Flight Issues? We have your back!
Read more"...First of all, we had some difficultly getting to Tanzania because of flight cancellations etc. due to the pandemic.

Fair Wages for Crew
Read more"...I want to start off by saying that Popote is a local company, whose founder used to be a porter.

Popote pays their staff fair wages (a huge priority for me), while still maintaining good prices for their customers..."
