| | | | | | | | | | | We can’t believe 2025 is already coming to an end... what a whirlwind it has been! As the festive season begins, we’re choosing to finish the year with purpose and joy. Once again, we are proud to support Tushikamane Pamoja Foundation, a non-profit organization in Dar es Salaam dedicated to caring for the elderly.
| | | We’d love for you to join us in spreading cheer. Your contribution, whether financial or in-kind, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our beloved senior citizens.
| | | And if you’re a last-minute holiday planner holding a Tanzanian, Kenyan, or Rwandan passport, we’ve put together a list of destinations with easy, hassle-free visa processes. All you need to do is pack your bags, book your stay, and raise a glass as you welcome 2026.
| | | From all of us at Rickshaw Travels, we wish you a joyful, peaceful, and memorable holiday season. See you in the new year!

| | | | | | | | I wanted to share some important feedback about Bhavin’s exceptional service during a recent challenging corporate travel situation.
| | | Background: Bhavin expertly managed a complex multi-country safari booking, coordinating logistics across multiple travelers and locations with precision.
| | | The Crisis: When an unexpected travel disruption occurred, Bhavin went above and beyond, escalating the issue with the airline to secure a timely and suitable resolution, despite the official stance being that no further assistance was required.
| | | Outstanding Outcome: His dedication, working outside normal hours and refusing to accept “no” as an answer, transformed a potential problem into a seamless experience. This level of commitment exemplifies the kind of partnership that ensures complex travel arrangements succeed.
| | | Future Considerations: Experiences like this reinforce the value of having our international consultants work directly with Bhavin where possible, enhancing responsiveness and efficiency.
