A Tent With a View

"I’ve known David Guthrie, the owner of Tent With A View, for over 25 years and am still amazed and impressed by his genuine passion for conservation and giving back. With over 30 years of experience, Tent With A View operates with real integrity and is as innovative as it gets for an inbound provider. Their energy is extraordinary.

David, Tara and their team are also involved in a wide array of local projects that underpin the United Nations' SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)."

HOW

Tanzania

A Tent With a View (ATWAV) operates in the Serengeti, Saadani and Nyerere (formerly Selous) national parks as well as on the shores of Lake Victoria and Zanzibar Island.

Innovation & integrity

Using their own small, bespoke safari camps and hotels, ATWAV can operate a plethora of tours throughout Tanzania and arrange all ground handling for groups or tailor-mades. Everything they do is underpinned by clearly articulated sustainable travel goals and their amazing Bush Rover camps need to be seen to be believed.

Giving back

The owner’s passion for wildlife led him to Tanzania in 1990 where he met friend and partner, Masa, as a guide. David Guthrie is well known for his ground-breaking work on elephant conservation, anti-poaching and more recently ATWAV’s Sustainable Development Goals’ Centres which focus on education in Zanzibar, the first girls’ sports academy in Tanzania and numerous conservation projects Saadani.

Started 1995

ATWAV started when David and Masa opened their first camp in Saadani. In 1999, they opened a second camp in Selous Game Reserve followed by The Zanzibari - a boutique hotel on Zanzibar Island - in 2009. 2017 saw their biggest innovations to date - the Bush Rover Migration Camp in Serengeti and a new camp on Lake Victoria called ‘Little Okavango’.

David, Tara & Masa

David Guthrie, a Brit, and Masoud “Masa” Kilanga, a Tanzanian, have been at the very heart of the operation since it all began in 1995. David’s innovative ideas are put into practice by Masa’s amazing engineering skills. Tara joined the team in 2009 and heads up marketing from the UK.
