I’m a mother to a beautiful daughter, a Tanzania safari expert, and someone who loves nature. I’ve traveled extensively across East Africa, discovering incredible animals, stunning landscapes, and welcoming, kind hearted people. I also hold a Master’s degree in Environmental Science because I care deeply about protecting our planet. That’s why I started Zilla, to give you the chance to experience the magic of East Africa while helping to keep it beautiful for generations to come.

We spent our first year building partnerships, forming a strong team, and creating custom journeys rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and warm hospitality.
Then, the unexpected—COVID-19 brought global travel to a standstill. Bookings disappeared. Operations halted. We were forced to strip the business down to its core. It was one of our hardest years.
To stay grounded, we turned to community work. What started as a way to stay active and hopeful became something much more.
As tourism returned, we deepened our support for local community projects. Giving back became a central part of everything we do.
We took a bold step forward and started our own orphanage: Save the Child. We now provide shelter, education, meals, clothing, and most importantly, hope, to young children who represent the future of our communities.

When I first began sharing Tanzania’s incredible landscapes and wildlife, I wanted more than just beautiful memories. My intention was that every trip with us leaves a positive mark. That’s why our safaris are centered on sustainable tourism, supporting the environment, empowering local communities, and celebrating the cultures that make Tanzania extraordinary.
We make sure that every Tanzania safari we create is designed to protect wildlife, preserve nature, and offer our guests meaningful ways to engage with the people and places they visit.
One of the causes closest to my heart is the Shaping Futures Foundation Orphanage, led by the inspiring Catherine Naigisa. This sanctuary provides children with shelter, education, and love, and it inspired us to contribute in ways that transform lives.
Traveling through Tanzania on a safari with us gives you the chance to do more than just see beautiful places, it gives you a chance to make a difference.
Come see the orphanage during your safari. Meet the children, share stories, and see firsthand how your visit helps keep this safe space running. It’s a chance to connect in a real and meaningful way.
You can buy shopping vouchers for essential needs like:
We’ll either deliver these items directly with you, or a trusted team member will shop on your behalf. It’s a simple but powerful way to give support where it’s needed most.
For guests who want to go deeper, you can choose to spend a night at the orphanage. You’ll join in daily life, share meals, and build genuine connections with the children and staff. (Spaces are limited, so early booking is a must!)
I believe that every visit, every voucher, every smile, it all adds up. Supporting the Shaping Futures Foundation makes your safari not just a journey through Tanzania’s landscapes, but a journey of the heart.
Protecting Tanzania’s landscapes goes hand in hand with every safari we host. One of the simplest yet most powerful ways we give back is through tree planting and local conservation programs.
We make it easy for guests to plant a tree during their trip. Whether at the orphanage grounds, in nearby villages, or at local conservation sites, your tree becomes part of a growing legacy.
We partner with local groups and tribes who are dedicated to protecting wildlife corridors, reducing waste, and creating sustainable livelihoods. Guests can meet these groups and directly support their work.
For guests who cannot plant in person, we offer an option to sponsor a tree. You’ll receive photos and updates, ensuring your contribution is rooted in something real.
Taking part in these efforts transforms your safari into more than an adventure, it becomes a chance to protect Tanzania’s natural treasures for generations to come.
Our journey of sustainable tourism doesn’t stop with what we do today. We are constantly looking forward, creating new ways to strengthen communities and protect the natural world that makes Tanzania so unique.
Together, we are reminded that sustainable tourism isn’t just about today, it’s about building tomorrow.
