From Maasai herding to safari guiding
We grew up in a Maasai community in northern Tanzania, in the same area that now surrounds the parks we drive through. We left the community on marrying, learned English and then Spanish, and started working as guides.
That was twenty years ago. Two daughters arrived along the way, and we still bless the table before eating in the middle of the Serengeti.
What you cannot learn on a course
Finding animals in the savannah is not luck and it is not the radio. It is knowing which tree a particular pride sleeps in, what hour they come down to drink and where they move when the wind changes. That is years in the same place.
People who have travelled with us always describe the same scene: passing another vehicle going in circles with no idea where to go, while we were already heading straight for the right acacia.
Why we exist
There are a great many safari operators in Tanzania, and most of them sell through agencies in Europe or the United States that add their commission on top of the price.
Our idea is simple: the traveller should talk directly to the person who will be driving the vehicle. We handle everything on this end — accommodation, park entries, activities, routes — and the person who answers you is the person who takes you out. No step in between.
We are not an American company or a European middleman. We are from here, and we are the ones who take you out.
