Warrior Trails Guides
On safari, your guide is your tracker, teacher, translator and
friend. Warrior Trails' competent and knowledgeable guides are key to a
fantastic safari experience. Warrior Trail guides were all born and raised in Tanzania and are trained naturalists, environmentalists and unparalleled
game spotters. Having lived a lifetime in Tanzania, they are passionate
about sharing the land they know and love.
Value and Knowledge
Warrior Trails is one of the most capable and trusted safari companies
to work with. All
of our safari operations – tailor made East African Safaris, Wildlife
Lodge/Tented Camp Safaris, Walking/Trekking Expeditions, Cultural Tours
and Beach Holidays - are coordinated through Arusha, the gateway to
Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. This enables us to use our extensive
safari network for detailed, value-added planning of your custom safari
itinerary. We operate using absolute dedication to quality of service,
value for money and cultural integrity.
Comfort and Detail
We have intimate knowledge
of the tented camp and lodge accommodation options available and can make
recommendations to suit the personal styles, interests, budget and needs
of our guests.
We use only 4x4 safari
vehicles which are spacious, comfortable and well maintained, ensuring
that our guests enjoy safe, optimum travel and game viewing experiences.
Community
Projects
Warrior Trails is passionate about providing
opportunities for socio-economic development through ecotourism and
cultural tourism, and to see that tourism presents advantages and enhances
the cultural integrity of indigenous populations.
It is the sincere desire of Warrior Trails
to assist the poor and marginalized indigenous communities in the
conservation corridors of Northern Tanzania. We are proud to support a
number of local initiatives at grassroots levels as our way of
contributing to a holistic approach to global development.
Warrior Walks
The grandeur and beauty of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area owe much to
the reality that the indigenous Maasai pastoralists have coexisted
harmoniously with the fauna and flora of the region for centuries. Who
better than the local Maasai to guide others in exploration and discovery
of their beautiful heartland and the creatures with whom they
coexist?
Warrior
Trails hires trained Maasai Warriors to lead guests through stunning
landscapes and eco-systems that have been formed by centuries of wildlife,
livestock and human interaction. By creating partnerships with Maasai
Warriors, we seek to preserve the beauty of the land in which these
indigenous people live, while protecting and sharing the rich Maasai
culture. Funds raised from Warrior Walks help provide affordable and accessible
healthcare and education to marginalized Maasai communities. Please see
our listing of Warrior Walks
Centre for Disability
Warrior Trails supports the Ngorongoro
District Centre for Disability and it’s innovative Outreach Program,
designed to meet the varied needs of Maasai children with disabilities and
their families.
Maasai culture creates many complex
issues associated with the care of a child with disabilities, yet these
children are among those with the greatest needs. The Centre for
Disability Outreach Program and Parent Support Group have been established
to address these issues. The purpose of the Outreach Program is to
identify families with special needs children and investigate
opportunities for referral and assistance.
Maasai Women Groups
Maasai Women Groups emphasize the
organization of Maasai women around income generating activities in an
effort to move them away from subordination and poverty. In groups, women
are able to pool their resources and implement income earning activities,
resulting in the acquisition of material possessions and assets. In this
way, their decision-making powers are improved, they gain respect in the
community, they are able to feed their children and provide them with
school materials.
Warrior Trails recognizes the need for
experienced Community Development (CD) Officers to work with the Maasai
Women Groups, and the importance of helping the women to change their
social and economic challenges into opportunities. In particular, we are
interested in sponsoring activities that improve the ability of Maasai
women to generate economic opportunities based on their expansive
knowledge of such things as animal husbandry.
