The “twang” of a Hadza bowstring in the evening light, elephants like ghost trains under a full moon, the tense silence caused by the guttural growls of a lioness protecting her cubs –these are the kinds of experiences that Dorobo Safaris from its beginning several decades ago has tried to share with visitors to Tanzania. Experience local cultures, ecosystems, and wilderness areas that are ‘off th

e beaten track’ in Tanzania and through this support conservation and cultural identity. Our greatest achievement has been promoting cultural dignity and supporting land security for vulnerable communities. We have assisted community partners to secure 23,500 hectares of their land for traditional hunting and gathering in the Yaeda Valley. Along the Maasai Steppe, over 27,000 hectares of grassland is being sustainably managed by the local communities for livestock and wildlife grazing. With legal certificates to the land and transparent tourism agreements, communities earn revenue for protecting this vital area against agricultural encroachment, permanent settlement, and charcoal production. Fourteen tourism agreements with local villages benefit in the order of 55,000 local people. Our business works directly with local village governments who represent the greater community. Contracts span five years and follow local laws and customs. A payment structure and a guaranteed annual income are agreed upon, enabling communities to budget efficiently each year. Communities members have access to periodic reports of revenue from tourism that has been disbursed and can hold local leadership accountable for the management and use thereof. Further, in 2018, Dorobo Safaris employed community members for 1430 days of work hosting clients in community areas – this was in addition to locals employed in full-time positions

The low, distinct rumbles of the elephant herd resonated as we approached the tranquil banks of the Ruaha River.

Few experiences compare to the intensity of locking eyes with a lion. The blend of curiosity and raw power in that fleeting gaze.

Happy World Lion Day

Celebrating Tanzania’s vibrant indigenous communities for International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.

These communities are more than just custodians of cultural tradition; they are stewards of the environment. Their deep-rooted connection, traditional knowledge and practices ensures a delicate ecological balance, protecting land and life across the landscape.

Happy World Rangers Day! Today we celebrate the brave men and women who form the frontline of conservation, working day and night across Tanzania's protected areas to safeguard endangered species, seek justice for wildlife crime, and preserve delicate ecosystems.

We are immensely proud to work alongside them, contributing to the delivery of the safest and most knowledgeable experiences for our guests.

Motivated by the unique perspective that makes you feel like you're amidst something special, we provide the opportunity to experience the great migration on foot. Walking alongside thousands of wildebeest and ungulates as they migrate towards grazing areas and water sources, you'll be surrounded by scenes where other animals seamlessly weave themselves into the intricate ecosystem shaped by this remarkable natural spectacle.

Lost in the vast expanse of Serengeti's beauty, with not a soul in sight. Sipping on a cold one, perched upon a rocky outcrop, the kopjes mirroring the day's magic. These are the moments that make a safari truly unforgettable.

The Lanner Falcon, known for its lightning-fast stoops and mesmerizing aerial displays, is a skilled predator that hunts small birds, rodents, and insects. Found across Africa in diverse habitats such as savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands, they embody the spirit of wild freedom.

Despite it being the low season here at Dorobo, we're far from idle! We're utilizing this downtime to focus on what truly matters - equipping our guides with the knowledge and skills needed to provide you with an expert safari experience. Check out our Instagram stories to catch a glimpse of the action from last week, where we took a group of new and seasoned guides out to the field for some intensive training.

These two male lions sensed there was something on the horizon, alert and curious they don't miss a beat on the Serengeti plains.

That scan across the plains in search of an animal carcass ready to be cleaned up..

The interconnected relationship between animals, plants, the environment are inextricably linked, each playing its role in maintaining a balanced and thriving ecosystem.

This is what resilience looks like. Despite facing numerous threats, including habitat loss and poaching, elephants continue to persevere and thrive in the Tanzanian wilderness. This magnificent elephant may be covered in dust, but its strength and beauty are undeniable. 🐘💪

Did you know that hyenas are skilled hunters and fiercely intelligent animals led by dominant females? Join us on a safari and witness these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. Hear their distinct laughter and discover the complex social structures of these incredible creatures!

As we arrived that day, we waved ’sopa’ (hello in Maa language) to the local Maasai guide before introducing our guests.

We only see some Maasai communities a few times yearly, the rest of the time they live traditionally without any other tourist vistors. Yet the years exploring Tanzania’s rangeland areas learning about local ecology and local practices of people means we have deep connections and friendships.

Bringing guests to spend time with these communities offers a unique cultural experience while the community benefits from visitor fees that support local development and conservation.

For International women’s day, we want to celebrate all the great women out there, with an extra special thank you to the women in our team. These women are a force to be reckoned with, possessing some of the most insane guiding skills and knowledge, ranging from the ability to sense a chameleon a mile off or driving through some of the trickiest black cotton soil! It's always an adventure and we are so proud to have you as part of the Dorobo Safari team. Here's to you!

As much as our guides are talented naturalists, some are also great photographers!

Check out our guide, Daudi Solomon’s epic photography, taken over the weekend. While we aim to show our clients every aspect of nature, we can often offer a handy photography tip or two!

Eyes on the prize.

Two hyenas stare each other down to take claim over the best pieces left from a lion kill. There's absolutely no waste in the Serengeti ecosystem with this clan around.

Special times with special people!

The best part, of being on a walking safari, is the anticipation of what might be around the next corner. Or in this case, what might come in for a drink at a waterhole!
