About Us
Tanzanian-based collaboration between Tanzanian safari guide James Mazigo and American retiree Richard Lucero.
James and Richard first met 10 years ago while Richard was working in Tanzania and decided to try a safari in the Serengeti despite thinking that safaris weren’t for him. One safari with James, and Richard was hooked on safaris. Impressed by James’ expertise and uncanny ability to spot the Big 5, including the elusive rhino, Richard has now been on over 20 safaris. After 10 years of safaris together, James and Richard decide to form Gamelife legends
Our Mission
Our goal is to create unforgettable safaris that are expertly tailored to you while providing exceptional value. Not only will James guide you on a legendary safari filled with lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, and countless other animals. He will carefully select your accommodations and transportation from beginning to end. As a leading expert in the industry, James has lasting relationships with nearly one hundred lodges and drivers across Tanzania—ranging from luxury to budget-friendly—and will find the perfect accommodations for your safari.
