- Our story
15 years guiding, one company since 2025.
Janel Safaris was founded in 2025 by a team with more than 15 years of guiding and consulting experience across Tanzania's hospitality industry.
After years spent working inside the industry, the team kept running into the same gaps — rigid itineraries, inconsistent guiding, service that didn't match the price. They decided to build the company they'd always wanted to book with.
We work across the Northern Circuit, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar, and we turn down more bookings than we accept during peak migration months so that vehicle numbers at each sighting stay low.
- How we work
What stays the same every trip.
- 01
Owner-operated
No white-labeling, no resold itineraries. Every trip is planned, quoted, and run by Janel staff.
- 02
Permanent Staffs
Our Staff are salaried, year-round employees — many have been with us over a decade.
- 03
Low vehicle counts
We cap group size and decline peak-season overflow rather than crowd a sighting.
- 04
Conservation-linked
A share of every booking supports anti-poaching and community education partners in the Serengeti ecosystem.
