Overview

Wilkinson Tours - Pure Africa 

Horst and Debbie Bachmann, Directors of WILKINSON TOURS LTD, and their team of experienced driver guides and supporting staff have pooled together their knowledge to create our popular safari packages and climbing programs. 

Debbie Bachmann (née Wilkinson) was born in Zimbabwe and has lived most of her life in Africa. She studied International Tourism in Cape Town and, after several years of tour guiding in various countries between Ethiopia and South Africa and further studies in Europe, opened WILKINSON TOURS in 2012 together with her husband, Horst Bachmann (also studied Tourism in Germany). They also have another hotelier company in Tanzania with a lovely 23-roomed lodge at the foot of Mt Meru near Arusha national park and 5 tented camps in Tarangire, Serengeti & Mkomazi national parks (www.african-view.com) which they opened in 2007. Together with their two children, Maria and Aaron, Debbie and Horst have been living in Tanzania now since almost 20 years.

Usa River Rehabilitation and Training Centre

Usa River Rehabilitation and Training Center

Our Center is a place for people with and without disabilities to live, learn, and work together. „We believe in your ability“ is our motto and also the focus of our thoughts and activities. „We believe in your ability“. For us, this sentence has three dimensions:

„We believe in your ability“ to live independently with disabilities

It is hard to live as a disabled person in Tanzania, one of the world's poorest nations. There is factually no aid from the state. During the dry season, disabled people literally are left sitting in the dust, which turns into mud in the wet season. Access to schools and other forms of education is difficult and often impossible , simply because the getting there is often impossible for disabled students. Families with six or more children do not have many financial resources. In some villages, disabled children are still considered a disgrace and kept hidden away. And yet, we experience again and again how young disabled people take the chance we give them in our Center and turn their lives around a full 180 degrees. That is why we want to ensure each of our students:

YOU CAN MAKE IT! WE BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY!

„We believe in your ability“ - To share your wealth

Many families can barely contribute to the education of their disabled children, but we still take them in. We are only able to do so because other people continually support our work. We do not beg, but believe that it is good for wealthy people to share some of their abundance in order to help others. We are thankful for and happy to accept even the smallest donation for our work.

WE BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY!

„We believe in your ability“ - and put our belief in you, God

Of course it goes unsaid that some disabled people, who often have to deal with poverty and pain on a daily basis, lead a difficult life. Our employees are also emotionally burdened by the daily work with disability, and by being regularly confronted with pain, illness, suffering, and death. When people's spirits are down, we hope and pray to our gracious God to heal – to raise our spirits – to motivate – and to comfort us.

Yes, even to God, we would like to say:

WE BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITY!

Sincerely yours,

Pastor Elibariki Kaaya
