Everyday Safaris: A Family Business with Family Values

In a world where travel has become increasingly commercialized, finding a company that operates with genuine heart and soul can be rare. Everyday Safaris, a family-run tour company in Tanzania, is one of those rare gems. Built on a foundation of trust, dedication, and a deep love for adventure, we invite you to experience Tanzania through the eyes of a family that has lived and breathed its wonders for generations.

 

Everyday Safaris is a family-owned business led by two sisters and two brothers—Pamela, Silver, Bobby, and Sekunda—who share a passion for showcasing the best of Tanzania. We are a close-knit family dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. Our commitment to exceptional service, personalized attention, and deep respect for nature ensures that every journey is unique and meaningful. At Everyday Safaris, we don’t just guide—we welcome you into our family, offering warmth, authenticity, and a true home away from home while you explore the breathtaking landscapes of Tanzania.

A Legacy of Adventure

Everyday Safaris isn’t just a business—it’s a lifelong passion passed down through generations. Our parents, the late Stephen Eric Lyamuya and his wife, the late Rosemary Augustine Marealle, were pioneers in Tanzanian tourism. They invested in the industry in the early 1980s and founded Babylon Lodge, a renowned hotel on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. They also played a crucial role in organizing some of the earliest climbs of Kilimanjaro.

 

Growing up immersed in Tanzania’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, we developed a profound connection to these breathtaking landscapes—Kilimanjaro, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and beyond. This heritage sets us apart. We don’t just guide you; we welcome you into our extended family, sharing the rich history, stories, and experiences handed down through generations and years.

Family Values, Exceptional Experiences

Everyday Safaris embodies the values that strengthen a family: trust, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of everyone.
