About us

Experience since over 35 years

Wolfgang H. Heep, originally from Germany, and his Tanzanian wife Kakuu were both key figures in Baobabvillage Co. Ltd. After Wolfgang’s passing, their sons, Christopher and Mark, now manage the company together with their mother, Kakuu. 

Wolfgang first arrived in Tanganyika in 1964 as a volunteer, and from that moment, East Africa captured his heart. During his early years, he explored the region in a trusty Volkswagen Beetle, visiting countless national parks and landmarks.

In 1985, Wolfgang returned to Tanzania to work in development. From 2000 onwards, he expanded his focus to include ownership of several prominent ventures, including Selous Mbega Camp, Kilwa Seaview Resort, Meru Mbega Lodge, and Meru Simba Farm.

Ltd.

One last word of advice

Life is sometimes a little slower on the African Continent. Local people are generally polite, hospitable and eager to assist but may not always understand everything in your terms. If you are patient, we are sure you will come away pleased, with wonderful lasting memories.
