More than a journey
Connection to people, place and purpose
Imagine waking to the golden sun rising over endless savannahs, the soft rustle of grasses, birdsong, and distant calls across the plains.
Milele Journeys invites you to experience Tanzania beyond the traditional safari, through wildlife, culture, meaningful encounters and genuine connections.
This is where Milele Journeys began.
In TingaTinga, at the foot of Kilimanjaro, travel becomes more than a journey — it
becomes connection. A connection to people, culture, and place.
Milele Journeys was born from a close and lasting connection to Tanzania and to the
Maasai community of TingaTinga.
Since 2017, this connection has grown through continuous work and collaboration with
the local community. What began as visits developed into something deeper.
Friendships were formed, trust was built, and over time a shared vision took shape.
Our Story
At the heart of it all is Maasailand English Medium Academy, a school created to give
children in TingaTinga access to education and new opportunities. The school came
first and became the foundation of everything that followed. Your journey helps support
the school and the people behind it.
Later, together with our local partners, Maasailand Milele and Tembo Lodge were
created, not only as a place to stay, but as a way to further support the community.
Today, Milele Journeys invites you into this connection.
Our journeys are created in close collaboration with our local team in Tanzania, who
design and operate each experience with deep knowledge of the land, wildlife, and
culture. Many of those you meet along the way are part of the same community that has
shaped this story from the beginning.
We believe that travel can be more than something you experience. It can be something
you are part of.
We hope to welcome you and to share this journey together.

What Our Travelers Say
Are you looking for authenticity, quality and a personalized experience? After climbing Kilimanjaro, we decided to take a couple of days to relax and explore the amazing nature Tanzania has.

We were not quite sure what to expect, as we have never been in Africa (or Tanzania), never climbed a mountain and never stayed in the raw nature.

This was my first time to visit Africa and I was not sure of what to expect. I can not tell you how life changing my visit was to the Maasailland Milele Tembo Lodge.

From the very first encounter, I was graciously welcomed by the community and the staff. The food was incredibly good with an accomplished chef, who created great meals and snacks in between.

We stayed one night in the Tembo lodge and we can recommend it to everyone. Firstly, Anita and Boniface started the lodge to build and fund a school for the local Maasai children.

We had the opportunity to have a look into their classes and it’s amazing to see how they teach so many kids (570) and give them the opportunity to have an education. They hope to give as many as possible the chance to get into high school.
