what we believe

Tanzania is a land of unique nature and beauty. From the snow-capped peak of Mt Kilimanjaro to the endless plains of the Serengeti, from the sun-kissed islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago to the gentle shores of Lake Victoria, the country contains immense cultural and natural wealth. It was here, on the dusty floor of Olduvai Gorge, that early man left his first footprints. It was here, on palm-fringed Zanzibar, that Swahili traders welcomed dhows and trading boats from across the Indian Ocean.

For many years, Tanzania has played an essential part in the life of the African continent. The great wildebeest migration alone comprises the largest movement of land animals on the planet. With over 25% of the country’s total landmass dedicated to wildlife parks and conservation areas, Tanzania remains wholeheartedly committed to the preservation of Africa’s great wilderness and incredible range of animal species.

This indigenous knowledge offers invaluable insights into preserving the natural world, and we are dedicated to sharing this wisdom through our programs. We empower and engage communities living alongside Tanzania's wildlife, fostering a shared sense of responsibility for our environment.

By combining the Datooga tribe's deep understanding of the land with modern conservation practices, we strive to ensure the long-term survival of Tanzania's magnificent landscapes and the incredible array of species that call them home.
