Our Story
Over The Wilderness Safari
In the vibrant city of Arusha, Borgias Liheta unveiled his vision to friends Stephan Mwapinga and Marylin Nkya in 2023. With Borgias' financial acumen and adventurous spirit, Stephan's local expertise, and Marylin's sales savvy, they birthed Over the Wilderness, a tour company set to revolutionize travel in Tanzania.
Bound by a shared history and belief in travel's transformative power, the trio crafted journeys to showcase Tanzania's beauty and broaden perspectives. As adventurers flocked to Arusha, they embarked on expeditions into the unknown, fulfilling their mission of fostering a generation of mindful travelers who viewed the world as a tapestry of experiences, not just destinations

By fostering meaningful connections between people and nature, as well as facilitating cross-cultural exchanges, we aim to ignite a passion for exploration, learning, and personal growth.
