Meet Richard Tito – The Visionary Behind the Experience
Richard Tito is a man whose unwavering dedication to Tanzania and its people shines through everything he does. Raised in the lush foothills of Mount Meru, in the vibrant town of Arusha, his entrepreneurial journey began early, sparked by a deep connection to his homeland and a desire to create meaningful impact.
Motivated by a profound love for his country and a firm belief in the power of community-led growth, Richard set out on a mission to unveil Tanzania’s breathtaking beauty to the world in a way that uplifts both travelers and the people who call this land home.
Drawing on a diverse background in local enterprises, Richard saw the tourism industry not just as a business venture, but as a powerful storytelling platform. It was his way of opening a window into Tanzania’s heart its landscapes, cultures, and soul.
With a passionate team of local experts by his side, Richard has guided Ascnzen Safaris into becoming a symbol of authentic, elevated travel. Every tour is shaped by his keen attention to detail, deep cultural insight, and genuine love for exploration.
Together, the Ascnzen team curates journeys that do more than show Tanzania they immerse you in it. From the roar of the Serengeti to the stillness of a sunset over the Great Rift, each moment is crafted to create lasting memories and meaningful connections.

What ASCNZEN Means to Us
The name Ascnzen isn’t just a brand it’s our philosophy. It comes from the fusion of two powerful concepts:
🌄 ASCENT – Representing growth, adventure and elevation. It speaks to the thrill of scaling Kilimanjaro, following the Great Migration, or taking the first step into Africa’s wild beauty. It’s about rising, not just in altitude, but in awareness and appreciation.
🧘🏽 ZEN – Representing balance, stillness, and deep connection. It’s the peace of a Serengeti sunset, the quiet of untouched nature, and the calm that travel brings when it’s rooted in intention and presence.
When you travel with Ascnzen, you embark on a journey to elevate your perspective, a deeper connection to culture and wilderness and an adventure that awakens your spirit and leaves a lasting impact
