Solidarity Tourism – eramatare experience

Travel with responsibility

When we travel to areas with no previous tourist activity, we do so humbly, engaging with the very simple way of life of the locals and making do with the related limited offerings they can provide us. We contribute to job creation and women’s empowerment through our small group travels, while maintaining the authenticity of the local people.

When possible, we stop at restaurants run by locals

During our trips we promote local initiative

The profits of our travel company support our charity association “Eramatare, development organization for families in Tanzania” especially the construction of an English Primary School for Maasai children in Engaruka and the maintenance of the running school.
