Most women work so much and they need time for retreat and to exchange ideas with others. Women should also travel for change as they are the world who can raise awareness. They are detailed oriented and like educating others. – Maggie Duncan Simbeye, CEO, Maggie’s Tour Company Limited
The Experience
My company, Maggie’s Tour Company Limited, was founded by me in 2000. I am one of only a handful of Tanzanian woman owning and operating their own company.
My extensive knowledge of flora and fauna is delivered with much enthusiasm and a deep understanding that comes from my connection to our local communities and environment.
Embracing culture and ecotourism within our safari tours is an important part of our company ethos.
Any income we get goes back into the communities to benefit conservation. We are a new generation of adventurers and the future of African safaris as women-led expeditions emerge. I work mostly with female guides, of which there are very few here in Tanzania. In a country where the majority of guides and owners have been male only, Maggie and her company are truly part of 21st century Africa.
