2015
We met in 2015 during an excursion organized by Hakuna Matata Outdoor, an association that Alessandro had formed with the idea of introducing the Maremma, to the people who live there.
We both had a wonderful dream, that of making our passions a profession, needless to say, the meeting was fateful...

2019
In 2019 we are leaving the "safe job," to follow our dream and begin the adventure that led us to the creation of HMO - Hakuna Matata Outdoor.
We have always loved the land that "hosts" us, our roots, history and traditions that are part of our DNA.
Tuscany, which has always been the cradle of great people and great men, such as the Etruscans, Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Puccini, just to name a few, fascinates and amazes its visitors.

Our team

Livia

Founder HMO
In my "first life" I lived in Rome, I was working as a Retail Area Manager and for hobbies I dabbled in practicing multiple outdoor sports. Then I met Alessandro and my my second life and the adventure Hakuna Matata Outdoor. First as a Guide Environmental and Nordic Walking, then as founder of the first incoming tourism tour operator active tourism in the Tuscan Maremma.

Alessandro

Co-Founder HMO
I am the DOC Tuscan of the group, born and raised in Maremma, a lifelong lover of nature and sports outdoors. Although life work has taken me away from Tuscany for a few years, the love for this land led me to abandon everything to return and start a new life. Thus was born Hakuna Matata Outdoor, with the goal of making know and love these places that are cherished.

Lucy

International Travel Counsultant
I have always been passionate about nature and travel. The good fortune of having grown up in a bilingual family (Italian/English), has spurred me to travel and learn about the world, until making me decide that when I grew up I wanted to be an "explorer!" During the course as an Environmental Guide, I landed in Maremma and was captivated by it. E' here that I met Alessandro and Livia and decided to promote together with them, the beauty of this land.

Magnifica esperienza di tre giorni e poi ancora di una giornata con l’esperta guida di Alessandro in splendidi paesaggi della bassa Maremma (Pitigliano, Sorana, Soana, monte Amiata e Parco dell’Uccellina) e dell’Argentario. Ottima organizzazione con base in un agriturismo vicino a Grosseto. Perfette raccomandazioni per soste in ristoranti o poste tappe per la sera e durante la giornata in bici. Assoluta affidabilità delle bici (tutte fornite da Alessandro) ed itinerari vari ed adatti al nostro livello. Nonostante fosse a metà agosto Alessandro ci ha guidati lungo sentieri tra i boschi e vigneti all’ombra. Ripeteremo senz’altro!

Mi sono rivolta a HMO per le attività sportive di un mio gruppo a Capalbio. Non finirò mai a dire quanto questa scelta è stata azzeccata. Ho trovato grande disponibilità e professionalità da parte di Alessandro, Livia ed i loro collaboratori. Offrono un’ampia scelta di attività su tutto il territorio e ci hanno fatto scoprire una Maremma meravigliosa.

Un'organizzazione e una disponibilità senza precedenti. L'unico tour operator della Maremma che organizza vacanze attive per tutti i gusti: bici, sup, trekking...si vede che c'è professionalità, profonda conoscenza e amore per il territorio! Consigliato!

Che il territorio fosse spettacolare non avevo dubbi, ma ciò che lo ha reso ancor più unico sono stati il calore, la disponibilità e la simpatia delle persone che ho incontrato! Un esempio?Alessandro e Livia di Hakuna Matata che oltretutto hanno saputo risvegliare lo spirito d’avventura che si era assopito dentro di me! L’amore ed il rispetto per questi luoghi traspare dai loro occhi, dalle loro parole ed è contagioso! Grazie di cuore per aver reso uniche le mie vacanze!

I had the chance of exploring the area around Follonica with them, we went for a hike and one of the places was Calaviolina. Amazing destinations and the most friendly and helpful people. Hardly recommend them to everyone interested in exploring the area with the real insight of such special places. Both on foot, bike or SUP.
