1001 Paws Safari was born from Philippe and Stéphanie’s passion for travel and Tanzanian wildlife. In October 2021, their shared dream of exploring the iconic national parks of this fascinating country became a reality. During their safari, they met Omary, an experienced French-speaking guide, who shared their vision: to offer authentic and personalized experiences to travelers, far from the beaten path.
Inspired by this encounter, Philippe, Stéphanie, and Omary decided to create 1001 Paws Safari, a family business dedicated to environmentally responsible safaris. The original name, “1001 Paws,” evokes their first trip to Serengeti National Park and symbolizes the countless paw prints left by Tanzania’s iconic animals: lions, elephants, zebras, and many more.
Today, 1001 Paws Safari continues to grow while maintaining its friendly and family atmosphere. Every trip offered by Les 1001 Pattes Safari is designed to provide a complete immersion in nature, with passionate guides and a warm, authentic approach.
Experience a unique adventure in Tanzania with Les 1001 Pattes Safari and discover the hidden treasures of the African savannah through personalized safaris that combine adventure, respect for the environment, and unforgettable encounters.
