Choosing to travel with Jema Safaris & Tours Company Limited means choosing to explore Tanzania responsibly, sustainably, and ethically. As a proudly local tour operator based in Arusha, we believe tourism should benefit not only our guests — but also our wildlife, environment, and communities.
As a trusted safari company offering exceptional wildlife and nature experiences, we understand that Tanzania’s natural treasures — from the endless plains of the Serengeti National Park to the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro — must be protected for future generations. That is why sustainability is at the heart of how we operate.
Prioritising Eco-Friendly Experiences
We carefully select our lodge and camp partners based on responsible environmental practices. We prioritize accommodations that:
- Use solar energy and renewable power sources
- Practice waste reduction and recycling
- Support local employment and sourcing
Our custom-made safaris promote low-impact activities such as walking safaris, cultural visits, hiking, canoeing, and responsible wildlife viewing. We believe in experiences that leave nothing behind but footprints and take nothing but memories.
Supporting Local Communities
Tourism should uplift communities. At Jema Safaris, we actively support:
- Local guides and small suppliers
- Community-based tourism initiatives
- Women and youth employment in tourism
- Cultural preservation programs
Whenever possible, we collaborate with local villages around destinations such as Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park to ensure tourism revenue directly benefits the people who call these areas home.
Environmental Responsibility
Protecting Tanzania’s wildlife and ecosystems is a responsibility we take seriously. We:
- Promote responsible wildlife viewing practices
- Educate guests on conservation awareness
- Reduce plastic usage during safaris
- Encourage proper waste management in all our tours
We also support tree-planting initiatives and conservation awareness programs within the Arusha region, contributing to the long-term protection of our natural heritage.

Our guides, drivers, porters, and office staff are the backbone of Jema Safaris. We are committed to:
- Fair wages and ethical working conditions
- Continuous training and professional development

We work with experienced mountain crews who prioritize both safety and sustainability.
