About Xenohuru

Built by the community, for the curious

What is Xenohuru?

Xenohuru is a free, open-source Progressive Web App (PWA) that showcases all the tourist attractions found in Tanzania. From hiking Mount Kilimanjaro to exploring Zanzibar's Stone Town, from safari drives in the Serengeti to cultural tours in Chagga villages -- this platform brings Tanzania's wonders to the world.

Our Mission

To make Tanzania's incredible tourism information freely accessible to everyone — travellers, developers, and the global community — through a modern, fast, and beautiful open-source platform.

Open Source

Every line of code is public. Fork it, improve it, build on it. We believe that open collaboration creates the best experiences and helps communities grow together.
