A letter from Yasili

Jambo, I'm Yasili Issaka Sued.

I was born near Mutukula Border, where Tanzania meets the world. For ten years I watched tourists rush past, missing the beauty of Lake Victoria and Burigi Park. Every coach kicked up dust and was gone before the lake had a chance to introduce itself.

I learnt the parks slowly — first as a porter on Kilimanjaro, then as a junior guide on the Northern Circuit. I worked the migration crossings, the crater descents, the early mornings when the bush is still cold and the lions are still walking the road.

I started Arusha & Zanzibar Safaris to show you the Tanzania beyond brochures: from Serengeti dust to Zanzibar dhows, and the hidden border gems in between. Every itinerary is built one conversation at a time, by a Tanzanian who'll be there with you on day one.

Karibu sana — welcome to the family.
