| Dorobo
Safaris was originated in the early 1980s in Arusha, Tanzania. Since
its beginning, Dorobo has based its adventure travel on the philosophy
that our natural environments (and wilderness and wildlife) are
intimately and irrevocably linked to people - both locally and
globally. Dorobo has designed unique wilderness travel for individuals
and groups. Their background in the natural sciences along with their
knowledge of the peoples of East Africa provide stimulating educational
experiences. African cultures are serendipitously met while on camping
and walking safaris in wilderness areas of Tanzania. These special
adventures engage participants in issues of ecology, culture and
development. Dorobo is proud of all their wilderness-trained, English and Swahili speaking staff. They cook and serve the freshest camp fare of locally available ingredients. |
We offer a wide range of safari options from National Parks with hotel stays to more rugged camping and walking safaris. Our itineraries are designed for the expressed interests of individuals and groups, tailored to the level of physical activity desired. |

Dorobo's focus on
establishing partnerships with
local communities led naturally to the formation of Dorobo Fund for
Tanzania, a 501.c3 non-profit organization committed to educating and
empowering
communities to sustainably manage their natural resources. Our mission
has two parts:
- To assist local villages take charge by promoting sustainable community-based natural resource management.
- To promote educational and leadership
development opportunities for young people, especially women, who are
motivated to lead positive change.
