His/the whole team purpose is to ensure that your travels with Maape Tanzania Safaris will be the most rewarding safari, remarkable and unique journey you will ever take. Allan and his family lives in Arusha Tanzania but has extensively traveled the World. “I just returned from a fabulous trip to East Africa with Allan Mollel guiding it. I met Allan three years ago when he was the guide on a group tour. When a friend and I decided to make a trip together I contacted Allan to discuss it. He mapped out an itinerary for us to see Tanzania. When I asked him about gorilla trekking he added that into plan. This was all supposed to happen last summer but then COVID-19 interrupted all our lives. He worked it all out and made the change to this summer.

Allan is a fabulous person, a very knowledgeable guide and knows how to make his guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Birds are my passion and he made sure to point out birds all along the way, in addition to all the other wildlife and plants. Allan is very special. Anyone planning to visit Africa would experience a magical adventure with him as the guide “. Dr. Fran Eichler NY”
