About Us

GS Tanzania is a proudly Tanzanian company specializing in the design, construction, and installation of high-quality tented camps and lodge structures. Based in Arusha, we serve clients across the country — from the vast plains of Serengeti to the deep forests of Mahale, delivering custom-built safari and eco-tourism solutions that celebrate nature, culture, and comfort.

Founded with a passion for sustainable tourism and skilled craftsmanship, GS Tanzania has grown into a trusted partner for tour operators, camp developers, NGOs, and private investors looking to create unforgettable guest experiences in the wild.

What We Do

We provide end-to-end services for tented camp and lodge projects, including:

  • Tent Building & Installation

  • Project Consultation & Planning

  • Custom Tent & Lodge Design

  • Camp Furniture Design & Manufacturing

All our structures and furniture are crafted at our workshop in Arusha, using locally sourced materials and built by skilled Tanzanian artisans. This in-house capability ensures quality control, faster delivery times, and the flexibility to adapt designs to suit each unique project and location.

Whether you’re building a luxury safari lodge, a seasonal mobile camp, or a rustic eco-retreat, we bring creativity, professionalism, and local expertise to every step of the journey.

Our Philosophy

We believe that tented spaces can be more than just temporary shelters — they can be beautiful, durable, and deeply connected to the environment. Our work is guided by three core principles:

  • Design with Purpose
    Every structure we create is thoughtfully designed to enhance the landscape, meet functional needs, and deliver a memorable guest experience.

  • Build with Integrity
    We use quality materials, ethical labor practices, and strong technical know-how to ensure lasting results — even in remote, off-grid locations.

  • Support Local Impact
    We proudly employ and train local talent, support the Tanzanian supply chain, and build in ways that benefit surrounding communities and ecosystems.
