I Dream of Africa

Our story

Christopher Samwel is founder of I Dream of Africa

Christopher was born in the village Momella in the Arusha National Park at the foot of Mt Meru, with Mt Kilimanjaro in view. As a young boy, he walked through this area daily. The stories about this time are fascinating! With all this experience in the bush, with wild animals and a specialisation in birds and habitat, he is simply the ‘Best Buddy in the Bush’ one could wish for on an authentic safari.

I Dream of Africa Ltd is an official registered, local tour operator and member of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) and represented on SafariBookings.com.

Our impact

Visiting Christopher's family in Momella

Benefits of travelling with a local safari company:

Your guide is one of the best in his field; only the best and most experienced guides can afford to start their own safari company. They must be good enough not to depend on the marketing power of a big, mostly foreign-owned, company.

Small locally owned companies are much more flexible during your trip: whenever possible, they will adjust the programme according to your wishes.

Travel locally means supporting locals which makes your travel much more beautiful and sustainable! Each safari booked with I dream of Africa is an investment in their future.
