About us

Built on firsthand knowledge of Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar — and a passion for getting every journey right

Where Firsthand Knowledge Meets Every Journey

We know this ground because we’ve walked it. Grand World Tours was founded by a professional safari guide who spent years living and working across the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara — long before it became a company.

That firsthand knowledge shapes every itinerary we build today. From the golden plains of the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, to the turquoise shores of Zanzibar, every journey across Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar is designed by people who know these places as home, not just a destination.

For those chasing higher ground, we lead treks up Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, and the remote volcanic slopes of Ol Doinyo Lengai — routes we know well, paced for you, not a schedule.

Every trip is tailor-made: expert local guides, hand-picked camps and lodges, and logistics handled so completely that all that’s left for you to do is show up.

Luxury safari, family adventure, honeymoon escape, cultural immersion, or high-altitude challenge — tell us what you’re after, and we’ll build it around you.

Meet The Guide Behind Grand World Tours

Elibariki Qwarda Girgis
Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Grand World Tours

My journey began where Africa is truly experienced—in the wilderness. As a professional safari guide in Tanzania, I spent years exploring the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and beyond, developing a deep understanding of the wildlife, the land, and the people that make East Africa extraordinary.

Those years in the field taught me that a great journey is about more than seeing wildlife or visiting beautiful places. It is about the stories, the people, the emotions, and the moments you remember forever.

I founded Grand World Tours with a simple vision: to create authentic, personalized, and exceptional African journeys built around each traveler. Today, we operate across Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar, with trusted DMC services in Uganda, Namibia, and South Africa.

My promise is this: to combine genuine African expertise with professional service, thoughtful planning, and warm hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, cared for, and inspired.

Africa is not just where I work. It is home. And I am passionate about sharing its beauty with the world.

Since 2025

Our Safari Company Story

Grand World Tours was born from a simple idea: to show Africa differently.

What started as one guide’s passion for Tanzania has grown into a trusted African travel company creating unforgettable journeys across Tanzania, Kenya, and Zanzibar, with DMC services and trusted partnerships in Uganda, Namibia, and South Africa.

Along the way, we have built our journey on local knowledge, strong relationships, exceptional service, and a genuine commitment to our travelers. Every experience has taught us to listen better, travel more responsibly, and create journeys that go beyond expectations.

Today, our story continues with every traveler we welcome, every destination we explore, and every memory we help create.

This is our journey. And we would love for you to be part of it.

Grand World Tours — Travel Beyond Expectations.
