our company.

Our Inspiration

Being passionate about adventures, Elias has traveled extensively across the continent of Africa, driven by a desire to witness the beauty of its diverse landscapes, the warmth of its people, and the splendor of its wildlife. Each journey has not only deepened his appreciation for the intricate connections between nature and culture but has also shaped his understanding of what travelers seek when they explore this remarkable continent.

Through his experiences, Elias realized that he wanted to create a company that could fulfill all expectations of tourists while providing them with meaningful experiences during their visit to Tanzania. This vision led to the birth of Ibuka Africa Tours, where we are dedicated to curating exceptional travel experiences that highlight the best of Tanzania.

By working closely with local communities and conservation organizations, we strive to ensure that our tours benefit both the environment and the people who call this land home.

Every one of our guides for Safari and Kilimanjaro is certified as a Wilderness First Responder, and they work for Ibuka Africa. We hold expert workshops on a regular basis to help them advance their knowledge and stay up to date with the latest developments.

Hiring Branded Equipment

Climbers often do not have a complete mountain equipment kit when they arrive at Kilimanjaro. Some people simply want their luggage to weigh as little as possible, while others simply don’t want to spend a single dollar on everything. For Kilimanjaro Gears, we have a rental option that includes the first service until the date.
