Nina Roewas
Founder & Managing director
Nina Roewas’ connection with Africa began long before Lamai existed. After more than 30 years working in international shipping and logistics, travel eventually brought that experience together with a long-standing interest in wildlife and African landscapes. In 2023, a journey through Tanzania became the starting point for something new: building a safari company rooted in Tanzania and shaped by strong guiding, local knowledge and thoughtful planning.
Lamai Africa Safaris
Nina founded Lamai together with Mody Gichero and today leads the company’s development, brand direction and overall operating structure. Her background in international operations plays an important role in turning ideas into journeys that work in practice, from route planning and accommodation to transfers, communication and coordination with partners across Tanzania. Nina also spends time in the field with the Lamai team, exploring new areas and helping develop and refine future experiences. Alongside building strong safari journeys, she is focused on developing Lamai as a Tanzanian company that can create professional opportunity, strengthen skills and grow responsibly over time.
