My name is Ndakie. I am from Morogoro town in Tanzania. I started off as a motorbike driver (piki piki in swahili) and I have worked hard to build a more sustainable business for my family (my wife & twin boys and other family members). Now I have a small safari company tour office in the city center. I am so proud of what I have accomplished & constantly working to make it better!

My business is based in Morogoro, a beautiful town at the bottom of Uluguru mountains. They are green hills with small villages, agricultural lands, great hiking trails & amazing waterfalls. It is a beautiful home.

We organize safaris all around Tanzania but mostly in the southern circuit in Mikumi national park, Ruaha national park & Selous game reserve. They are great locations, much less known than Serengeti, where you can have an amazing wildlife experience with less tourists and better prices. We also help organise hiking trips, cultural tours to Masai villages and markets and organise transportation around Tanzania.

This small business has really helped provide more job opportunities for local guides and is starting to bring more tourists to a less explored part of Tanzania. We still have a long way to go, but you can help us get closer.

I am looking to learn from you & your experiences as well as share what I know and introduce you to my amazing country.

A little about my family: My wife is a nurse in one of the hospitals in Morogoro. She works really hard and loves what she does, she is an amazing person. My two sons are twins. Beautiful well behaved boys. We have some extended family also living at the house, it is lively and never boring.
