Your Authentic Family Adventure Starts Here!
Hi! I’m Grace—international lawyer, mother of four chaos agents, and the voice behind Mama Gaia Travels. Our family lives in Tanzania and spends as much time exploring this incredible continent as school schedules (and snack supplies) allow.
This blog is your go-to guide for sustainable family travel in Africa. Whether you’re dreaming of a Tanzanian safari, planning a move abroad with kids, or searching for culturally rich, kid-friendly adventures, you’ll find practical tips, honest stories (yes, including the meltdowns and sibling squabbles), and itineraries designed with real families in mind.
I started Mama Gaia Travels because I was frustrated by the lack of kid-focused travel advice for Africa—and tired of TripAdvisor guessing what my kids might enjoy. So I built the guide I couldn’t find, based on our personal journeys across Africa and a lifetime of family travel experience.
We believe in meaningful travel, strong coffee, and raising kids who know the world is bigger than their backyard. Consider this a warm invitation to join our shenanigans!
