Our Team

Meet the Tanzanian experts
who bring your
safari to life.

From expert guides and safari planners to drivers, chefs, and guest support specialists, our Tanzania-born team works together to create journeys filled with wildlife, warmth, and stories you will remember forever.

Serengeti African Tours team in Tanzania
Local. Licensed. Loyal.

A team built over
fifteen years in Tanzania.

Serengeti African Tours was founded in Arusha in 2008 to give travellers something the big international operators simply could not: an authentic, expert-led Tanzania experience designed by people who genuinely live here.

Today our team is more than thirty-five strong. Senior guides who have tracked the migration for years. Travel designers who obsess over your dietary needs. Drivers who can spot a leopard in shadow at 200 metres. Each of them is the reason our travellers come home with a story.

A Word From Our Operations Manager

Tanzania is not a destination
to us. It is home.

When you book with us, you do not simply hire a vehicle and a driver. You inherit a small Tanzanian family, one that is invested in making sure your trip becomes the kind of experience that changes how you see the world.

Every detail matters: the route, the guide, the camp, the timing, the first sunrise, and the way you feel cared for from your first message until your final airport transfer.

"Every safari is a privilege. Every guest is a guest of Tanzania."Lucas David, Leader

The faces behind
