Mission

Mission

It all started with a safari of its own.

Package holidays are not our thing.
As a family we are always looking for our own adventure, booking flights, accommodation and tours ourselves and spontaneously. In search of suitable safari partners for our trip to Kenya and Tanzania, we quickly came to appropriate safari tour portals, which are certainly a good alternative to package bookings. The offered tours were often too vague and unclearly described, especially with regard to the location and quality of the accommodations.

So we were glad that we got contact with local guides through Kenyan friends, who put together quite individual and fair tours in Kenya as well as Tanzania at transparent costs. The best part, meanwhile, the two fathers work together closely and allow cross-border safaris in Kenya as well as in Tanzania.

So it is possible to visit the great regions and most famous destinations of the two countries on a safari. Around Nairobi there are some national parks for day trips, as well Nairobi National Park. Lake Nakuru with hippos and 450 species of birds, including 90 waterfowl.Masai Mara National Park, from where you can see the Wildbeast migration Best observed in July and August or January and February. On the Mara River, also called blood flow, into that Mara Triangle with a magnificent landscape and wildlife.

The Border crossing from Kenya's part of the Serengeti to Tanzania Isebania is located west of the Mara Triangle National Park and the ride there is unique over long distances. The handover at the border point is precisely coordinated between the two tour guides. They help you with the customs formalities, so that it continues after about 1 hour while the luggage is reloaded.

From there it goes through small villages south-southeast to the entrance gate of the Serengeti National Parks. There is nothing more indescribable than a night at the camp in the seemingly endless Serengeti. At night, glowing in the sparkling eyes of the hyenas roaming the camp, listening to the roaring of lions at dawn, or watching peacefully grazing zebras eating breakfast.
From there you come to the south Ngorongoro Crater, made famous for its biodiversity by the naturalist Prof. Grzimek and his son Michael. Outside of these most famous national parks, most of them visit Arusha from the Kilimanjaro National Park or the Tarangire National Park ,

This way you can follow the path of the wildebeest within 8-10 days and experience the various vegetation zones with cloud forests and coffee plantations, steppes and savannas.

What exactly is our mission now?
Our two tour guides, Wilson and Kabiru, are both young fathers. Wilson lives in Arusha and belongs to the tribe of the Masai.
Kabiru lives in Nairobi and has years of experience and education as a nature guide and safari guide.
Both love their land and bring useful information and customs of the people and tribes in an authentic way to you.

For our tours our guides drove in rented Toyota Land Cruisers. The largest part of the daily rate for the off-road vehicle was consumed by the high rental fees of the professional, international tourism companies for the vehicles.
The remaining wages for driver and guide were low,

In discussions came quickly the idea to look for lenders, which promote the establishment of micro-enterprises.

Said - Found - Done

At the end of 2018, Wilson and Kabiru were able to take possession of their own off-road Toyota Landcruiser, equipped with safety and comfort equipment for a pleasant safari, and have the opportunity to have their own independent future.
Everyone talks about development aid,
we do something. Helping people help themselves.
And you can support the good cause.
  1. 100% of sales remain in the respective country.
  2. You book and pay directly to the organizer, a small part as deposit and security, the larger part on site, by bank transfer or in cash.

  4. In return, they get an unforgettable trip, according to their ideas regarding duration, itinerary and according to their budget.
We assist you with good tips in making your payment and give you the necessary security of your booking.

You want to help permanently?

For 20 years, we have supported sponsored children in Kenya and Tanzania through World Vision. On our trip, we met our godchildren and part of the World Vision team.

Upon request, we will arrange contact with the local World Vision Team to discuss opportunities for direct assistance from a needy child or project.

When donations gets a face.

It is a moving moment when you meet the people you have been providing for years with monthly small grants and then experience how concrete and effective this aid is in the country and among people.

If 10% of affluent people (including most Central Europeans and North Americans) provided only 1% of their net income for needy purposes, there would be no hunger or extreme poverty in the world and less reason for flight and migration.

Morgengesang

Nothing is more urgent and moving than listening to the morning song of African school classes in the open air.
Singing is a tradition and the melodies get under your skin. Speak to our guides, they have the contacts and like to arrange your personal concert.

feast

Getting to know African families in their normal "home" brings you even closer to the culture. Our guides will arrange a typical dinner with a local family for you. A good opportunity to learn more about the country and to make friends.

clothes donation

It is a good idea to clean up the wardrobe before you travel. Everything stowed in an extra suitcase you can make so many people who their met, a pleasure. Especially children's sizes and also shoes find grateful customers. And so you have an empty suitcase for your souvenirs.

"When the first missionaries came to Africa, they owned the Bible and we owned the land. They asked us to pray.
And we closed our eyes. When we opened them again, the situation was the other way around: we had the Bible and they had the land. "
