Emilia S.
“There are many things about Tanzania that I could write a full dissertation on, so in the spirit of being concise, here was my biggest take away and life lesson: There aren't many places in the world that bring you back to yourself and the essence of what it means to be a small part of this planet, not the center of it. Tanzania is one of them.
Thank you World Within Us, for giving me the opportunity to experience that.”

“The magic of Tanzania is unforgettable. It’s unlike anywhere in the world. The safaris are like stepping into the real-life Lion King. TWWU made it so seamless to prepare. This trip profoundly impacted me. One of my favorites days was— visiting women-led organizations like Solar Sister, Wine to Water, and Shanga. We also learned so much aboutthe Maasai tribe. Words can’t fully capture this experience; you must book the trip to feel it yourself.”
