Meet Sadikiel Lewison Materu

Lead Guide & Founder • Deaf Safari Specialist

Sadikiel Lewison Materu is deaf and has spent years exploring Tanzania's national parks, cultural sites, and hidden gems. His passion for wildlife and commitment to inclusivity inspired him to create deaf adventure safaris Tanzania.

With extensive knowledge of Tanzania's ecosystems, wildlife behavior, and cultural heritage, Sadikiel ensures every safari is educational, safe, and unforgettable. His unique perspective as a deaf guide brings a fresh approach to safari experiences—one that prioritizes visual storytelling and community engagement.

"Every traveler deserves to experience Tanzania's beauty without barriers. That's what we're here to provide."
