Fortes Africa has a storied history that began in 1980, when a local family of nature enthusiasts and experienced guides in Tanzania came together to share their passion for the country's rich biodiversity and stunning landscapes.
With a vision to provide travellers with authentic and transformative safari experiences, they founded Fortes Africa, a safari company deeply rooted in local expertise and responsible tourism.
Fortes Africa quickly gained recognition for its exceptional service and commitment to sustainability from its humble beginnings as a small local safari operator. Over the years, the company expanded its operations, establishing partnerships with renowned lodges and conservation organizations in the region.
This growth enabled Fortes Africa to offer a diverse range of safari packages, catering to the interests and preferences of every traveller.
