The Mindset
When these two BEASTS meet the match is often unfair.. its what most call the…
It’s neither the destination nor the journey, but who you journey with that counts…

At Alama Homestay & Safaris, we believe that travel should be felt, not just seen.
Every journey we create is a blend of untamed wilderness, meaningful human connection, and authentic cultural experiences rooted in Tanzania.
That’s why every safari is personal, flexible, and shaped around you, guided by people who truly call this land home.

Years Of Experience
Tailor-Made Experiences
Personal Approach
No two journeys at Alama are ever the same. Each experience is thoughtfully crafted around the guest, shaped by the rhythm of nature, and guided by genuine connection.
Here are a few of the journeys we’ve had the privilege to share, each one unique, each one unforgettable.
A front-row seat to the Mara River crossings, filled with anticipation, patience, and raw nature.
From the crater’s wildlife to meaningful encounters with local communities.
Slow travel among ancient baobabs and some of Africa’s largest elephant herds.
Markets, cooking, laughter, and shared moments that turn guests into family.
From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, every detail is thoughtfully handled.
We don’t just organize trips we walk the journey with you, ensuring every experience feels seamless, personal, and meaningful.
Not just guiding but storytelling, understanding, and deep connection with nature.
Our guides don’t rush the journey; they shape it around moments that matter.
From carefully selected lodges to our own Alama Homestay, every stay reflects comfort, authenticity, and a sense of belonging.
Travel today can feel rushed, uncertain, and disconnected. At Alama, we do things differently.
We slow down, we listen, and we create journeys that are personal, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.

From the moment you arrive, you are not treated more than a guest as part of us.
We take care of every detail with warmth, attention, and genuine care.

It’s not just about seeing wildlife it’s about the feeling of being there.
The silence, the excitement, the connection… these are the moments that stay with you.

No fixed schedules. No rushed experiences.
Every journey is carefully designed around your pace, your interests, and your story.
From vast open plains to hidden cultural corners, every destination we travel through offers something unique.
These are not just places on a map but living, breathing experiences waiting to be discovered in your own way.

“There is no fixed itinerary only possibilities waiting to unfold.”
No two journeys are ever the same and that’s exactly how we believe it should be.
Share your ideas, your pace, and what you dream of experiencing.
From there, we begin shaping a journey that is truly yours.

Magical Safari and Homestay with Alama Words will lack to describe the experience we got through Alama. It was pure magic. We had a 6 day Safari in Tarangire,Serengeti and Ngorongoro and some days before and after at the Alama Homestay. Everything was well organized with a lot of love to every detail. Every member of the team was caring, client-oriented and professional. They made us fell like we're at home with family. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!Posted on Google![]()

Unvergessliche Reise! Als erstes: Danke, danke, danke an das gesamte Team von Alama! Ich kann es gar nicht richtig in Worte fassen, wie wunderschön und besonders unsere Reise war. Es hat sich von der ersten Minute an nicht wie ein gebuchter Urlaub angefühlt, sondern wie ein Besuch bei guten Freunden und Familie. Ihr alle seid uns in dieser Zeit soo sehr ans Herz gewachsen! Wir waren als Gruppe von sechs Personen unterwegs und dank Alama haben wir nicht nur eine unglaublich aufregende und abwechslungsreiche Safari erlebt, sondern konnten auch eine herrlich entspannte Zeit im Homestay verbringen. Dadurch haben wir die tansanische Kultur hautnah und authentisch kennengelernt. Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön geht an unseren Guide Godson: Er hat uns extrem professionell, sicher und mit viel Kreativität durch die Safari begleitet. Er beherrscht sowohl Deutsch als auch Englisch einwandfrei und kennt die afrikanische Tierwelt in- und auswendig! Aber Godson ist nicht nur der beste Guide, den man sich wünschen kann, sondern auch ein unglaublich warmherziger, humorvoller und toller Mensch. Nach einer Safari mit ihm und so viel gemeinsamem Lachen kommt man garantiert mit einem Sixpack nach Hause 😄 Durch euch alle durften wir Tansania von seiner schönsten Seite erleben und sind auch jetzt zurück zu Hause noch völlig glückselig. Ihr bleibt für immer in unseren Herzen! Ein riesiges Dankeschön an Godson, Anitha, die Kids, Jordan, Jonas, Elisa, Godson II und Frau – danke, dass ihr diese Reise für uns unvergesslich gemacht habt🫶🏽 Wer eine perfekt organisierte, herzliche und authentische Safari in Tansania sucht, ist bei Alama in den allerbesten Händen.

Unforgettable trip I cannot even put into words how beautiful and special our trip was. From the very first minute, it did not feel like a booked vacation, but rather like a visit with good friends and family. You all have grown so dear to our hearts during this time! We were traveling as a group of six people and thanks to Alama we not only experienced an incredibly exciting and varied safari, but were also able to spend a wonderfully relaxing time at the homestay. Through this, we got to know Tanzanian culture up close and authentically. A very special thank you goes to our guide Godson: He accompanied us through the safari extremely professionally, safely, and with a lot of creativity. He speaks both German and English perfectly and knows the African wildlife inside and out! But Godson is not only the best guide one could wish for, but also an incredibly warm-hearted, humorous, and great person. After a safari with him and so much shared laughter, you are guaranteed to come home with a six-pack ;) Thanks to all of you, we were able to experience Tanzania at its most beautiful and are still completely blissful now that we are back home. You will remain in our hearts forever! A huge thank you to Godson and the Alama family – thank you for making this trip unforgettable for us! Anyone looking for a perfectly organized, warm, and authentic safari in Tanzania is in the very best hands with Alama. Highly recommended!Posted on Google![]()

Unsere Safari mit Alama Safaris & Homestay war unbeschreiblich schön. Ein riesiges Dankeschön an das gesamte Team, die super zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und durchweg top organisiert sind! Godson brennt absolut für seinen Job, kennt sich extrem gut aus und spricht sehr gut Deutsch. Dadurch war die Reise auch ohne Englischkenntnisse völlig entspannt und barrierefrei. Neben spektakulären Tierbeobachtungen haben wir durch das Homestay, die Kultur und das fantastische Essen Einblicke bekommen, die man sonst nie erlebt. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an nicht wie ein Gast, sondern wie bei der eigenen Familie. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung – wir kommen definitiv wieder! 🦁Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

More than just safari: Authentic, warm, and absolutely reliable – just like with friends! Anyone planning a trip to Tanzania should put Alama Safaris and the homestay in Arusha at the very top of their list. At no point do you get the feeling of simply being a paying customer at an agency. From day one, you are welcomed with such warmth that it feels like you are a guest with friends or your own family. You can rely on the entire team 100%. As a founder and safari guide, Godson is simply unbeatable: He brings enormous knowledge, has a trained eye for even the most hidden animal, and leads the tours with genuine passion. For travelers from German-speaking countries, he is also a huge stroke of luck: Thanks to his very good German skills, communication is completely effortless, so that even those without fluent English can enjoy the explanations and experiences without restriction. But the highlight is the overall concept: While the safari was simply brilliant, it is above all the extras that make the difference. The team works tirelessly in the background to prepare little surprises for the guests and to make their stay unique. The cozy homestay, the fantastic local food, and the honest, authentic insights into life and culture in Arusha round everything off perfectly. For us, this complete package was an absolute bullseye. Anyone who wants to experience Tanzania in an authentic and personal way is in the right place here!Posted on Google![]()

Wer nach Tansania reist, ist bei Alama Safaris und dem Homestay in Arusha in den allerbesten Händen. Auf das gesamte Team ist absolut Verlass. Von der ersten Minute an fühlt man sich nicht wie bei einem gewöhnlichen Reiseanbieter, sondern wie bei Freunden und Familie. Godson, der Gründer und Guide, ist schlichtweg der beste Safari-Guide, den man sich vorstellen kann: unglaublich kompetent, aufmerksam und mit spürbarer Leidenschaft dabei. Ein riesiger Pluspunkt: Durch seine sehr guten Deutschkenntnisse können hier auch Gäste ohne Englischkenntnisse ein vollkommen unbeschwertes und großartiges Erlebnis genießen. Die Safari selbst war genial organisiert und ein absolutes Highlight. Das Besondere an Alama ist jedoch das Gesamtpaket: Das gesamte Team ist herzlich, zuvorkommend und bemüht sich ununterbrochen im Hintergrund darum, Gäste mit liebevollen Details zu überraschen und jeden Moment besonders zu machen. Auch das Homestay, das fantastische lokale Essen und die authentischen Einblicke in die Kultur und das Leben in Arusha machen diese Reise so einzigartig.

So much more than just a safari trip How do I find the right words for such an impressive trip. We felt very well taken care of from the first moment. With a lot of heart and soul, passion, friendliness, and love from Godson and the entire Alama team. We have already been traveling for 14 days for the 3rd time. We are excited about the new developments at Alama Safaris. Arriving home at Godson's, we were warmly welcomed by the entire Alama Family. A very nice feeling to have arrived. The first evening ended with a cozy dinner. We spent the next day at the homestay and visiting a market in Arusha. Godson also showed us the new work on his home complex. The next car ride headed toward Tarangire. On the drive there, a surprise awaited us (the day before, John had already driven ahead in another vehicle). Wow... there was actually an open vehicle. Everything was reloaded, and so we were out and about in Tarangire Park for 2 days in the open vehicle. Lunch in the park near a herd of elephants. Later, the open vehicle was swapped out again and we continued the drive to the Central Serengeti. His knowledge and intuition regarding the wildlife are unique, and he is a kind-hearted person. Not to forget John, an inquisitive aspiring guide to whom Godson passes on his knowledge and experience. The next surprise follows the next day.. Oh, what is that? So brilliant, a spare tire cover with a photo of our birthday child. Plus a replaceable window. Wow, we can only say... with Alama, every day is a personal highlight with many exciting experiences. We saw so many animals and in some places were completely alone without other vehicles. A serval that was hunting mice. Two lions that had just killed a zebra by the side of the road. A cheetah that was eating its prey a few meters next to our car. With a lot of time and peace, we were able to enjoy these unique moments with Godson and John. Also an impressive visit to the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Return trip to Arusha. To let the last evening fade away at a barbecue with the Alama family and to simply enjoy the many impressions and wonderful moments once again. We are taking a lot with us. Tanzania and its people have a firm place in our hearts. A big thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the entire Alama family.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful trip with friends We were on the road for three weeks with Alama and our guides Godson and John. We were more than just satisfied with both the organization and the accommodations. After having traveled with Godson four years ago, it was like coming home. We experienced wonderful wildlife sightings, exciting encounters with other cultures, and fun experiences with our friends from the Alama family. If we go to Tanzania for a safari again, then certainly only with Alama. We can only recommend Alama to everyone; it is more than "just a safari."Posted on Google![]()

My family came to visit Tanzania and we were recommended Alama by a friend and i simple cannot recommend high enough! The whole experience was simple unforgettable from the moment we arrived at Alama Homestay. There was such a genuine warmth in the welcome, and it immediately felt like we were being invited into something real, not just passing through as tourists. The market visit and cooking experience with the family was one of the most special parts of the trip. It was personal, relaxed and full of connection. It gave us a deeper appreciation for the people, food and everyday life behind the places we were visiting. The safari itself was incredible. We saw lions, elephants and other of the big 5 up close, but what made it even more meaningful was the way our guide, Godson, approached every sighting. He was patient, respectful and deeply knowledgeable. He explained animal behaviour and the natural environment in a way that helped us understand what we were seeing, not just look at it. Nothing felt rushed or forced. The lodges and camps were comfortable and full of atmosphere, and all the small details made a big difference — cold drinks in the car, flexibility when plans shifted, and the smooth organisation throughout the journey. It was the kind of trip that stays with you. Beautiful, grounding, exciting and deeply moving. We left feeling grateful, connected and completely in awe of Tanzania.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

More than a guide — a memory for life. The man the savanna whispers to..... Godi — an exceptional safari guide in Tanzania We came home with full hearts and eyes that still see the savanna. A week with Godi was so much more than a trip — it's an experience our family will carry forever. We saw every animal we had ever dreamed of, most of them thanks to Godi's extraordinary instincts. He always knew exactly where to be and when — as if the wild whispers secrets to him that the rest of us simply cannot hear. During the trip, Godi was everything to us — a guide, a teacher, a father, a mother, and a little kid goofing around and making everyone laugh. His sense of humor is one of a kind, and his laughter — loud, genuine, and completely contagious — could probably be heard all across the savanna. Our kids absolutely loved him. His patience, warmth, and the local stories he shared brought Africa alive for them. We felt safe and cared for throughout the entire week. This is clearly not just a job for him — he genuinely loves this land, and that love is contagious. Highly recommended for any family travelling with children!Posted on Google![]()

Unvergessliche Safari in Tansania – mit unserem Guide Godson Unsere Safari durch Tansania war eines der beeindruckendsten Naturerlebnisse unseres Lebens. Unsere Route führte uns durch den Tarangire Nationalpark, den Ngorongoro-Krater sowie durch die zentrale und nördliche Serengeti. Jeden Tag waren wir vom Sonnenaufgang bis zum Sonnenuntergang unterwegs – und dank Godson konnten wir eine unglaubliche Vielfalt an Tieren erleben. Wir haben tatsächlich alle Tiere gesehen, von denen man bei einer Safari träumt. Dazu gehörten unter anderem Geparden, Leoparden, Löwen, Elefanten und viele weitere Tiere der Big Five, außerdem große Herden von Gnus und Zebras, Hyänen, Giraffen, Flusspferde, Krokodile, Warzenschweine, Impalas und Gazellen. Auch die Vogelwelt war beeindruckend: Strauße, Flamingos und Adler konnten wir aus nächster Nähe beobachten. Ein absolutes Highlight war für uns die Great Migration. Wir waren im September mitten im Geschehen, und es war ein überwältigender Anblick: Millionen von Gnus und Zebras ziehen durch die Serengeti. Dank Godson hatten wir dabei oft die besten Plätze, um dieses unglaubliche Naturschauspiel zu beobachten. Diese Momente waren für uns ein Riesen- und unvergessliches Erlebnis. Was uns besonders fasziniert hat, war Godsons außergewöhnliches Können. Godson hat Safari studiert, und das merkt man sofort. Während er das Fahrzeug sicher durch die Landschaft steuerte, konnte er gleichzeitig die Spuren der Tiere lesen, kleinste Bewegungen in der Ferne erkennen und uns mit fundierten Kenntnissen über alle Tiere vertraut machen. Oft entdeckte er Tiere in weiter Entfernung, während wir noch etwas ratlos in der Gegend herumgeschaut haben – das war wirklich beeindruckend. Seine Fähigkeit, die Natur zu lesen, war faszinierend. Er konnte sogar die Laute vieler Tiere nachmachen, was die Beobachtungen noch intensiver machte. Dank seiner Erfahrung sind wir den Tieren sehr nahe gekommen, ohne sie zu stören. Diese Begegnungen waren für uns jedes Mal atemberaubend. Doch Godson war für uns nicht nur der beste Guide, sondern im Laufe der Reise auch zu einem guten Freund geworden. Er ist freundlich, herzlich und voller Leidenschaft für das, was er tut. Man merkt sofort, dass er seinen Beruf nicht einfach nur ausübt – es ist seine Berufung, ein Guide zu sein. Dass Godson sogar als „Guide des Jahres“ ausgezeichnet wurde, sagt eigentlich schon alles. Godson – wir kommen wieder! Silke S. und Andreas R.+2Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Safari with Godson Unforgettable safari in Tanzania – with our guide Godson Our safari through Tanzania was one of the most impressive nature experiences of our lives. Our route took us through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the central and northern Serengeti. Every day we went from sunrise to sunset – and thanks to Godson we were able to experience an incredible variety of animals. We have actually seen all the animals you dream of on a safari. These included cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants and many other Big Five animals, as well as large herds of wildebeest and zebras, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, warthogs, impalas and gazelles. The birdlife was also impressive: We could observe ostriches, flamingos and eagles up close. An absolute highlight for us was the Great Migration. We were in the thick of the action in September, and it was an overwhelming sight: Millions of wildebeest and zebras roam the Serengeti. Thanks to Godson, we often had the best places to watch this incredible natural spectacle. These moments were a huge and unforgettable experience for us. What fascinated us most was Godson's extraordinary skill. Godson studied safari, and you can tell right away. While steering the vehicle safely through the landscape, he was able to read the tracks of the animals at the same time, detect minute movements in the distance and familiarize us with in-depth knowledge of all animals. He often spotted animals far away while we were still looking around the area at a loss – that was really impressive. His ability to read nature was fascinating. He could even mimic the sounds of many animals, which made the observations even more intense. Thanks to his experience, we got very close to the animals without disturbing them. These encounters were breathtaking for us every time. But Godson was not only the best guide for us, but also a good friend during the journey. He is friendly, warm and passionate about what he does. You can immediately tell that he is not simply practicing his profession – it is his calling to be a guide. The fact that Godson was even named “Guide of the Year” actually says it all. Godson – we will be back! Silke Sonntag and Andreas RömhildtPosted on Tripadvisor![]()
