Who We Are
Explore Our Story
We are Aron and Miriam – two long-time friends and partners united by a shared passion for Tanzania and authentic travel experiences. Aron is from Tanzania, and Miriam is from Germany. We have known each other for over 15 years as family friends, as Miriam’s parents have been involved in development aid in Tanzania for over 35 years. Miriam has been living in Tanzania for nearly three years now, and together, we have built a small travel agency to bring people from Germany to experience Tanzania far from the usual tourist paths.
What We Do
Our travel agency offers customized and authentic journeys through Tanzania that go beyond typical tourism – these are journeys that immerse you deeply into the local culture and life. Alongside popular destinations like Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro, we focus on the southern region of Tanzania, around Mtwara. Here, our guests can experience the true, unfiltered Tanzania – far from mass tourism, with a focus on genuine connections.
For groups of five or more, we personally accompany our guests throughout the country, serving as experienced guides who foster a deeper connection with Tanzania and its people. Miriam’s young daughter, Lela, also travels with us, being a part of our small group.
