Meet the Team Behind Your Safari
Tanzania is 9,000 miles from home. The team behind your safari is what makes that distance feel small — U.S.-based planners who design the trip, and an Arusha operations team that runs it on the ground.
American-run · Arusha ground operations · Same planner from first call to homecoming
Quick Answer
One Team, Two Places, the Same Planner Throughout.
EXG Safaris runs as one team in two places: U.S.-based safari planners who design your route, lodges, and pricing, and an Arusha, Tanzania operations team that coordinates guides, vehicles, lodges, and flights on the ground.
The same named planner stays with you from first call to homecoming.

Why It Matters
Who Actually Plans My Safari?
A named U.S.-based safari expert — the same person from your first question to your homecoming. No outsourced support, no ticket queue, no re-explaining your trip to someone new each call.
Behind that planner sits the Arusha operations team, handling vehicles, guides, lodges, and flights so each day on safari flows. Planner and ground team share every detail of your file — nothing falls between the two worlds.
One team, two continents, one connected handoff.
