Let us guide you to the best places to buy beautiful jewelry. We refer you to reputable dealers offering authentic gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, emeralds, garnets, tourmalines and sapphires. Tanzania is known as the only global source of tanzanite, a gemstone that is a thousand times rarer than diamonds and which experts predict will be depleted within 10 years, only increasing its value.

In addition to exploring these gems, we can also take you to a small museum to learn more about Tanzania’s rich gem history.

Coffee

Discover the unique flavors of Tanzanian coffee, with the northern region offering sweet notes and the south having higher acidity and a floral or fruity profile, thanks to the volcanic soil and variable altitudes of the coffee plantations. Experience this for yourself during a coffee tour, where you can see the entire process from beans to your cup of coffee.

Tanzanian coffee is known for its distinct and lively flavor, with interesting fruit notes and an exquisite flavor profile. Give your caffeine-loving family and friends a truly special gift with Arabica coffee beans from Tanzania.

Herbs

Bring home a touch of Zanzibar with authentic spices, perfect gifts for family and friends. Discover why Zanzibar is known as the Spice Island on a tour of one of the island’s many spice farms. Here you will see how farmers grow an array of spices, including black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and nutmeg.

Located off the coast of Tanzania, opposite Dar-es-Salaam, Zanzibar is easily accessible by ferry or plane. The island is home to some of the best sources of Tanzanian gifts, ready to be discovered during your trip.

Katja de Feu

Katja, co-founder of JADORE SAFARIS, has developed a passion for tourism with more than 5 years of experience organizing safaris in East Africa. Together with local partners, the company has grown into a unique initiative focused on exclusive private safaris away from mass tourism.

An African safari is always an adventure. But to embark on your adventure means that even during the planning phase, you need to get in touch with someone who provides independent and honest advice.

It is rare for someone to return home disappointed about their safari, but they may not be aware of what they did not see and how much better it could have been.

Katja wants to make sure her clients are aware of all options for their African adventure … regardless of how they define that adventure. JADORE SAFARIS clients become her good friends, many of whom return to Tanzania or Kenya to travel with us again.

In addition to the personal welcome, it is also Katja who, behind the scenes as financial director, ensures that everything once you are here can also run smoothly.
