The Northern Legacy
Serengeti • Ngorongoro • Tarangire • Lake Manyara • Arusha
The classic pilgrimage through the cradle of humanity, where the great migration unfolds and the crater holds its own contained world.
Where Italian poise meets the Serengeti.
A collaboration born in 2026. Two cultures, one vision: an elevated safari experience rooted in love, unity, and the spirit of adventure.
Founded 2026
A friendship that became an outfitter.
Osotwa Lemaa Safari began with a friendship between an Italian traveller who never quite left and a Maasai guide whose family has walked and understood these plains for generations. Together, they shared a simple vision: to create meaningful journeys that care for the land, celebrate its people, and leave something good behind. In 2026, that vision became our company.
From Italy we bring hospitality as craft: considered detail, unhurried pace, food and comfort taken seriously. From the Maasai we bring the thing no itinerary can buy — an inherited reading of the land, its seasons, its animals, and its people.
We are a young house, and we mean that as a promise. Every journey we build is made by hand, for one party at a time, with the people whose home this is.
Our Emblem
Osotwa Lemaa: the geometry of connection
Our mark is a circle held together by three ideas. Read it clockwise, from the rising sun, and it tells the story of why we exist.
The Sun: Love
The amber glow represents the warmth of the Tanzanian people and the passion brought from the Italian heart.
The Beads: Unity
Our Maasai beadwork dots symbolize the coming together of two families into one global community.
The Earth: Adventure
The deep brown curve of the earth calls for the bold to step out and witness the raw beauty of the wild.
TANAPA Circuitry
We operate across Tanzania National Parks, from the legendary plains of the North to the untouched wilderness of the South.
Two circuits
The Untamed South
Ruaha • Nyerere (Selous) • Mikumi • Udzungwa
Deep solitude, walking safaris and river encounters in Africa's largest and most remote protected areas.
