Where

A Tent With a View (ATWAV) operates in the Serengeti, Saadani and Nyerere (formerly Selous) national parks as well as on the shores of Lake Victoria and Zanzibar Island.

Why

David Guthrie’s passion for wildlife brought him to Tanzania in 1990, where he worked as a guide. Known for his work on elephant conservation and anti-poaching, he also leads ATWAV’s SDG Centres, supporting Zanzibar education, Tanzania’s first girls’ sports academy, and Saadani conservation projects.

What

Using their own small, bespoke safari camps and hotels, ATWAV can operate a plethora of tours throughout Tanzania and arrange all ground handling for groups or tailor-mades. Everything they do is underpinned by clearly articulated sustainable travel goals and their amazing Bush Rover camps need to be seen to be believed.

Who

David Guthrie, a Brit, and Masoud “Masa” Kilanga, a Tanzanian, have been at the very heart of the operation since it all began in 1995. David’s innovative ideas are put into practice by Masa’s amazing engineering skills. Tara joined the team in 2009 and heads up marketing from the UK.

When

ATWAV started when David and Masa opened their first camp in Saadani. In 1999, they opened a second camp in Selous Game Reserve followed by The Zanzibari - a boutique hotel on Zanzibar Island - in 2009. 2017 saw their biggest innovations to date - the Bush Rover Migration Camp in Serengeti and a new camp on Lake Victoria called ‘Little Okavango’.
