Buy-Side Advisory

Tanganyika Expeditions

The opportunity wasn’t on the market. We found it.

Tanzania | UAE | France

2026

On the surface, it looked like an acquisition of 12 lodges, camps and hotels across some of East Africa’s most extraordinary destinations. But buying the properties alone didn’t mean you had bought the safari business.

Without the destination management companies and tour operators, you had the lodges, but you didn't control the full safari value chain.

The three DMCs in Tanzania, UAE and France generated and controlled the guest journey. A fleet of 100 game-drive and logistics vehicles moved those guests between the properties. And an Arusha hub kept the entire operation running.

Together, 200 rooms, 100 vehicles, three DMCs, the operational infrastructure and a development pipeline formed a hospitality platform built over more than 30 years.

So the question wasn’t what 12 properties were worth.

It was what the entire platform was worth, and what it could become in the hands of a new owner.

We assessed the properties and market positioning. Valued the real estate, fleet, and DMCs. Tested the development pipeline and capital requirements. Built the repositioning and investment case.

Then we stayed alongside the buyer and their legal advisers through the commercial negotiations.

We found the opportunity. We understood where the real value sat. We stayed on the buyer’s side of the table.

No brokerage. No seller mandate. No fee from the other side.

We work for the buyer.
