Real Life Adventure Travel

About Us

Karibu! Welcome!

Fredrick Chikima

Welcome to Real Life Adventure Travel! We specialize in climbing, wildlife, cultural and beach safaris in Tanzania and East Africa.   Real Life Adventure Travel was started by Fredrick Chikima, one of the most sought after guides in Tanzania for his knowledge and expertise and the first Tanzanian to summit Aconcagua.  We are based in Tanzania with an office in the USA to better serve our clients.
Our goal is to give you an insider’s view of Tanzania while at the same time helping the people and communities of Tanzania. A percentage of each booking goes back into the local communities to fund self-sufficiency programs like sewing schools and other vocational training.

We believe in providing excellent service and quality for a good price. We keep our group size small so that you can enjoy a more intimate experience. We offer both group and custom designed /private trips.

Kilimanjaro Climbs

Robin Felix

We climb all routes; however, we specialize in the lesser traveled routes like Lemosho, Kibo Circuit, Western Breach, Crater Camp, and Rongai. We are part of the IMEC Partnership for Responsible Travel/Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project.

Safety is our top priority which is why our guide to climber ratio is usually 1 guide to 2 climbers! We carry oxygen and hyperbaric chambers for emergencies.  Our equipment is top notch and all our guides have attended guiding school, are licensed and speak English as well as other languages.

Wildlife Safaris

We offer Safari trips in Tanzania’s Northern and Southern parks, as well as Primate Adventures in Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda. We use only professional guides who know the animals, birds, flora and fauna. The camps and lodges we use provide top notch service and believe in giving back to their surrounding villages/areas.

Cultural Safaris

These adventures give you the opportunity to experience the rich and diverse culture of Tanzania. The insiders view! Visit a Chagga village, take a donkey trek with the Maasai or spend time learning about the hunting and gathering ways of the Wahadzabe Tribe. All our guides are from the local tribes so that the encounters and experience are real life and genuine.

Beach Safaris

A trip to Tanzania is not complete without visiting one of its beautiful coastal or island beaches. We arrange trips to the mainland coast or the islands of Pemba or Zanzibar for a bit of relaxation prior to returning home from your Tanzanian adventure.
