A Journey of Discovery and Unforgettable Adventures

What began as a holiday became a lifelong passion. Captivated by Tanzania’s stunning landscapes, rich wildlife, and welcoming communities. Bert and Ana knew this was more than just a destination, it was a place they wanted to call home.

Their love for Africa inspired them to create Beach Safari, sharing its beauty and unforgettable experiences with travelers worldwide.

My holidays in Zanzibar and Tanzania were too short to get to know this magical country, so I stayed here and made my dream my job!
