I am Elibariki Qwarda Girgis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Grand World Tours, a professionally established safari and travel company operating across Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar. My journey in the tourism industry is deeply rooted in a lifelong passion for wildlife, nature, and the rich cultural heritage of East Africa. Over the years, this passion has evolved into a professional mission: to create meaningful, authentic, and highly personalized travel experiences for guests from all over the world.

My career began in the field as a safari guide in Tanzania, where I spent years exploring some of Africa’s most iconic and diverse ecosystems, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and many remote conservation areas. Working directly in the field gave me invaluable, hands-on knowledge of wildlife behavior, migration patterns, and ecosystem dynamics. It also allowed me to understand the expectations, emotions, and travel aspirations of international visitors seeking more than just a holiday—but a true African experience.

Throughout my professional journey, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with established safari and travel companies, where I developed strong expertise in guiding, itinerary design, guest relations, and operational coordination. These experiences shaped my understanding of what defines excellence in safari travel: precision, safety, storytelling, cultural authenticity, and above all, personalized attention to each traveler’s needs.

Fluent in English, Italian, and conversational Spanish, I have built strong connections with guests from different cultures and backgrounds. This multilingual ability has helped me bridge cultures, communicate Africa’s beauty more effectively, and ensure every guest feels welcomed, understood, and fully immersed in their journey.

The establishment of Grand World Tours was driven by a clear vision: to redefine safari travel by combining professionalism, authenticity, and deep local expertise. Today, the company operates across Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar, offering a wide range of tailor-made experiences—from classic wildlife safaris in the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, to cultural encounters with local communities, and relaxing beach escapes in Zanzibar’s pristine coastal paradise.

Each itinerary is personally crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that every journey reflects the unique interests, pace, and expectations of each traveler. Whether it is witnessing the Great Migration in Tanzania and Kenya, exploring the vast savannahs of East Africa, or enjoying the turquoise waters and spice culture of Zanzibar, Grand World Tours is committed to delivering seamless, safe, and unforgettable experiences.

As CEO, my mission is to continuously elevate the standard of travel in East Africa by combining expert guiding, cultural insight, and exceptional service. I remain dedicated to ensuring that every guest who travels with us does not simply visit Africa, but truly experiences its heart, soul, and timeless beauty in a way that leaves a lasting impression for a lifetime.
