About Us

Isabella Daniel Mwampamba is a Tanzanian entrepreneur, development activist, and educator whose life story blends resilience, creativity, and community impact.

Born in Peramiho and her academic journey began at Wanging’ombe Primary School, where she stood out as the only pupil to pass the national exams and earn a spot at Iringa Girls Secondary School. She later pursued A-Level studies in Economics, Commerce, and Accounts at Shycom High School and earned her degree from Tengeru Community Development Training Institute in Arusha.

Her career has been marked by bold moves and visionary thinking. She became nationally known as Tanzania’s first officially confirmed COVID-19 patient, but rather than retreat, she used the experience to amplify her voice as a public figure and entrepreneur. Isabella has invested heavily in education and sports, and her work often bridges grassroots development with strategic leadership.

She’s described as “a dreamer, a doer, and a thinker full of life”—someone who sees opportunity everywhere. Her creativity in business is rooted in community values, faith, and a deep belief in African resilience. Whether representing her church in international forums or mentoring young women, Isabella’s approach is both practical and emotionally intelligent.

Her journey to founding Kachiki Adventure Safaris is rooted in a deep love for Tanzania’s landscapes, a passion for storytelling, and a bold entrepreneurial spirit.

After years of working in education and community development—especially through Upendo Friends Pre and Primary School and the Upendo Friends Sports Academy—Isabella saw a gap in how Tanzanian tourism was being presented. Most safari companies focused on luxury or foreign narratives, but few celebrated local heritage, healing through travel, and the emotional power of nature from a native perspective.

Her personal travels across Tanzania became more than leisure—they were moments of reflection, learning, and spiritual restoration. She began documenting these experiences under the theme of “Safari Diary of a Native Woman,” sharing insights not just about wildlife, but about the soul of the land, the people, and the stories that often go untold.

From this vision, Kachiki Adventure Safaris was born—not just as a tour company, but as a platform to reclaim African narratives, empower local guides, and offer travelers a deeper, more authentic connection to Tanzania. “Kachiki” itself evokes movement, rhythm, and the heartbeat of adventure.

Isabella’s approach blends business creativity with cultural pride. Her safaris often include storytelling sessions, visits to community projects, and reflections on healing and personal growth. It’s tourism with a soul—and it’s changing how people experience East Africa.
