Meet Paul, the Founder.

My name is Paul, and if you travel with One-Way Tours & Safaris, there's a good chance we'll meet long before your safari begins.

I'll probably be the person answering your questions, helping shape your itinerary, and making sure everything is ready for your arrival.

And if I'm not personally guiding your safari, I'll still be closely involved behind the scenes to ensure your experience runs smoothly.

From Ukerewe Island To The Serengeti

My journey in tourism began long before One-Way Tours & Safaris existed.
Until late 2008, I operated under the name Ukerewe Tourist Destination, helping both local and international visitors discover Ukerewe Island, the largest island in Lake Victoria. During those years, I worked closely with volunteers, travelers, and visitors from around the world, introducing them to a part of Tanzania that few people knew about.
Those experiences taught me something important:
People rarely remember a trip because of the places they visited alone. They remember how those places made them feel and the people they shared them with.
In early 2009, that passion evolved into something bigger.
One-Way Tours & Safaris was born.
Since then, I have had the privilege of organizing safaris and journeys throughout Tanzania and East Africa, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Zanzibar.
More importantly, I have had the opportunity to meet incredible people from all walks of life-families, couples, photographers, medical teams, volunteers, solo travelers, and adventurers pursuing lifelong dreams.

When you contact One-Way Tours & Safaris, you are not speaking with a call center or a booking platform.
You are speaking with someone who understands the destinations, knows the logistics, and genuinely cares about your experience.
Whether your safari lasts one day or two weeks, my goal is always the same:
To help you experience East Africa in a way that feels personal, seamless, and memorable.

Tourism has changed enormously since 2009.
So have travelers.
What hasn't changed is my excitement every time someone decides to visit Tanzania for the first time.
I still enjoy helping guests plan their journeys, answering questions, and hearing their stories after they return home.
Because at the end of the day, this business has never been only about safaris.
It's about people, experiences, and memories that last a lifetime.
Many of our guests arrive as first-time visitors to Tanzania and return home as friends of East Africa.
I look forward to helping you create yours.
