About
Brave, capable, skilled.That's Hodari
A small company at the foot of Mount Meru, built to do a limited number of journeys properly.
Our story
Hodari was built around one idea: each journey planned and guided with real attention, from start to finish.
Years of guiding across the northern parks taught us the same lesson, over and over. What stays with people afterward comes down to a few things: a guide who truly knows the land, a vehicle that's always in the right place, and a plan that can always adjust to what the day brings.
So we built Hodari around exactly that. We plan every route from Arusha, guide each journey in person, run our own Land Cruisers, and work with a short, hand-picked list of camps we know region by region.
How we work
Six principles we do not bend
Private, always
One guide, one vehicle, your party only. No shared departures, no fixed dates.
Adjusted to you
Journeys shown are a starting point. Pace, routing and length are shaped around you, not the other way around.
Reachable
One person owns your journey from first email to the drive back to the airport.
Honest advice
If your dates are wrong for what you want to see, we will say so before you book.
Local first
Tanzanian guides, Tanzanian suppliers, run from Arusha.
Light on the land
No crowding around animals, no off-roading where it damages, park and conservancy fees paid in full.
