Situated in the lush landscapes of Tanzania, between the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara near the town of Karatu, Safariland is more than just a destination – it’s a vibrant celebration of African heritage, offering a window into the rich tapestry of local traditions, stories, and craftsmanship
Punit and Nish, with their deep-rooted love for Tanzania and its treasures, are dedicated to sharing this love with the world.
