There’s something extraordinary about experiencing Tanzania with the woman who built Wanderful Tanzania from the ground up. When you travel with Susie, you’re not just going on safari—you’re stepping into a soulful journey led by someone who has a deep, heart-first connection to this land. Susie founded Wanderful Tanzania out of pure love and a calling she couldn’t ignore. She believes her purpose is forever tied to Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and untamed beauty—and that purpose comes alive when she’s guiding others through it. A Founder-Led Safari isn’t just next-level luxury; it’s deeply personal, profoundly moving, and something you’ll carry with you long after the dust settles.

What sets a Founder-Led Safari apart is the unparalleled access, personalization, and depth of experience. Every detail is hand-curated by Susie herself, drawing on over 20 years of expertise in Tanzanian travel. From private moments with local communities to exclusive lodges tucked away from the typical tourist track, these journeys are crafted with intention and guided with heart. Susie’s deep relationships across the region open doors most travelers never even know exist—offering a truly immersive, once-in-a-lifetime safari experience.

Susie wasn’t looking for purpose when she first set foot in Tanzania—she was searching for healing. After the sudden and tragic passing of her husband, Morgan, she was navigating life in pieces, unsure of what came next. What began as a change of scenery—a trip they had once planned to take together—turned into a life-altering encounter with the soul of Africa. From the moment she arrived, Susie felt something powerful: a connection to the land, its people, and its rhythms that was too deep to explain and too strong to ignore.

That first safari cracked something open—ushering in light where there had only been grief, and revealing a new calling. Tanzania didn’t just comfort her, it transformed her. And she knew she had to share that magic with others. Wanderful Tanzania was born from that moment, and every safari Susie leads carries the same spirit of connection, love, and awe that she felt on that first journey.

To travel with Susie is to experience Tanzania through the eyes of someone who loves it like family. Her bond with the people, landscapes, and traditions runs soul-deep—and it’s contagious. Whether she’s guiding you across the Serengeti, introducing you to local tribes, or simply sharing a laugh around the fire, Susie shows you not just where Tanzania is on the map, but how it lives in the heart.
