About us
Laitolya Tours and Safari Ltd is a family owned business established in 1979 by the founder Mr. Joackim Victor Minde who was inspired by his love for nature and wildlife. Mr. Minde loved to tell stories. He was especially good at telling stories of his adventures in Africa, as young boy in Moshi growing up surrounded by nature he felt compelled to share the beauty of Tanzania. One of the pioneers of tourism in Tanzania he started his company in Arusha after recognizing the opportunities to showcase the beautiful Northern Circuit and the Majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro. With over 41 years of experience, he raised his children to embrace the Hospitality and Tourism sector, this second generation family business is set to continue their father’s legacy by providing the ultimate tour and travel experience.
The word LAITOLYA is a word derived from the local Masai tribe, Laitolyan meaning God or a place of worship.
‘LAETOLI’ is a site in Tanzania famous for its hominid footprint preserved in volcanic ash, dating back 3.6 million years, first found by the archeologist Dr. Mary Leakey in 1976. The ‘Laetoli Footprint’ is now found 45km near the Oldupai Gorge also known as the cradle of mankind.
