Travel Tanzania with those who call it home

After more than 20 years guiding across Tanzania, Reuben Lengooyo created Nasila to offer a deeper, more authentic kind of safari, where the people, places and cultures you encounter are as much a part of the journey as the wildlife.

Every safari with Nasila gives back. A portion goes directly to Ewang’an School, which Reuben founded in his home village of Selela to provide free education for local children across Northern Tanzania.

BEYOND THE PARKS

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Every safari offers the chance to visit Ewang’an School, spend a few days in Selela, stay overnight in a traditional Maasai boma, or take part in cultural experiences along the way. It’s a chance to slow down, spend time in the community and experience a side of Tanzania that sits beyond the usual safari circuit.

Our Story

It started with an opportunity

As a young Maasai growing up in Selela, a sponsorship allowed Reuben Lengooyo to continue his education and changed the course of his life. It led him into professional safari guiding and, years later, back home to create Ewang’an School and Nasila from the same belief in what opportunity can make possible.

Reuben is the kind of guide you want for your safari. While you will need luck to see amazing animals, having a guide who knows how to provok it can make the difference. Reuben is of those who use his experience, intelligence and communication with other guides to put you in the right spot. He knows the angle you need for your shot and won’t hesiste to give you different ones. He’ll listen carefully to what you want to see and will manage timing accordindly, which is a clever move considering how huge the area is. His knowledge of the animals will provide an answer to all your questions. Last but not least, his driving skills are insane! Overrall, Spending our safari with Reuben was a bliss. We wish him as much luck as we had for all his projects. Ahsante Sana!

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 4-night safari adventure, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. Rubens the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife and ecosystem, making the drive an educational and thrilling experience. We spotted lions, elephants, and even a rare leopard, all in their natural habitats—truly a photographer's paradise!

We went on a 4-day, 5-night trip with Ruben through the northern and central Serengeti, it was epic! Ruben was an incredible guide—couldn't have asked for anyone better. He brought us up close to all the action and made sure we checked off everything we wanted to see. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
