Our Story

Born Near Ngorongoro, Built for Travellers

Wetland and grassland on the Ngorongoro Crater floor

Safari Pearl Tanzania started in Karatu, the farming town on the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Three siblings, Dorotea, John and Antila Lulu, grew up watching travellers pass through on the way to the crater. Today they run those trips themselves from their base at Ngaramtoni Chini, Arusha. Lulu means pearl in Swahili. We named the company for our family and for the country we want you to discover: Africa's wild pearl.
