About Us
Backwoods Safari was started by two experienced guides, who are also avid travelers. We hope to share our knowledge and expertise to make your safari successful. We will use our experience to make sure that every detail is taken care of and your trip to Tanzania is a dream come true.
We are also very passionate about conservation and do everything possible to reduce our impact on the planet and the beautiful National Parks of East Africa. We book only ecologically friendly lodges and camping sites on safari and ensure we pack out or dispose of properly any waste created.

Ethical Safari and Trekking
We believe the tourism industry has an obligation and a great opportunity to protect the world’s natural habitats, cultural heritage sites and communities. We actively promote environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Every climb is audited to ensure guides and crew are provided proper salaries, tips, food, equipment and sleeping conditions.
