About Bush Paws Safaris
At Bush Paws Safaris, we believe a safari is more than seeing wildlife—it is about feeling the rhythm of the African wilderness, meeting the people who call it home, and creating memories that stay with you long after you leave Tanzania.
Born and based in Tanzania, Bush Paws Safaris is a locally operated safari company dedicated to creating authentic, private, and carefully crafted journeys across some of East Africa’s most extraordinary landscapes.
From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater and the ancient baobabs of Tarangire, we take you beyond the ordinary and closer to the wild.
Our Story
Bush Paws Safaris was created from a deep love for Tanzania and its incredible wilderness.
Our team is made up of passionate Tanzanians who know these landscapes firsthand. We understand that every traveller is different, which is why we do not believe in one-size-fits-all safaris.
Whether you dream of witnessing the Great Migration, searching for the Big Five, exploring Tanzania with your family, or simply escaping into nature, we take the time to understand what you want from your journey and build the safari around you.
For us, every safari is personal. Every journey has a story.

From your first enquiry to the moment you return home, our team is here to make your experience smooth, comfortable, and memorable. We care about the small details because they become part of your story.

Travel With Purpose
We believe tourism should create positive value for Tanzania. We aim to support local communities, work with local people, and encourage responsible travel that helps protect the wildlife and landscapes we are privileged to share.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to create unforgettable Tanzanian safari experiences while protecting the places and communities that make them possible.
We want every guest to leave Tanzania with more than photographs. We want you to leave with a deeper connection to the wildlife, landscapes, cultures, and people of this incredible country.
Our Vision
To become a trusted name in African safari travel, known for authentic experiences, exceptional local guiding, responsible tourism, and journeys that connect people with the wild.
