Founder & Entrepreneur — Tanzania
Building a new standard for travel in East Africa — one authentic experience at a time.
About Me
My name is Boaz Joshua. I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Valuation, and the founder and CEO of ZANMOVES — a premium travel startup redefining how the world experiences Tanzania.
I grew up watching the richness of this country — the coastlines of Zanzibar, the wilderness of the mainland, the warmth of the people — and I knew there was a gap between what Tanzania truly offers and how the world was experiencing it.
So I built something to close that gap. Not just a travel agency — a brand, a vision, a movement. ZANMOVES exists to give travelers something real: genuine local perspective, curated excellence, and experiences that stay with them long after they leave.
I'm passionate about entrepreneurship, branding, and the kind of business-building that actually creates meaning. Every day I'm learning, pushing, and working toward something I believe in deeply.
Founder Story
"The best founders don't wait for permission — they build the thing they wish existed."
Completing a degree in Valuation gave me structure, discipline, and a way of seeing value in the world — literally. But somewhere along the way, I started asking a different kind of question: What was Tanzania truly worth to the travelers who had never experienced her properly?
Tourism was happening — but the premium local experience, the insider routes, the genuine human connection — those were largely missing from what agencies were offering. I believed someone with deep roots here could do it differently.
I started building. Reaching out to hotels, learning the industry, developing the brand, and saying yes to every opportunity to grow. Within a relatively short period, ZANMOVES had formed partnerships with over 100 hotels across Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania, and was welcoming travelers from Switzerland, the UK, Austria, the US, and South Africa.
We're still early — and I say that proudly. What's been built so far is proof that the vision is real. The next chapter is about scale, brand, and expanding ZANMOVES into the leading premium travel company in East Africa.
Currently Building
Expanding our hotel network, refining our product, and growing our client base across Europe, the Gulf, and North America.
Building the ZANMOVES brand into something globally recognizable — through content, storytelling, and premium digital experiences.
Looking beyond Tanzania — toward a presence in Kenya, Rwanda, and across the region. One premium travel brand for all of East Africa.
Travelers we've welcomed from
ZANMOVES is a premium travel startup built for travelers who want more than a packaged tour. We combine professional curation with deep local knowledge to create authentic, memorable experiences across Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Vision & Philosophy
"I want to build something that makes Tanzania proud — a brand that carries the name of this country with the excellence it deserves."
Entrepreneurship, to me, is not just about building a business. It's about solving a real problem, telling a real story, and creating something that outlasts the moment it was built in.
