Mount Kilimanjaro, standing at 5,895 meters, has the highest peak in Africa and is one of the world’s most iconic mountains.

It’s a dormant stratovolcano with three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira.

What makes Kilimanjaro unique is its diverse ecosystems—ranging from lush rainforests at its base to icy glaciers at the summit.
Over 1,000 plant species and a variety of wildlife thrive on the mountain, making it an ecological wonder.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is not just a physical challenge but an incredible journey through different climates and terrains. It’s a natural marvel that draws adventurers, scientists, and nature lovers from all over the globe to experience its beauty and grandeur.

Happy National Hippo Day! 🦛

These incredible creatures may seem calm and peaceful, but beneath the surface, they are powerful symbols of strength and resilience.

Hippos spend most of their time submerged in water, keeping cool in the heat, yet they are surprisingly fast on land.

Known for their territorial nature, they are considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.

They also play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of river ecosystems. Their grazing habits help control vegetation along riverbanks, preventing overgrowth that could otherwise disrupt the flow of water and alter the habitat for other animals.

As they spend a lot of time submerged, hippos also contribute to nutrient cycling by excreting large amounts of nutrient-rich waste into the water, which helps fertilize aquatic plants.

This, in turn, supports the food web, benefiting everything from tiny fish to large predators.

Join us on safari and learn more about this cornerstone species!

Right now, in the southern plains of the Serengeti ecosystem, the calving season is in full swing!

From January to March, thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and other ungulates are welcoming their new calves into the world.
With the rains bringing an abundance of fresh grass, it’s the perfect time for newborns to get a strong start.

Wildebeest calves are born after an 8-9 month pregnancy and are up on their feet within minutes, ready to join the herd.

This seasonal explosion of life brings a mix of excitement and danger, as predators aren’t far behind.

Come and experience the wonder of new life!

Buffalo calves are some of the most heartwarming sights in Tanzania’s wild.

Their oversized ears, wobbly first steps and playful energy make them impossible not to love, as they grow and learn within the safety of their herd.

Buffalo calves are born after about 11-12 months, ensuring they’re strong and ready to face the challenges of the wild. Mothers typically give birth during the rainy season when food and water are plentiful, giving the calves the best start in life.

These little ones can stand and walk within minutes of being born, which is crucial for keeping up with the herd that provides protection. Their early days are full of challenges, but with the herd’s care, they grow into one of the savanna’s most resilient and iconic animals - one of the Big Five!

Spotting a striped hyena is hitting nature’s jackpot - they’re incredibly rare to spot!

Hyenas are the underrated legends of the wild. They’re like nature’s cleanup crew, keeping ecosystems healthy by scavenging and ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Living in rugged, remote areas and mostly active at night, they’re true survivors and their black-and-white stripes and cool mohawk-like mane make them as unique as they are vital to Africa’s wild beauty.

Don't miss out on the experience of a lifetime! Reserve your spot on our safari now and be part of nature's grand spectacle.

Join us in making a difference by joining a 5-Day Elephant Conservation Program!

Join us in the heart of conservation near Mkomazi National Park, where people and elephants share the land - and the challenges it brings along.

Human-Elephant Conflict is a critical issue in Tanzania, primarily due to the competition for space and resources between humans and elephants, exacerbated by human habitat expansion, agricultural expansion, and population growth.
This conflict is threatening both elephant populations and the livelihoods of local communities - and we would like to welcome you to be part of the solution!

Program activities include elephant surveillance, community engagement, and joining locals in daily tasks like market visits or water collection. This isn’t just about protecting elephants, it’s about creating harmony between wildlife and the people who live alongside them. 🌿

Join us to make a tangible impact, immerse yourself in a working camp, and be part of a lasting solution.

Calving season is here!

And it's a remarkable time marking the birth of thousands of young animals across the savannah.

In the Serengeti, wildebeests and zebras give birth almost simultaneously, creating a nursery of life on the plains. This synchronized timing offers safety in numbers, as predators struggle to target so many newborns at once.

Calving season is not only a time of renewal but also a vivid display of the delicate balance in nature, where survival and growth intertwine in the great circle of life. Cause with so many newborns, predators are never far away ...

Join us on a life-changing safari and experience this spectacle yourself!

This is more than a journey, it's a perspective that changes you forever.

This buffalo and his feathered “friends” are a great example of teamwork in the animal kingdom!

Birds like oxpeckers (in the first photo) perch on the buffalo to feed on ticks and parasites, giving the buffalo a free grooming session while the birds get a meal. It’s a win-win situation!

With his loyal sidekicks on board, the buffalo looks like he’s hosting a party—proving that even in the wild, everyone needs a little help from their friends.

The Hadza people, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in the world, have been perfecting the art of hunting for thousands of years in Tanzania’s northern regions. With their deep knowledge of the land, they hunt using traditional methods like bows and arrows, often targeting game like antelope, baboons, and birds. Their hunting skills go beyond just the chase—they rely on a deep understanding of animal behavior, seasonal patterns, and the environment. For the Hadza, hunting is not just about sustenance; it’s a way of life that connects them to the land and to each other.
