Founder’s Legacy & Leadership

The foundation of Africa Travel Bureau is rooted in the vision and determination of its co-founder, Solomon Daudi, who brought decades of invaluable experience to the tourism industry. Before launching Africa Travel Bureau, Solomon spent seventeen years as the Managing Director of a chain of government-owned safari hotels and lodges in northern Tanzania. His deep knowledge of the industry, combined with his vast network of global connections, provided the ideal groundwork for building a company committed to excellence.

In 1992, Solomon's entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the tourism industry led him to retire from his position in the government-owned hotel sector and embark on his dream of establishing his own travel agency. His wife, an experienced accountant at a safari hotel in Arusha, joined him in the venture, contributing her expertise to the company's success. Together, they built a business known for its integrity and strong partnerships with renowned agents across the globe.

Today, Africa Travel Bureau thrives under the leadership of Solomon’s children. Dr. Joseph Solomon and CPA-T Paul Solomon, his sons, now oversee the company's day-to-day operations, continuing their father’s legacy with a focus on excellence and customer satisfaction. Dr. Eva Solomon, Ms. Esther Solomon, and Ms. Salome Solomon, other members of the Solomon family, also play key roles within the company, contributing their skills and expertise to support Africa Travel Bureau’s continued growth and success.

With an unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service and an extensive history in the Tanzanian tourism industry, Africa Travel Bureau remains a trusted partner for travellers seeking authentic African safari experiences.
