Scent of Africa is a boutique safari operator based near Mount Kilimanjaro, created to share the magic of Tanzania with travellers who want both authenticity and comfort. We design tailor-made safaris with expert local guides, premium vehicles and carefully planned routes, so every day in the bush feels seamless and unforgettable.

Together with Locomotive Lodge in Usa River, Arusha, we take care of your entire journey – from the first game drive to your last evening under the African sky. Our guests can combine immersive safari days with the relaxed comfort of the lodge, enjoying hot showers, cosy rooms and warm hospitality before and after each adventure.
