About Milestone

The origin of Milestone Safaris & Mountaineering is driven by optimism based on a belief that the successes of the few should have a positive impact on society. Our founders, Joseph & Jenny Renju have backgrounds in Community Development and Public Health and that, coupled with an unending curiosity for all that is off the beaten track, led them to envision Milestone Safaris. 

Milestone Safaris & Mountaineering serves to impact and better the lives of local communities and individuals, even beyond the company’s existence. The company has positioned itself to deliver positive experiences for clients whilst demonstrating active care to preserve Tanzania’s wilderness and human culture. 

From the very beginning, the aim has been to create tour options that not only showcases this wonderful country, but provides clients with an authentic means to understand its culture. Tanzania has so much to offer: the people, the culture and the phenomenal wildlife, all which is hard to match anywhere else in the world. We want to be more than just a tour company, we are dedicated to community development and public health and passionate about the real life issues that affect our countrymen and women. We are working hard to make sure our company is a vehicle to help the less privileged and are committed to the welfare of our staff and their families. Most notably, we are grateful to our clients who go on tour with Milestone Safaris & Mountaineering, for their trust in us and support in this journey.

Hi, my name is Vera, I speak German and English and I started working at Milestone Safaris back in 2015 after deciding to leave Germany behind and move to Tanzania. I have since then been able to travel across Tanzania and have also been lucky enough to meet some amazing people. My favourite thing about my job is making our clients dream of an authentic African holiday come true.

Cornely
CornelySafari Guide
I enjoy meeting guests from all over the world and aim to go the extra mile to exceed travellers' expectations. Working at Milestone allows me to meet people and get an insight into different ways of life. I believe a good guide should have an excellent knowledge of flora and fauna and give visitors an insight into the culture of the Tanzanian people. Outside of work I love racing and travelling.

I have been guiding travellers through Tanzania’s national parks since 2010 and have lost count of the how many safaris I have been on! I still get excited every time one of my guests experience their first wildlife sighting and sharing in their joy is what makes guiding such a rewarding job for me. Our guests come from all walks of life and I aim to to offer an insight into Tanzania and give travellers the trip of lifetime.
