About Novella

Our Story

Rooted in Tanzania. Loved worldwide.

Novella Safaris was founded in 2005 by a Tanzanian family who grew up under the shadow of Kilimanjaro. Nearly two decades later, we've guided over 4,800 travellers through the Serengeti, up Uhuru Peak and along Zanzibar's white shores — every journey handcrafted, every guide part of our extended family.

Journeys that give back

We believe travel should benefit the places it touches. Every Novella booking supports fair-wage porter treatment, community classrooms, and Tanzania's national park conservation levies.

  • KPAP-certified porter welfare
  • Plastic-free camps & low-impact routing
  • 5% of profits to Novella Foundation
  • 100% Tanzanian-owned & operated
Community project
Sustainability

Novella Foundation

A portion of every booking funds classrooms, clean water and porter welfare in the villages around Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti. Ask us about visiting our projects on your itinerary.

  • 12 schools supported since 2011
  • 400+ porters equipped with cold-weather gear
