There are at least four reasons you should come with us.
We have formed close working partnerships with the best in-country outfitters and the best lodges and camps-outfits that have decades of experience with guests on safari. In addition, we are committed to employing local people to the maximum extent possible. We pay our people well and, just as important, we provide them with training and involve them in our company. They are trusted partners in providing our guests with the best safari experience available in Kenya and Tanzania.

Ethical tourism is one of the cornerstones of our company. Tavares Tours and Travel is committed to travel that provides exciting opportunities for our guests while enriching lives and protecting habitats in East Africa. We support micro-economic development projects with a number of tribal groups in Kenya and Tanzania. These programs allow our guests exclusive entry onto tribal lands while giving local people local control over the way tourism is introduced and the way dollars earned are used. Our programs open up rare opportunities for in-depth exchanges between western culture and traditional African cultures.

Education is one of the cornerstones of Tavares Tours and Travel. On our safaris, you learn by going. It is a highly entertaining process of deepening discovery that we call Natural Learning and it's an integral part of every one of our safaris. As our guides teach you to spot and identify game and track animals, you begin to see with new eyes. You become more curious and observant about animal behaviors, and you begin to understand how all the pieces of the ecosystem fit together. In addition, we can also arrange your safari to give you special access to amazing people who know Africa's depths: researchers, directors of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) tribal councils, and camp owners. At Tavares Tours and Travel we want you to come away with a deeper understanding of an astonishing landscape.
