Our Story
Born in Arusha,
Raised by the Land
Scenery of Africa Safaris is a local company with roots deep in the Tanzanian soil. Founded by Solomon Akyoo — a passionate guide and naturalist — our story begins not in a boardroom, but in the bush.
Solomon's love for the wilderness was shaped by two extraordinary men: his grandfather, a keeper of oral traditions and wildlife knowledge passed down through generations, and his father, a dedicated forest reserve officer who spent his life protecting Tanzania's natural heritage.
"When you travel with us, you are not just booking a safari. You are sharing an exceptional Tanzanian experience with people who know this land beyond the usual routes."
— Solomon Akyoo, Founder
Today, our small, extraordinary team of guides carries that same legacy forward — taking travellers to places most tour operators simply cannot reach. Every private game drive, every walking safari, every cultural encounter is shaped by a genuine, unbreakable bond with this land.

What We Stand For
The Principles That Guide Us
01
Authentic Local Knowledge
Every member of our team was born and raised in Tanzania. We don't read about the Serengeti in textbooks — we grew up in its shadow. That intimacy transforms your safari from a guided tour into a genuine discovery.
02
Conservation at Heart
We believe responsible tourism is the most powerful tool for wildlife conservation. A portion of every safari directly supports local conservation projects and community development programmes in the regions we operate.
03
Truly Personalised Journeys
We don't do group packages. Every itinerary is crafted around you — your pace, your interests, your comfort. Whether you want to track lions at dawn or photograph sunsets over the crater rim, your safari follows your rhythm.
04
Radical Transparency
No hidden costs, no unexpected add-ons. From your first enquiry to your final farewell, you always know exactly what you're getting and why. Our pricing is honest because our reputation depends on it.
05
Safety Without Compromise
All our vehicles are purpose-built for safari, inspected before every departure, and equipped with first-aid kits and satellite communication. Your safety is never negotiated — it's the foundation everything else is built upon.
06
After-Hours Support
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — before, during, and after your trip. Whether it's a last-minute itinerary tweak or a question at midnight from the camp, our team picks up the phone.
The Experience
Beyond the Ordinary Safari
We take you to the Tanzania that exists beyond the guidebook — the hidden valleys, the secret waterholes, the migration crossing points known only to those who have watched them for years.
Small Team, Big Adventures
The People Behind Your Safari
We are a compact, deeply experienced team. That is by design — it means every guide
on every safari is someone you can trust completely.
on every safari is someone you can trust completely.
Solomon Akyoo
Founder & Lead Guide
Born in Arusha, Solomon's family legacy spans three generations of conservation. With 10+ years guiding across all Tanzanian circuits, his knowledge of wildlife behaviour and hidden wilderness routes is unmatched.
Godwin Magembe
Senior Safari Guide
Godwin's specialty is the Great Migration — he has tracked the wildebeest herds across the Serengeti for nearly a decade and knows the river crossing points that most guides miss entirely.
Hussein Khalfan
Safari Guide & Birding Specialist
Hussein brings a rare dual expertise — exceptional big-game tracking combined with expert knowledge of Tanzania's 1,100+ bird species. He's the guide serious birders specifically request.
Catherine Damas
Sales & Guest Relations
Catherine is the first voice you'll hear and the person ensuring every detail of your journey is exactly right. Fluent in English, Swahili, and French, she makes every guest feel completely at home before they even arrive.

Solomon took us to places we never would have found alone. The Serengeti at sunrise, the crater at golden hour — every single moment was perfectly timed. Absolutely life-changing.
