About Us

Our Story

The story begins when our beloved Father, the Founder of this company, as he embarked on his very first voyage from Tanzania to Israel. Upon his arrival at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in Ethiopia, he found himself in need of a brief respite while awaiting his connecting flight. During this momentary pause, a benevolent Ethiopian resident stepped forward and kindly extended an offer of transportation.

Still situated within the airport's confines, he accepted the kind gesture and proceeded to spend a few hours exploring the enchanting city of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. It was during this short but captivating tour that the inspiration for establishing a tourism company was ignited, with plans to materialize upon his return to Tanzania.

In 2018, the dream took tangible form as our Father inaugurated this company, a family-owned enterprise wholly devoted to delivering premium services to both local residents and international visitors. We stand prepared to be of assistance, and welcome you to embark on your journey with us.

How did the name "tragelaphus" come about..?

During a rejuvenating trip to Ruaha National Park my father with his friends, While exploring the park's vast confines our beloved father had the privilege of observing the elegant spiral-horned antelope, scientifically known as Tragelaphus, while exploring the park's expansive terrain. This tranquil encounter led to a magical moment, and as time passed amidst the park's peaceful surroundings, a brilliant idea took root in his mind

"Could I name my company after this magnificent species, Tragelaphus?" Ultimately, the decision was made to bestow the company with the remarkable name, Tragelaphus, which is derived from the species commonly found in Ruaha National Park in northern Tanzania.

Hence, the company is name derived from the type of animal or species known as Tragelaphus which is most commonly found in Ruaha National Park in the northen part of Tanzania
