Miguu Expeditions Ltd, a premier provider of safari adventures, is bringing the unparalleled beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife, culture, and landscapes to the Queen City of the South, offering Filipinos a gateway to one of the world’s most sought-after travel experiences. The company was introduced to the Cebu market during the recent Cebu Travel Catalogue International Expo held February 13–15 at Ayala Center Cebu.
Miguu, derived from the Swahili word meaning “many feet” or “steps,” symbolizes shared journeys and exploration. The Tanzania-based partnership bridges East Africa and the Philippines, combining local expertise with Filipino hospitality to curate authentic and immersive safari adventures.
Leading the expedition team is Charles Mpanda, one of Tanzania’s most respected safari specialists and wildlife guides. With years of experience guiding travelers across the country’s renowned national parks, Mpanda ensures safe, educational, and unforgettable wildlife encounters rooted in conservation and cultural appreciation.
Partnering with him is Gordon Alan “Dondi” Joseph, a Manila-born entrepreneur who considers himself Cebuano by choice. Driven by his passion for Tanzania and adventure travel, Joseph aims to introduce fellow Filipinos to what he describes as the ultimate safari experience.
“This is the first time a Cebuano or a Filipino has invested in Tanzania, especially in the safari business. It all came from a love for adventure travel and a love for photography,” said Joseph in a side interview during the expo. “If you’re a photographer—or even an Instagram photographer—you will love coming to one of the most beautiful places in the world. Love for nature, love for adventure, love for photography—and you will fall in love with Africa.”
Exclusive Safari Packages for 2026 and 2027
Miguu Expeditions Ltd is unveiling exclusive safari packages for 2026 and 2027, featuring curated itineraries across Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes. Central to these offerings is the annual Great Migration — widely regarded as the largest and most dramatic wildlife spectacle in the natural world.
Miguu Expeditions Ltd offers curated safari packages designed for small groups of four to 16 guests to ensure a personalized and comfortable experience. Among its offerings are:
A seven-day safari package priced at $3,000 (excluding international airfare)
A 10-day safari package at $5,800
A specialized migration package focused on the Mara River crossing
A major highlight is Tanzania’s Great Migration, widely regarded as one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife events. The migration involves nearly two million wildebeests and zebras moving across the plains, with dramatic river crossings at the Mara River occurring between August and September.
“The high season for the migration is August and September, which is reflected in the higher prices during these months,” Joseph explained. “We organize tour packages with smaller groups to ensure a curated and immersive safari experience.”
The company also arranges various accommodation options, ranging from mobile camps that follow wildlife movements to high-end safari lodges. Miguu owns specialized safari vehicles equipped for optimal wildlife viewing and photography, catering to a growing global market that sees over a million visitors annually to Tanzania.
Expanding Global Footprint
Beyond Tanzania, Miguu now offers safari and adventure expeditions in Uganda, Kenya, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, and Mongolia, expanding opportunities for travelers seeking diverse cultural and ecological experiences.
With its Cebu introduction, Miguu Expeditions Ltd positions itself as a trusted bridge between Filipino adventurers and Africa’s untamed wilderness, inviting travelers to take bold new steps into the heart of the wild.
By combining Tanzanian safari expertise with Filipino hospitality, Miguu Expeditions Ltd aims to create immersive travel experiences rooted in adventure, storytelling, and cross-cultural friendship—opening the African wilderness to more Filipino explorers.
