Your Local Tanzania Safari Experts in Arusha
Curating journeys from the land we call home
Our Story: Born and Based in Arusha
Beautiful Nature Safaris Is a Tanzanian-owned and operated safari specialist, proudly headquartered in Arusha, the gateway to East Africa’s most iconic wildernesses. Our philosophy is rooted in deep local expertise: we share a country we know intimately like an old friend. Our dedicated focus is exclusively on Tanzania, ensuring every journey is crafted with unparalleled precision and insight into this remarkable land.
This company was founded in by two brothers Nelson Godfrey and Denis Godfrey, a proud Tanzanians who grew up in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. After 6 years of Nelson working as a documentary filmmaker across Tanzania with international tour operators, organisations and other companies, he recognized that the most authentic safari experiences came from guides and communities who called Tanzania home. We started with a mission: to show travelers the Tanzania we know and love, while ensuring every shilling spent supports our local communities.
