She grew up with the parks next door
Noreen Godfrey Kirimbai was raised in Arusha, in sight of Mount Meru and two hours from Tarangire. The northern circuit is not a product she sells; it is the ground she knows by season, by road and by camp.
About us
About Tanzania Lioness Adventure
A lioness hunts for the pride. She knows the ground, reads the season and brings everyone home. That is the standard we set ourselves when we named this company.
Tanzania Lioness Adventure is female-owned and female-led, based in Arusha at the foot of Mount Meru. We plan tailor-made journeys only — no fixed departures, no packaged groups, no itinerary sold to a hundred people at once.
Our work is unglamorous in the best way: knowing which camp has moved, which road washes out in April, which guide is right for a nervous first-timer and which is right for a photographer who wants silence.
Noreen
Who you will be working with.
Founder & lead planner
She plans every itinerary herself
No account managers, no handovers. From your first message to your last transfer, Noreen is the person drawing the route, choosing the camps and quoting an honest budget range.
She is reachable while you travel
A delayed flight, a change of heart, a birthday she wasn't told about — it gets handled from Arusha, in real time, by the person who built the trip.

Every itinerary is drawn by hand in our Arusha office — routing, pacing, camps and honest budget ranges. One conversation is usually enough to know whether we're the right fit.
