About us

Tanzanian owned,
Arusha based.

We live under Mount Meru and plan the Northern Circuit for a living.

Karibu Rafiki.

We are a Tanzanian, locally-owned company based in P.O. Box 746, Usa-River, Arusha, in the foothills of Mount Meru. We focus on sustainable, eco-friendly tourism that protects the natural ecosystems we travel through, while giving our guests the best possible wildlife viewing in harmony with the land. With over decades of safari guiding experience, we established this company to build a bridge between guests’ safari expectations and nature on its own terms.

A bridge between your expectations and nature itself, on nature’s own terms.

We plan private, customised safari itineraries for individuals, couples, families, and groups who share interests, backgrounds, or common values. We operate across the Northern Circuit of Tanzania, including the Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

We also arrange day trips to tourist attractions, museums, sanctuaries, historical sites, towns, cities, markets, villages, cultural homes, schools, churches, mosques, and temples. From a single-day excursion to a multi-week vacation, our expertise produces tailor-made private itineraries that go beyond expectations.

Our vehicles are 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers, custom-built for safari and configured for the best wildlife viewing and photographing safaris. They are equipped with HF radio communications, universal AC adapter charging, a refrigerator, fully reclining seats, and open roof hatches.

Don’t hesitate to book and travel with us. Karibu sana.

Why Wild by Nature

What makes our safaris different.

Four deliberate choices that shape every itinerary we craft.

01

Private vehicles, always

Just your vehicle, your guide, no shared seats, no compromise, and a schedule that bends to the wildlife, not the other way around.

02

Tanzanian-led, always

Our team knows better the routes the convoys skip, whose stories deserve to be heard. Local knowledge isn’t a feature for us, it’s the whole point.

03

Slow over rushed

We customize itineraries that give you enough time to enjoy the wilderness moments rather than rushing between places or sightings. Wildlife does not perform on schedule, neither should you.

04

Round‑the‑clock support

From the first call to the final airport drop‑off, our team is with you and reachable 24/7.
