Takims Holidays

“For more than 75 years, our family has been helping travellers discover Tanzania. Today, that same commitment to service, local knowledge and attention to detail remains at the heart of everything we do.”
— Abbas Takim, CEO, Takims Hoildays

Takims Holidays is one of Tanzania's most established destination management companies, with more than 75 years of experience designing and delivering tailor made journeys across the country.

Still family owned and operated by the third generation of the Takim family, the company combines deep local knowledge with a highly experienced team of destination specialists, guides and operational staff. As a member of Serandipians, Takims is recognised amongst the travel industry's leading luxury travel providers and is trusted by many of the world's most respected travel designers and tour operators.

With offices in both Arusha and Dar es Salaam, Takims offers seamless support across Northern and Southern Tanzania, creating bespoke itineraries that extend well beyond the traditional safari circuit. Whether arranging a classic wildlife journey, a privately guided adventure or a highly personalised itinerary, every programme is designed around the individual traveller rather than a fixed collection of camps and lodges.

Independent by nature and destination focused in approach, Takims selects accommodation, experiences and guiding based solely on what best suits each client's interests, ensuring every journey is thoughtfully designed, expertly delivered and uniquely Tanzanian.
