About Taswira Africa Safaris
Taswira Africa Safaris are a fully licensed, boutique safari company based in Arusha, in the heart of Northern Tanzania's most iconic wildlife areas including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. We specialise in tailor-made journeys, crafted around who you are, how you like to travel, and what you want to experience.
The company was founded by Caroline and George, who together lead a small, experienced team. Caroline, originally from Australia and the UK, lived in Tanzania for over 13 years and now oversees operations from the UK. George built his career as a professional safari guide and knows Tanzania's wilderness intimately, from its great migrations to its quietest corners. Between them, they bring a depth of local knowledge, personal connection to the country, and a shared commitment to getting every detail right.
Every lodge and tented camp we recommend has been personally visited. Every vehicle is a fully maintained 4WD with a pop-up roof
for exceptional wildlife viewing. Every guide travels with you from start to finish, providing continuity and a genuine connection
throughout your journey. And our team is available around the clock while you are away, so nothing is ever left to chance.
A Taswira safari is built on genuine expertise, personal care, and the kind of local knowledge that only comes from truly knowing a place.
We firmly believe that it is possible, in fact – ESSENTIAL, that tourism is sustainable, ethical and responsible if we are to challenge the current environmental and social issues facing the world. We know that people want to travel and to have new experiences, but we want to challenge the idea of the ‘fast-fashion’ type of tourism, where tourist are crowded together and travelling at such a pace that the small details are missed. Tourism can certainly be damaging to both culture, community and the natural world, but we aim to do things differently so that travellers create minimal impact and in fact have a POSITIVE impact on the environment and local communities.
From the moment you first get in touch with us at Taswira Africa Safaris until you are back at home, our team care about you and your experience in Tanzania. We create highly personalised African Safari tours and offer the very best guest care, understanding that safety, trust and comfort are top priorities for our clients. We do this in a sustainable and ethical way; minimising our environmental impact and supporting the local communities.
We enjoy the details, whether that is making sure a birthday is celebrated in the Serengeti, or a bottle of wine in the room or ensuring that you get the meals you require. Your happiness and comfort is important to us. We know this is a trip of a life-time and we want to make sure it is the best it can be.

Sustainability
We believe in responsible tourism. Our safari practices prioritize environmental conservation, support local communities, and contribute to the preservation of Tanzania's natural heritage
Tailored Experiences
Every traveller is unique, and so are our safari packages. Whether you seek a thrilling wildlife adventure, a romantic getaway, or a family-friendly expedition, we tailor our tours to suit your preferences and interests
Comfort and Safety
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. From well-equipped safari vehicles to carefully selected accommodations, we ensure that your journey is not only exciting but also secure and comfortable
Why travel with us?
Your safety is of utmost importance - All of our clients are provided with medical evacuation insurance in case of a medical emergency, with access to flying doctors.
Our guides are not only qualified professional safari tour guides, but extremely experienced, with a minimum of 10 years working experience and ongoing in-house training and up to date First Aid..
Our vehicles are fully serviced after every trip and we do not do back-to-back safaris with the same vehicles and guides.
We aim to minimise our environmental impact in all areas of our work. We supply each client with a stainless-steel refillable water bottle, rather than single use plastic bottles. Our trips are 100% plastic-free.
Our salaries are higher than the industry average, which is highly unusual in the Tanzanian tourism sector where guides often do not get paid and rely only on tips, which is unethical, insecure for the guides and puts unnecessary pressure on clients. We believe tipping should be at the client’s discretion and an added bonus if you feel so inclined.
We have no limits on distance for the guides, therefore they can travel as far as needed to give the clients the best chance of game-viewing (without the crowds)
We financially support a local charity - Umoja Tanzania, who provide education and development services to vulnerable teenagers.
