Simone Koch:
I grew up with my father's adventurous stories about Tanzania. After my studies, I lived in Tanzania for half a year to get to know the culture. I got to know the country’s various regions during my time there. Since 2009, I have been organizing individual trips to Tanzania as a member of the Kimasafaris team.
Bruno Koch:
In 1978, I worked on a development project in southern Tanzania, and I have kept going back ever since. Together with my wife and my daughter, I founded Kimasafaris in 2009. Our goal was to promote a form of tourism that will benefit local residents and help preserve the country’s beautiful habitats. We only protect places we value!
Brigitte Koch:
We were looking for a project with which we can support Tanzania sustainably. Bruno and Simone convinced me that we achieve two goals with Kimasafaris: On the one hand, a family in Tanzania can build and secure their existence; on the other hand, the ecologically valuable national parks are preserved, as the protection of habitats is ensured. I support Bruno and Simone ideally and administratively.
