Your Safari should be as unique as us

Designed with Passion 🐾

No two travellers are the same, and neither should their safari be. We take the time to understand what inspires you—from wildlife and landscapes to culture, adventure, comfort and pace—and thoughtfully shape each journey around the experiences that matter most to you.

Experience Africa as it truly is.
From untamed wilderness and extraordinary wildlife to meaningful cultural encounters, we seek out genuine experiences that connect you with the heart and soul of East Africa.

RESPONSIBLE

Travel with purpose.
We believe tourism should help protect the places we love. We continually work to reduce water waste, minimize our environmental footprint, and support sustainable solutions that benefit both local communities and the natural world.

PERSONAL

Your dream. Your journey. Your way.
Every safari is handcrafted around you, with personalized touches, thoughtful pacing, and attention to the small details that transform a great trip into an unforgettable one.

Your Safari. Your Way.

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Where our Story Began

Over seven years ago, a veterinary volunteer trip brought Heather from Canada to Tanzania, where she met Heaven. What began as a friendship soon grew into a shared dream of inviting others to experience the Tanzania they had both come to love.

Heaven was raised with a deep connection to Tanzania and its people. With a humble upbringing and a father who spent years working as a safari guide, he developed an extraordinary knowledge of the land, wildlife, and culture from an early age. Today, his warmth, humour, storytelling, and even his gift for singing bring Tanzania to life in a way that makes every journey feel personal and authentic.

After returning to Tanzania many times, Heather knew she wanted to share the soul-moving experience of Africa with others. Together, they created this company to curate memorable adventures, while building opportunities for the communities and people who make Tanzania so special.

Chasing Dreams Safaris is an exceptional organization, run by amazing people who deliver an experience you’ll never forget. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them—in fact, I already have.

From the moment I connected with Heather, I knew I was in good hands. Her prompt communication, thoughtful answers, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence that I had chosen the right company. When unexpected changes came up with my flights, she handled everything seamlessly—extending my stay in Zanzibar, arranging a late check-out, and coordinating airport transfers so I could enjoy a full extra day without any stress.

The safari itself far exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Heaven, was knowledgeable, skilled, funny, and incredibly kind. His passion for what he does made it clear that he wanted us to have the trip of a lifetime. It truly was that—and I can only hope to return one day.

The accommodations selected for us were excellent, a perfect balance of comfort and authenticity. Each location was clean, welcoming, and offered the thrill of being close to wildlife while still feeling completely safe. The staff everywhere took great pride in their work and made sure we were well cared for at every moment.

Chasing Dreams Safaris didn’t just deliver a great trip—they created memories I will cherish forever.

Join Us in Africa

We do group travel differently.

Each year, we offer a select number of thoughtfully curated themed journeys, bringing together a small group of like-minded travellers who share a passion, interest, or sense of adventure.

With typically just 8–12 guests, our group trips are intentionally small, personal, and anything but cookie-cutter. Every journey is designed around its unique theme, with the same attention to detail and authentic experiences we bring to our private safaris.

Come as a stranger. Leave with stories—and perhaps a few new friends.
