Your Hosts - Harjot Mann & Premjeet Brar

As a family owned and operated brand with roots in East Africa since the late 1890’s, we want to share our knowledge and experience of this magical country with our guests. We have so much fondness for Tanzania, and that shines through when we welcome our guests.

Our passion for nature and desire to ensure our guests have a real African safari inspired us to custom design, and beautifully furnish each of our camps, creating sustainable and authentic safari experiences.

We remain committed to the conservation of wildlife as it is precisely our greatest resource, and the surrounding communities.

We all have a part to play in protecting this great continent, its untouched wilderness spaces and creating a legacy for the next generation. We want our guests to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience and know Africa as we know it.

Our insights..

Transparency is essential if we are all going to grow and improve together and this is why we have dedicated this section to sharing what we love about each place and its hosts. We work with each of our hosts to improve their guest experiences, sustainability practices and local impact, this is where you can learn more about that along with what still needs to be improved, the measures being taken to ensure our hosts continue to move forward and every now and then we’ll come back to update you on their progress.
