ADVENTURE WITH A CAUSE
Africa is a land of high drama, of epic struggle and perpetual rebirth.
To see this continent is to stare life head-on and be humbled by its savage beauty. I hope that one day you will join me and share in the splendor of this majestic paradise.
Safaris & Moore
our Adventures
Our safari is an experience, not a tour. It will captivate your imagination and stir your soul.
Bursting with life, East Africa is one of the Earth’s greatest treasures.
The first time I experienced Africa, it captured my heart. I felt compelled to share this adventure with others. Join me as we embark on this life-changing safari, turning your dream into reality.
"Life is either a grand adventure or nothing."

Activities, excursions and a few surprises
The Zanzibar Archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania, is a breathtaking spot to escape from the world. You’ll enjoy clear, turquoise-blue water; shallow sandbars perfect for wading; and many small, nearly deserted islands virtually unvisited by tourists. Explore
the World Heritage Site of Stone Town, Zanzibar City’s old quarter. Or just go beach to beach between tiny fishing villages—each one's better than the next.
