Our Ethics
Responsible Travel
Travel That Respects Wildlife, People & Place
At Afromasai Eastern Safaris, responsible tourism is at the heart of everything we do. As a locally owned Tanzanian company, we believe every safari should protect the wildlife you come to see, support the communities you visit, and leave a positive mark on the places we call home.
From Our Founder
“Animals respect us, and we must respect them in return. Therefore, it is crucial that our guides know how to understand them. Nature balances itself, but when it is disturbed, that balance is shaken and we never want our work to contribute to that.”
— Deus Rimaze, Founder & Owner
Our Commitments
How We Travel Responsibly
Supporting Local Communities
We are committed to operating in a socially and economically responsible way. Our tours are led by local guides, and we actively support local entrepreneurs and business owners throughout our journeys. By working within the community and paying fair wages, we help ensure that tourism revenue stays local and directly benefits the people who call this region home. We also make sure our guides have good working conditions, proper facilities, and reliable compensation.
Respecting Wildlife
All of our guides are highly educated, experienced, and deeply knowledgeable about wildlife and animal behavior. This expertise is essential on safari, where we place strong emphasis on respecting wildlife, following park regulations, and minimizing stress to the animals. Responsible guiding not only protects the environment but also plays a key role in ensuring our guests’ safety.
Sharing Culture With Respect
We also share cultural knowledge with our guests, including local customs, traditions, and what is considered polite and respectful. This helps create positive interactions between visitors and communities, ensuring that everyone involved in the experience feels valued, respected, and comfortable.
