Elevated Safari Experience

Two Worlds, One Vision: The Story Behind Elevated Safari Experience

Some partnerships are born out of strategy. Others, out of circumstance. But some, like the one between Matt Swierk and Octavian Msongamwanja are guided by something bigger. A gut feeling. A knowing. A sense that the universe brought two people together for a reason.

That reason? To create a transformational travel experience that changes lives, shifts perspectives, and reconnects people to themselves, each other, and the natural world.



A Chance Meeting That Changed Everything

Matt and Octavian met during a personal development session, each on their own journey of growth. But as the sessions wrapped up, it became clear that their paths were meant to continue together. They didn’t just see the world differently, they saw what the world could be. And that vision was too powerful to ignore.

One was born in Morogoro, Tanzania, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. The other was raised in the United States, immersed in business and leadership. Both married to women outside their race. Both raising biracial children. Both having overcome struggles that shaped them into the heart-centered leaders they are today.

Together, they saw an opportunity, not just to build a business, but to create a movement.



A Shared Mission: Transforming Lives Through Travel

At its core, Elevated Safari Experience is about more than adventure, it’s about expansion. A shift in perception. A return to something deeper.

Matt and Octavian are servant leaders, driven by values, morals, and ethics. Their mission? To open hearts and minds, fostering unity, acceptance, and love. Their logo, a black-and-white circle, reflects both their contrasting backgrounds and the oneness of all life on this planet.

Their tagline says it all: “Create a transformation through travel, opening the heart and mind, using nature as a classroom.”



The Power of Two Perspectives

Together, Matt and Octavian bring two distinct yet complementary skill sets to the table:

🌍 Octavian’s Roots in Tanzania

  • Started his first business at age 11, leading hiking and tour experiences.

  • A natural relationship-builder with a gift for connection and storytelling.

  • Deeply embedded in business training, mentorship, and customer service.

  • A visionary who always knew he would expand the tourism experience in Tanzania.

  • A personal connection to the land and wildlife, shaped by moments like the night his father had to lift him through a window to escape a lion outside their home.

🚀 Matt’s Leadership & Vision

  • A background in business management, sales, marketing, and mentorship.

  • A history of starting and growing companies, with a passion for team-building.

  • A strategic thinker with a big-picture mindset and a strong sense of humor.

  • A heart for leadership that blends compassion, vision, and effective execution.

  • A lifelong dream to create a touring company where friends, family, and travelers could share meaningful experiences together.



More Than a Trip—A Global Movement

Elevated Safari Experience isn’t just about showing travelers Africa’s breathtaking landscapes. It’s about helping people return home different than they arrived.

🦁 A Shift in Perspective – Using the wisdom of nature to foster personal and spiritual growth.

🌍 A Commitment to Unity – Creating a space where all cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs are welcomed.

💫 A Global Ripple Effect – Inspiring travelers to treat themselves, others, animals, and the planet with more love and compassion.

But their vision doesn’t stop there. Matt and Octavian dream of creating a worldwide movement—one where travel isn’t just about seeing new places but about aligning the spirit, mind, and body. A movement that plays a role in shifting humanity and raising consciousness.



The Wild is Calling—Will You Answer?

Some journeys are about escape. This one is about becoming.

If you’re ready to step into a travel experience that awakens something within you—something ancient, something real—Matt and Octavian invite you to join them.
