Eco-Tourism program
help us Harness the Transformative Power of Eco-Tourism in Tanzania
with your help we can fully Harness the Transformative Power of Eco-Tourism in Tanzania
Eco-tourism holds unparalleled potential to combat poverty and drive sustainable development across Tanzania. By directly engaging local communities in eco-tourism initiatives, we can create meaningful employment, preserve cultural heritage, and safeguard Tanzania’s extraordinary natural resources. As of 2018, nearly 44.9% of the population lived below the international poverty line of $2.15 per day (World Bank). The need for sustainable solutions has never been more urgent—and eco-tourism offers a path to economic empowerment and environmental preservation.
We invite you to be at the heart of an extraordinary mission. Through innovative eco-tourism initiatives, we’re tackling two of humanity’s greatest challenges: environmental degradation and poverty. By supporting our programs, you become a champion for change—uplifting lives and preserving Tanzania’s stunning natural heritage for future generations.
Your support makes you a champion of change. Eco-tourism not only generates jobs and supports local businesses but also serves as a catalyst for preserving Tanzania’s natural and cultural heritage. Every donation you make contributes to creating opportunities for underserved communities, fostering economic growth, and implementing eco-friendly practices that protect Tanzania’s biodiversity for generations to come. Together, we can transform lives, uplift communities, and build a sustainable future.
Your generosity fuels meaningful change. Let’s reduce poverty and conserve the environment and world heritage—together!

A contribution of £50,000 will restore 100 hectares of grassland, impacting 50,000 animals annually. As a Grassland Champion, you’ll receive exclusive updates, a guided Serengeti safari, and your name on restoration project plaques.

Restore Kilimanjaro’s Forests and Protect Livelihoods
Why This Matters: Deforestation on Mount Kilimanjaro’s slopes has reduced water retention, increased soil erosion, and jeopardised the livelihoods of 250,000 people who depend on its ecosystem. Reforestation addresses these challenges by restoring degraded areas, enhancing biodiversity, and creating a legacy of conservation.
Environmental impact: Planting 1 million native trees annually will restore 1,000 hectares, capturing 5,000 tons of CO₂ each year. Economic: Reforestation creates over 2,000 jobs for nursery workers, guides, and eco-tourism staff.
Your Recognition as a Donor:
