Community Impact

Creating sustainable tourism that empowers local communities and protects wildlife

Our Story: Kilimamoja Hot Spring School

We are more than a tourism company. The owners of Pazuri Safari are also the founders of Kilimamoja Hot Spring Pre and Primary School, where we educate more than 360 students, including 180 in our boarding facility.

We firmly believe that tourism revenue should not stay only with companies, but should be distributed throughout the community. Each safari you take not only fills your camera with incredible landscapes, but also your heart with Tanzanian friendships and amazing culture you will discover.

This authentic connection between tourism and education allows us to create genuine experiences while building a better future for our children and communities.

Experiential Tourism through Kipepeo NGO

We operate our safaris through experiential tourism via Kipepeo NGO, ensuring 100% of proceeds go directly to our school and community development projects. This transparent approach guarantees every dollar contributes to meaningful change.
