About Novella

Our Story

Your new story begins here

At Novella Tanzania Safaris and Trekking, we believe every journey is a new story waiting to be written. The name Novella represents a new chapter — a fresh adventure, meaningful experiences, and unforgettable moments created through travel.

Locally owned and proudly Tanzanian, Novella was founded by Upendo Mwanga with a passion for sharing the beauty, culture, and natural wonders of Tanzania with travelers from around the world. We specialize in tailor-made wildlife safaris, mountain trekking, and authentic cultural experiences, creating journeys designed around each guest's interests and expectations.

From the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro to Mount Meru and Ol Doinyo Lengai, and from the vast plains of the Serengeti to the wildlife-rich landscapes of Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, we invite you to discover Tanzania's diverse landscapes and extraordinary wildlife. We also offer authentic cultural experiences around Lake Eyasi, where travelers can connect with local communities and experience a different side of Tanzania.

At Novella, safety is our top priority. We are committed to maintaining high standards of safety throughout every journey, supported by experienced guides, professional mountain crews, careful planning, and attention to detail. Alongside safety, we place great importance on quality service, honesty, reliability, and genuine Tanzanian hospitality.

Beyond travel, we believe tourism can create a positive and lasting impact. That is why we are committed to supporting young talent and creating meaningful employment opportunities within Tanzania's tourism industry, while contributing to the communities that make our destinations so special.

Whether you dream of standing on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, exploring Tanzania's spectacular national parks, climbing Mount Meru or Ol Doinyo Lengai, discovering rich local cultures, or relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar, we are here to turn your travel dreams into meaningful and unforgettable experiences.

With Novella, you are not just visiting Tanzania — you are creating a new story.
