Conservation

Meet the rangers and scientists making a difference for endangered animals in Tanzania at the famous Frankfurt Zoological Society’s Serengeti location.

Learn about efforts to halt habitat destruction and encourage population growth with cheetahs, rhinos and elephants that live in the area.

This is a fantastic add-on for any safari visiting Serengeti National Park.

A unique chance to learn about the longest-running cheetah research project in the world. It has been in operation since 1975. This comprehensive study has resulted in some of the most in-depth research available about cheetahs, and has several initiatives to address the biggest dangers facing cheetahs in the wild.

Learn more about cheetahs – and how to keep them safe during a visit to Serengeti National Park.

Visit one of Tanzania’s most interesting national parks: Mkomazi, for a chance to see the only Black Rhino sanctuary in Tanzania, dedicated to saving this important species from the brink of extinction.
Visitors can drive through the rhino sanctuary, accompanied by a park ranger and learn about the efforts to protect Black Rhinos.

We recommend at least two days to enjoy this park, including the Rhino Sancutary, to the fullest.

Wild Dogs (also known as African Painted Dogs) are found only in a few areas throughout all of Africa.
The fearsome pack animals face a decreasing population because farmers put out poison for them, usually in revenge for killing off animals in their flocks and herds.
Today, they are on the list as endangered animals.

Mkomazi National Park is working to combat this by running a successful breeding program, which also vaccinates the dogs against diseases that threaten to wipe out entire packs.
Visit this program to learn about one of the most unique conservation efforts running in Tanzania.

Stationed within Gombe Stream National Park is the longest-running chimpanzee research center, started by Jane Goodall herself.

Known affectionately as a ‘living laboratory’ a visit to the research center means meeting the next generation of Tanzanian scientists, learning about the strategies to stop habitat loss and protect these important primates. 

These visits are available for tours to Western Tanzania.

Poaching is a real threat to wildlife in Tanzania. Consider adding an interview with a park ranger to any safari experience at a national park.

This is an excellent way to meet the real people dedicated to prevent poaching in Tanzania.

The Nature Conservancy works in over 80 countries to combat climate change, rebuild forests, protect delicate reefs and guard precious animal habitats around the world.

We are fortunate to have a local country office in Arusha, convenient to visit on any Northern Safari Circuit Tour.

Take a few hours to learn about the work Nature Conservancy is doing in local communities and in the areas you’ll visit during your time in Tanzania.
