After talking to the sales team and finalizing your trip, the team in Tanzania gets going. From reservations, our Hassan will be in charge of confirming the accommodations selected for your trip.

The operations and logistics department, formed mainly by the Eagle and Athumani, is another total Watatu essential. They will make sure that the trip of your dreams comes true, literally. Precisely for this reason, it is very important that our team works from Tanzania, since otherwise, it would be required to outsource services that one does not know firsthand.
