Our team

The people behind every safari.

A small, Tanzanian team — so the person who plans your trip, the guide who drives it and the voice on the phone at 2 a.m. all know your name.

Allano Fred

Founder, Director & Lead Safari Consultant

Allano founded Active Wonders Safaris in 2016 as a young Tanzanian with a simple conviction: every safari should have a purpose beyond exploration. He still plans journeys himself — listening first, advising honestly, and fine-tuning every itinerary with you.

“Allano was incredibly responsive — lodging, transfers, meals, park admissions, all seamlessly arranged.

Unforgettable safari adventure (10/10)

Active Wonders absolutely exceeded our expectations. We booked a last-minute private 7-day safari for two. Allano was incredibly responsive — lodging, transfers, meals, park admissions, all seamlessly arranged. Even an abundance of bottled water on hot days. Expert guides throughout.

A dream come true for us

We booked direct with Active Wonders and from the very beginning communication was great and transparent. A 5-night luxury safari covering all of the Serengeti. They accommodated our growing group of 9 with two cars and two drivers — Allano came along to make sure we saw all the Big Five and more.
