Parks Adventure is an independent specialist travel company. Parks Adventure have been active in the tour industry in East Africa for more than 25 years and their professionalism and customer focus and care has enabled them to continue and grow. They are backed by a small, committed team of travel professionals who have a passion for what they do.
From the very beginning, the company’s ethos was to offer safaris which were inspiring to travelers, but also brought benefits to the local people, wildlife and environment.
Parks Adventure has a focus on the local people, who, at the time the company began, tended not be getting a fair deal in the world of tourism. They changed this, in the firm belief that local people should benefit from tourism and from their own natural resources.
Parks Adventure is especially proud of the repeat business it has garnered over the years. The director has had the vision to deliver good service at good prices resulting in building good relationships with clients who return yet again for more African adventures. All safaris can be tailor-made and they currently cover the following destinations: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda & Zanzibar and they really do know the places that we sell.

No Boundry Safaris

Tanzania owned
No Boundary Safaris started life specializing in Kilimanjaro treks. We first used this company in 2002. A young couple from the UK contacted us in Arusha and wanted to climb Kilimanjaro. We contacted this safari company and they gave such good service [and continue to give good service] we do not hesitate to recommend them for all your safari needs.
Marco Mtui the MD of No Boundary grew up on Kilimanjaro; to help pay for his schooling he first worked as a porter at the age of 15. Treated shockingly and paid poor wages as a porter Marco understands the plight of current day Kilimanjaro porters and therefore pays his porters a fair wage and ensures they are fed well and have the correct gear for Kilimanjaro climbs.
The key to the success of No Boundary Safaris is the intimate knowledge of the mountain and the V.I.P. service given to climbers and ground staff alike. The team that Marco has put together is professional, ethical and enforce a winning formulae for successful and an enjoyable climbs to the highest point in Africa. We also recommend a cultural visit to Marangu village offering a fun and unique way to spend a pre-climb acclimatization day.
Since 2002 the company has had their main office in Arusha. The company has a fair trade ethos and is Tanzanian owned and run. Offering quality safaris as well as Kilimanjaro treks.
