Inspired by the immense natural and cultural beauty of his native country Tanzania, Yakobo Laizer founded TRAVELafrica in 2006 compelled to educate visitors about the land, its bounty, the animals and its people while sharing with them a journey of a lifetime. Growing up herding cattle across northern Tanzania in areas like Kia, Longido and Manyara Yakobo spent endless hours walking through both s
afe and unsafe areas of the bush. Due to his inherent Maasai instincts and vast knowledge of his surroundings he is an amazing tracker, which gives him the skills to be a remarkable safari guide.
