Chief & Founder

Herieth is gregarious and sociable. She is an optimist with a good sense of humour who enjoys the uniqueness of every person. Over the past years, she has been spending a great deal of her time travelling and learning. She joined a group of like-minded workout enthusiasts, participating in marathons, trail walks and an annual hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro. Herieth found herself coordinating these unique expeditions for friends to enjoy nature and culture in places that are usually less visited by tourists in Tanzania. Her friends nick-named her the Chief Coordinator because of the smooth planning, guaranteed enjoyment and lasting experience.

This inspired Herieth to share her passion for adventure and unrivalled knowledge of Tanzania’s abundant and natural beauty with the rest of the world. She is excited for you to join her in exploring Tanzania’s beautiful landscapes, its people, and rich and diverse culture.

With Nyikani Nature Trails expertise, your Tanzanian safari will be meticulously planned to suit your preferences, with carefully selected top-notch lodges and camps.
