Welcome to
One Heart Travel
Where every safari heals a little heart.
What we do
We are a tourism agency that organizes safaris to Tanzania to sponsor free heart treatment programs for children, giving them a second chance in life.
Why we do this
With a population of 62 million, Tanzania is experiencing 2 million live births every year. Approximately 16,000 children are born with congenital heart defects (CHD), and 4,000 urgently require surgery within the 1st year of life.
With only one heart hospital, less than 2% receive the necessary surgery due to low awareness, limited access, and affordability issues. CHD stands as the 3rd leading cause of early childhood death in the country.
We are represented on SafariBookings, the world's largest resource and leading authority for planning an African safari.
From the Boardroom
“Since 2019, I have been on a mission to heal the little hearts in Tanzania through The One New Heart Tanzania non-profit. In collaboration with volunteers passionate about safaris, we have been able to provide free heart treatment to needy children. The goal to serve more children is what led us to found One Heart Travel Limited, where we organize safaris to sponsor free heart treatment missions in Tanzania.”
“At One Heart Travel Limited, our primary focus is serving our clients better. We have seamlessly integrated the joy of exploring the beauty of Tanzania with the mission of healing little hearts. Let's travel for hearts together, just as I have been doing as the founder of The One New Heart Tanzania non-profit.”

Each step taken on the ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro echoes the rhythm of healthy heartbeats for little ones in need. As you climb, you are both conquering the elevation and helping heal tiny hearts. Every step you take becomes a beat of compassion, making a lasting impact on the lives of Tanzanian children in need.
“Each step is a heartbeat for change”
“Our climb with One Heart Travel to Mount Kilimanjaro was an awe-inspiring adventure from start to finish! Plus, knowing that a significant portion of our trip supported free children's heart treatment added an extra layer of meaning to the experience”

The team's dedication to safety, the seamless logistics, and the genuine commitment to the local community made our ascent memorable. We not only conquered the summit but also contributed to a great cause – healing little hearts”

Explore the Prison Island in Zanzibar
Changuu Island, also known as Kibandiko, Prison, or Quarantine Island, is a small island located 5.6 km northwest of Stone Town in Zanzibar, Tanzania. With dimensions of approximately 800 m in length and 230 m at its widest point, the island has a rich history that includes its use as a prison for rebellious slaves in the 1860s and as a coral mine.
Changuu Island is home to a noteworthy collection of endangered Aldabra giant tortoises, originally gifted by the British governor of the Seychelles. The island's name is derived from the Swahili name for a common fish in the surrounding seas.
