About us
A safari company in Arusha, where the roads begin.
Trailheads plans private land safaris across Tanzania from Arusha, the town at the start of the Northern Circuit. One planner looks after your trip from the first message to the drive back to the airport.

Founder
Nishashila Singh
Nishashila Singh founded Trailheads Safaris in Arusha to do one thing well: private road safaris, planned around each family and each budget, with the same care from the first message to the last game drive.
What we do
We run land safaris only, in every park from Tarangire and the Serengeti to Ruaha, with a private vehicle and guide on every trip and lodges chosen for your budget.
We are a sister company of Barafu Tours, founded in 2014 and rated 5.0 on Tripadvisor from 143 reviews. Barafu runs Kilimanjaro climbs and fly-in safaris; Trailheads runs the road safaris. If your plans include both, we put them on one itinerary.
How we work
- Private vehicles only, never shared with strangers
- A named planner who answers on WhatsApp
- Every lodge named in your itinerary before you pay
- Park fees included in every price
- $25 per traveller to The Little Oasis Foundation, paid by us
Travel with purpose
Every safari helps keep a child in school.
$25 from every Trailheads traveller goes to The Little Oasis Foundation, a registered Tanzanian charity (NGO No. 00NGO/R/6520) that keeps children in school around Arusha. It is paid by us, not added to your price.
