It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Abbas Moledina at his home in Vancouver on 11 May 2023.
Abbas was instrumental in building Ranger Safaris Tanzania to the exacting standards of service that the company is known for today. As a mentor and a pioneer in the industry Abbas guided the company to great heights during his tenure.
Abbas worked alongside his late brother and founder of ARP Africa Travel, Shakir Moledina, for decades and was well known and respected in East Africa’s travel industry. His contributions to the industry in Tanzania included his time as Chairman of the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators and his extensive philanthropic efforts on a personal level and through the Rotary Club of Arusha.
He leaves behind his son, Ali, who holds the role of Operations Director at Ranger Safaris alongside Managing Director Sanjay Gajjar. Together they continue to lead the company with the ethics and dedication to excellence, an ethos Abbas engrained into Ranger Safaris. Through the groundwork that he laid, the company continues to grow with the times to meet the ever changing and challenging needs of today’s travellers.
Though he retired from the business and left Tanzania a few years ago, his influence and memory live on. Our prayers are with the family, and we cherish the wonderful memories and profound impact he had on all that were privileged to know Abbas.
