Tanzania Safari Planners is more than just a travel company – it’s a family legacy built on a love for nature, wildlife, and authentic cultural experiences. Born in the beautiful region of Arusha, in the heart of Tanzania, The founder grew up with a deep connection to the land and wildlife, raised in the bush as part of the Maasai tribe. From a young age, he developed a unique bond with nature, learning to live in harmony with the wild creatures and landscapes that make Tanzania one of the most extraordinary places on Earth.

Growing up immersed in the wilderness, he learned the importance of preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems, as well as the fascinating behaviors of the animals.

Customer Reviews

It was an amazing 5 day trip with Meshalu. He was a very soft spoken person with keen interest in showing all animals along with giving a lot of information about their habitat. He was very patient in the search for animals and had a very sharp eye in seeing animals from a far distance.
