A Special Story of Friendship & Adventure

I met my friends Stijn and Nele in 2013 at the Professional Tour Guide School in Arusha, Tanzania, during a student field trip with Go Minus 26. I was very lucky to be selected by the college management, and from that moment, we built a strong and lasting friendship.

In 2015, Stijn and Nele returned to Tanzania and chose to explore the Usambara Mountains in the northeastern part of the country. They became our first guests at Usambara Destination Eco Tours, an organization I founded in 2012 while still at the Tour Guide School. Hosting them was a special milestone in our history, and we were truly honored to share the beauty of Usambara with them.

To this day, Usambara Destination Eco Tours continues to appreciate and thank everyone who chooses us for meaningful and sustainable travel experiences. Your support drives our mission to make tourism impactful for both nature and communities.

Thank you, Stijn and Nele!
And thank you to my wonderful family from the Professional Tour Guide School, Arusha, Tanzania!

A Heartfelt Appreciation to Mr. Amos Lufumbilo

On behalf of the Outreach Tour for Charity Lushoto 2025, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Mr. Amos Lufumbilo, the Owner and Managing Director of Migration Venture Africa Tours and Chairman of Smile Charity Foundation. Your kindness and unwavering support for our charity program through Usambara Destination Eco Tours mean so much to us.

You have always stood by our side as a mentor, offering encouragement and motivation. Your generosity and willingness to contribute, despite the challenges that come with organizing charitable initiatives, inspire us to keep pushing forward. As we all know, the Tour for Charity is supported by only a few dedicated friends who truly believe in making a difference—including myself, Isack Shemkai.

Thank you, Mr. Amos, for your selflessness and for being a beacon of hope in our mission to support those in need. Your impact will always be remembered and appreciated.

With gratitude,
Isack Shemkai

Maasai in Zanzibar are a recognizable presence, often seen in popular tourist areas, beaches, and markets. While the Maasai are originally from mainland Tanzania and Kenya, many have moved to Zanzibar for business, particularly in selling handmade jewelry, crafts, and traditional clothing.

Why Are Maasai in Zanzibar?
1. Business & Tourism – Many Maasai have adapted to Zanzibar’s tourism industry by selling souvenirs, performing traditional dances, and working as security guards at hotels and resorts.
2. Cultural Ambassadors – Tourists are often fascinated by Maasai culture, and some Maasai capitalize on this interest by offering cultural experiences.
3. Seasonal Work & Migration – Some Maasai move between Zanzibar and the mainland, working in different locations depending on opportunities.

Do They Live in Zanzibar Permanently?

Most Maasai in Zanzibar are temporary residents who return to their homelands on the mainland from time to time. However, some have settled permanently, marrying locals and integrating into island life.

Would you like to know about a specific aspect, such as where to meet Maasai in Zanzibar or their business activities?

Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, known for its rich history, white sandy beaches, and vibrant culture. The main island, Unguja, is home to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with winding alleys, historic buildings, and bustling markets. Zanzibar has a unique blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences, reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. The island is famous for its spice farms, earning it the nickname “Spice Island.” Tourism, fishing, and spice production are key economic activities. Zanzibar enjoys a warm tropical climate and is a popular destination for beach lovers and history enthusiasts.
