Dorah Emmanuel 

Dorah Emmanuel was born and raised in Arusha, at the centre of Tanzania’s tourism industry. Growing up, she regularly met international visitors through House of Happiness, where she learned from an early age how much good hospitality depends on attention, communication and making people feel welcome. That experience helped shape her decision to build a career in tourism. 

Lamai Africa Safaris 

Dorah joined Lamai during its early development and was drawn to the opportunity to help build a young Tanzanian safari company from the ground up. Today, she brings more than four years of experience in travel and tourism to her work, with a background in hospitality, tour management, safari coordination, guest relations and logistics. Her role is closely connected to the guest journey: helping turn travel plans into practical arrangements, keeping communication clear and making sure the details behind a safari are properly coordinated.

For Dorah, a good safari is not only about the places included in the itinerary. It is also about how well the journey is organised, how guests are looked after and the moments they continue to remember after returning home.
