My Story
Meet Otilia Kolimba
Founder/Director
As the founder of Pande Eco-Cultural Tourism, I have always felt a deep connection to my homeland and a passion for exploring new places. Growing up in Tanzania, I was surrounded by breathtaking natural wonders, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage.
Although my travels have taken me beyond our borders, my heart remains in Tanzania, where the stunning landscapes and welcoming communities continue to inspire my work every day.
I recognize the immense significance of sustainable tourism in benefiting both travelers and local communities. Additionally, responsible tourism plays a crucial role in preserving the environment, which sustains our lives and future generations.
This vision led me to establish Pande Eco-Cultural Tourism, where we focus on providing eco-friendly tours and unique travel experiences. Our goal is not only to delight our guests but also to support local economies and protect our beautiful environment.
