Tanzania, the way only
the people here know it
Safaris, gravel adventures and Zanzibar — put together personally by Gerald & Angel from Arusha. No middlemen, no standard route. Just the real Tanzania.
Why Ubuntu
Travel with meaning, not a package price
Ubuntu means: “I am because we are.” That is exactly how we build trips. We put every route together ourselves, with guides we know personally and villages where we are welcome — not because we pay, but because we belong there.
From iconic safaris in the Serengeti to gravel rides at the foot of Kilimanjaro and time out on Zanzibar: it all comes down to real connection with nature, with people and with yourself.
Locally run, not resold
Our office is in Arusha. No middlemen, no call centre — you speak to the people who actually run your trip.
Every route is tailor-made
From luxury lodge to camping under the stars. Your pace, your budget, your dream — we build around it.
Travel with impact
We work with local guides, cooks and villages. Your trip makes the community stronger, not just us.
Reachable 24/7 on the ground
In English or Dutch, day and night, from arrival to departure. Never a call centre.

Travel stories
What travellers write to us afterwards
“We expected a safari. We got a family as well. Angel arranged a visit to her own village — our children will never forget that moment.”
“We did not want a standard safari. Gerald sent a proposal within a day that was spot on — including the gravel route I would never have found myself.”
“Everything arranged, no hassle. Our guide knew every bend and every bird. After two weeks Tanzania no longer felt like a holiday but like coming home.”
