A different way to experience your African safari
Tanzania is one of the most spectacular destinations in the world to experience an authentic African safari. Renowned for its iconic national parks, exceptional wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes, Tanzania offers a unique experience for nature and adventure lovers.
A safari in Tanzania provides the opportunity to observe the famous Big Nine in their natural habitat, particularly in Serengeti National Park, world-famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration – one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a true Noah’s Ark where thousands of wild animals live together in a unique volcanic setting. The parks of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Selous (Nyerere National Park) perfectly complement any safari itinerary, offering an incredible diversity of landscapes and species.
Tanzania also captivates visitors with its rich culture, the warm hospitality of its people, and the possibility to combine a tailor-made safari with a beach getaway to Zanzibar, famous for its white sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
Whether you are looking for a photographic safari, a family trip, or a bespoke adventure, Tanzania is the ideal destination to enjoy an unforgettable journey into the heart of wild Africa.

Where adventure comes to life
Safari Les 1001 Pattes was born from a passion for Tanzania, wildlife, and authentic travel. After a first unforgettable experience in the field, we decided to create a tailor-made safari agency in Tanzania, founded on human connection, sharing, and respect for nature.
Our journey is built on close collaboration with local French-speaking guides, experts of their country and deeply committed to environmental protection. Each safari is designed to offer a genuine immersion, far from mass tourism, and to create unique memories.
Today, Les 1001 Pattes accompanies travelers from around the world in discovering Tanzania through responsible, personalized, and unforgettable safaris.
The birth of a project driven by a passion for Tanzania
Safari Les 1001 Pattes was born from a deep passion for traveling in Africa, and more specifically for Tanzania, an iconic African safari destination. During our first trips there, discovering Tanzania’s wildlife, vast landscapes, and local culture was an unforgettable experience. This immersion gave birth to our project: to create a safari agency in Tanzania, specializing in tailor-made, authentic, and responsible safaris, designed for travelers seeking meaningful experiences and emotions.
Our travelers ’ experience at the heart of our safaris in Tanzania
Before organizing safari trips in Tanzania, we traveled the country as passionate explorers, encountering wildlife and local communities firsthand. This on-the-ground experience now allows us to understand travelers’ expectations and offer tailor-made safaris in Tanzania, adapted to each person’s pace, interests, and budget. Thanks to our collaboration with experienced French-speaking local guides, we design responsible safaris, far from mass tourism, providing a full immersion and unforgettable memories in Africa.
Omar, a passionate local guide at the heart of our Tanzanian safaris
Omar is much more than a simple guide: he is a French-speaking safari guide in Tanzania, deeply attached to his country, its wildlife, and the sharing of its culture. With many years of on-the-ground experience, he has an intimate knowledge of Tanzanian ecosystems, animal behavior, and the best times to observe wildlife discreetly.
His passion for nature, professionalism, and kindness make him a key member of Safari Les 1001 Pattes. Thanks to his expertise and respectful approach, Omar helps create tailor-made safaris in Tanzania, designed to provide an authentic, safe, and responsible immersion. With him, every journey becomes a unique human experience, filled with encounters, discoveries, and unforgettable memories in the heart of Africa.
A few words from our guide: Omary
My name is Omary Maulid, and I am a father of five.
Born in the city, I grew up in the village of Babati, where I helped my grandfather herd livestock and protect the crops from hippos. When I returned to the city, I tried various small jobs: barber, singer, and illustrator. My teenage years were marked by a difficult relationship with my father, which led me to leave home. I tried my luck in the mines searching for Tanzanite, without success, and later worked in Dar es Salaam under tough conditions.
In 2003, I returned to Arusha to reconcile with my father. In 2004, he financially supported me to attend a tourism school, where I learned French. That same year, I got married, but as our visions of life differed, we eventually divorced. I later remarried and started a family.
I began guiding tourists in 2008, but it wasn’t until 2019 that I could fully work as an independent driver-guide. Passionate about nature and wildlife, I have always dreamed of starting my own business to share my love for the savannah.
Today, that dream has become a reality with Les 1001 Pattes, an adventure I launched with two friends to introduce travelers from around the world to Tanzania.

Un énorme … More merci à Omar notre guide qui était aux petits soins tout au long du voyage, véritable spécialiste de la faune et la flore locale, il a réussi à sortir des sentiers battus et à nous faire découvrir des paysages et des animaux de tout genre ! Des herbivores girafes, zèbres, éléphants aux animaux les plus charismatiques : une lionne et ses lionceaux, deux lions au bord d’une rivière, d’un guépards avec ses petits, et même d’un léopard avec un trophée de chasse, le tout juste devant notre voiture, et à l’abris du reste des touristes !
Les hébergements sont également de très bonne qualité et au coeur des parcs, nous avons même pu voir des zèbres devant notre fenêtre un matin ! -
