Our Story

About Wild Gaze Safaris

Tanzania is a dream destination in every sense — home to unforgettable wildlife and extraordinary scenic beauty. We travel the length and breadth of every destination we recommend to ensure our advice is grounded in firsthand experience, and every supplier in your itinerary is tried and tested. Tanzania is much more than our passion; it's our home.

We are one of Tanzania's most experienced safari operators, offering an exceptional experience at unbeatable value. Mountain climbing and safari are our priorities — we invest significantly in safe, reliable equipment and the best-trained staff in the field. We do not cut corners on safety or service.

Wild Gaze Safaris is owned and operated by Ernest Lugalla and a team of professionals who average more than ten years of experience in safaris and mountain climbing. Our Iringa office serves southern and central Tanzania, with pickups available from Dodoma, Udzungwa, Mikumi, and Dar es Salaam.
