About Us
From the Land to the Heart
Founded in 2020 by Gasper Emma, Africa Watoto was born from a deep-rooted love for our home in Arusha, Tanzania. Gasper, the visionary behind the Shamba Mzuzu Collection and Serene Expeditions, realized that the true beauty of Africa isn’t just in its landscapes and wildlife, but in the potential of its children.
What started as a desire to share the wonders of Tanzania through travel has grown into a mission to protect and empower the next generation. Today, Africa Watoto serves as the social heartbeat of our organization, ensuring that every safari journey contributes directly to the well-being of the local community.


Our Pillars of Impact
🌍 Community: Our Foundation
We don’t just work in the community; we are part of it. Africa Watoto builds safe spaces and support networks that empower the entire family unit. We believe that by strengthening the community, we create a resilient environment where children can grow up with dignity and hope.
🎓 Education: Our Future
Education is the bridge to a better life. We are committed to removing the barriers to learning by providing essential school supplies and academic scholarships to vulnerable children. We equip the leaders of tomorrow with the tools they need to succeed today.
🏥 Healthcare: Our Priority
A child’s dreams are only as strong as their health. We organize medical camps and health awareness programs to provide vital check-ups and hygiene education. By making healthcare accessible, we ensure our youth have the physical strength to chase their ambitions.
The Serene Partnership: Travel with Purpose
Africa Watoto operates under the Shamba Mzuzu Collection and is fueled by Serene Expeditions. This unique connection means that when you explore Tanzania with us, you are doing more than just sightseeing. A portion of every expedition is directly invested into our education and health funds. Your "Footprint of Hope" helps us sustain our projects year-round.
Join Us: Volunteer & Connect
We believe the most powerful impact happens through human connection. We invite global travelers, professionals, and students to join our Volunteering Programs.
Whether you are assisting in a classroom , sharing your skills in a medical camp, or helping us build community infrastructure, your hands-on involvement creates a lasting legacy. Through our volunteering initiatives, you don't just see the change you become a part of it.
