About Us - Climb & Sum It Africa

Tanzania's Leading Safari & Kilimanjaro Tour Operator

Expert Local Guides | 15+ Years Experience | Based in Arusha

Est. 2017

Tanzania's Most Trusted Safari & Mountain Trekking Company

Since 2010, we've been guiding adventurers to Tanzania's most iconic destinations. Growing up in Arusha, we witnessed travelers arrive with dreams of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro and experiencing the Serengeti's Great Migration.

But too often, we saw poorly organized safaris, rushed Kilimanjaro climbs, and disappointed travelers. That's when we knew—Tanzania deserved better. Our visitors deserved better.

What started as personally guiding small groups up Kilimanjaro has grown into Climb & Sum It Africa—a premier safari company with expert local guides who treat every guest like family.

Over 15 years and 5,200+ successful Tanzania adventures later, our commitment remains: authentic wildlife safaris, safe Kilimanjaro expeditions, and unforgettable Zanzibar beach holidays.

Meet Our Team

The passionate leaders behind every unforgettable adventure

Innocent Leonard Chami

Kilimanjaro Mountain Lead Guide

Born and raised in Arusha, I've spent my entire life in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. I've summited it over 300 times, not for myself, but to help others achieve their dreams.

Every sunrise at Uhuru Peak, every first glimpse of a lion on the Serengeti, every grateful smile from a traveler who thought they couldn't make it—that's why I do this.

"I don't measure success by how many clients we have. I measure it by how many people leave Tanzania saying, 'That changed my life.'"

Benedict Gasper Minja

Tanzania Safari Expert

Growing up near the Serengeti, wildlife conservation has been my passion since childhood. I started as a safari guide at 19, and over the years, I've learned that the best safaris aren't about ticking boxes—they're about genuine connections with nature.

Together with Innocent, we built this company on a simple belief: Tanzania's wonders should be shared responsibly, authentically, and with deep respect for both our guests and our land.

"When you travel with us, you're not just seeing Tanzania—you're experiencing it the way we do. That's the difference."
