Meet Our Founder

Subira Shedafa, a graduate in Archaeology and Tourism from the University of Dar es Salaam, founded Kigamboni Eco-Cultural Tours in 2021. Her passion for Swahili culture led her to organize local people and guides to promote the lesser-known Swahili culture along the coast of the Indian Ocean, emphasizing sustainable cultural tourism in Kigamboni.
