In the mid 1960s, the company set-up in Dar es Salaam, and in the1980s, Takims Holidays as it was by then known, opened in Arusha, positioning itself as one of the first Safari Operators in Tanzania.

For 70 years, the Takim family has been intimately involved in developing Tanzania’s Travel and Tourism industry.  Our country-wide presence allows us to offer a seamless holiday experience wherever your itinerary takes you. When you book with us, you have access to a fleet of custom-built safari vehicles, a team of exceptionally qualified guides positioned around the country and the best deals contracted directly with preferred hotels and airlines in the region.

In 2020, Takims Holidays launched www.safari.co.tz, a unique online booking portal exclusively for Residents of Tanzania, who wish to explore our beautiful country.  Residents can now browse online, select their competitively priced dream holiday or experience, complete payment via a choice of online methods and receive digital documentation.
