The experience

Tanzania is home to more than a hundred and twenty communities, and the ones near the parks are too often reduced to a staged dance at the gate. We work with Maasai, Iraqw, Datoga and Hadzabe partners who host on their own terms, agree what is shared, and are paid directly and fairly.

Real hosts, fairly paid

Community partners set the terms and receive payment directly, not through a middleman.

Small and unstaged

A morning in a homestead or on a hunt, not a performance arranged for a coach party.

Context from your guide

Our guides are Tanzanian and can explain what you are seeing, and why it matters.
