Holiday experience
The Paradise and Wilderness group, a Dutch family-owned hospitality business, has become one of the leading travel, hotel, and safari companies in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Tropical destination
Bert and his wife Ana, who fell in love with the breathtaking destinations of Tanzania and Zanzibar during their holiday, started the business adventure with a dream of making it their life. They recognized the perfect combination of the white sandy beaches of Zanzibar Island and the world-famous National Parks in Tanzania, with their stunning environments and wildlife, which would make for an unforgettable holiday experience. With its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, Zanzibar is the ultimate tropical destination. The organisation's mission is to share this beauty of Africa with as many people as possible.
My holidays in Zanzibar and Tanzania were too short to get to know this magical country, so I stayed here and made my dream my job!
