Ownership
Godfrey Baltazary Lyimo
TALON TOURS & TRAVEL is owned and led by Godfrey Baltazary Lyimo. His path in travel began with mountain hiking and exploring Tanzania’s landscapes on foot — a hands-on love for the peaks, trails, and open country that still shapes how we plan every journey today.
As owner, Godfrey sets the standard for how we work with guests and local partners: clear communication, respect for nature and communities, and itineraries built around what is safe and achievable in the real conditions on the ground.
Contribution to tourism
Guiding with local expertise
Beyond the office, Godfrey’s work is out in the field — leading treks, supporting travelers on route, and sharing the perspective that only comes from years on Tanzania’s mountains and parks. He helps turn ambitious goals into well-paced, well-supported experiences so visitors leave with confidence and lasting memories.
That same guiding ethos flows through TALON TOURS & TRAVEL: we don’t only sell itineraries; we stand behind the quality of execution, from trail safety and timing to the human side of travel that makes a trip feel personal and authentic.
TALON TOURS & TRAVEL began with a passion for adventure through mountain hiking, exploring Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes on foot. That love for nature grew into a mission to share Tanzania’s beauty with travelers worldwide.
Today, we create unforgettable safari and travel experiences across Tanzania — from Serengeti and Ngorongoro to Zanzibar — designed with care, safety, and local expertise.
We don’t just plan trips — we create lifelong memories.
