ABOUT ALEX MWAMBA

The Glades of Tanzania Safaris was founded by Alex Mwamba, a professional safari guide who has spent his life exploring Tanzania’s landscapes. Based in the Arusha area — the gateway to the country’s most iconic national parks — Alex has guided travelers across Tanzania for more than two decades.

A LIFETIME GUIDING IN TANZANIA

What started as a passion for wildlife and the outdoors grew into a deep understanding of how safaris truly work: how seasons change the land, how animals move, and how the right pace and choices turn a trip into a lasting experience.

Today, The Glades of Tanzania Safaris reflects Alex’s personal approach to travel — thoughtful, well-paced, and grounded in real experience. When you travel with us, you are directly in contact with Alex. He listens carefully, asks the right questions, and shapes each journey around your wishes, travel style, and expectations. There are no standard packages — every safari is designed from scratch.

A PERSONAL WAY OF WORKING

When you travel with The Glades of Tanzania Safaris, you work directly with Alex. He listens carefully, asks the right questions, and shapes each journey around your wishes, travel style, and expectations. There are no standard packages — every safari is designed from scratch.

Alex is supported by a small team of experienced, locally based professionals who share the same respect for nature and commitment to quality. Guides are knowledgeable, well-trained, and passionate about the wilderness, ensuring a relaxed and rewarding experience on every journey.

 

EXPERIENCE YOU CAN RELY ON

Over the years, Alex has guided a wide range of journeys, from long, expedition-style safaris in remote areas to carefully planned mid-range and luxury experiences combining safari, Kilimanjaro trekking, and Zanzibar. His work has included guiding in demanding environments far from established routes, as well as journeys where comfort, detail, and flow are equally important.

Because Alex has seen Tanzania from every angle, he knows what truly adds value to a journey — and what is better avoided. This insight helps travelers make confident choices, whether it comes to routing, timing, activities, or accommodations.

 

TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE

Whether you are planning your first safari or returning to Tanzania with specific wishes, Alex is there to guide you — not just through the landscapes, but through every decision along the way.

Travel Tanzania with someone who knows the country, respects its rhythm, and takes pride in creating journeys that stay with you long after you return home.
