ABOUT US
History, mission and vision
One of the top tourism, accommodation, and safari businesses in Tanzania and Zanzibar is the Dutch family-owned Paradise and Wilderness.
Bert and his wife Ana visited Tanzania and Zanzibar for a vacation a number of years ago, and they fell in love with both places right away. They understood that the legendary National Parks in Tanzania with their gorgeous surroundings and wildlife and Zanzibar Island's white sand beaches combined the best of both worlds and made for the ideal vacation. Knowing this, they made the decision to follow their ambition and began their entrepreneurial journey. The organization's mission is to have as many people as possible to appreciate Africa's beauty.
The organisation's vision is to help Tanzania's local population by helping to create work opportunities.
“Now, I am lucky enough to have five Beach Resorts, a Boutique Hotel and a private Island on Zanzibar a Safari Lodge in the Selous GR (Nyerere National Park) and several more Safari Lodges located near or in world’s most famous National Parks: Serengeti Ikoma, Serengeti Klein's Gate, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Natron, Lake Manyara, Kilimanjaro and Arusha.”

“My holidays in Tanzania were too short to get to know this magical country, so I stayed here and made my dream my job!”
