Our Commitment to the Environment and to the Community

Tanganyika Wilderness Camps (TWC) is committed to the long-term conservation of the environment and wildlife in Tanzania. It is very active supporting local schools and different environmental projects, managing donations from guests and contributing to the management of school projects. TWC works closely with the local communities in order to help improve the living conditions of the people.

It's not possible to develop any projects in Africa without partnering with the local communities. We strongly believe that the long-term conservation of wildlife in Africa will only be possible if the local people are directly involved in the projects and directly benefit from them.

As a result of this policy, we have established local joint ventures such as the creation of very efficient anti-poaching units. In each area our efforts are also strongly directed to the improvement of the schooling conditions, and last but not least, we have provided several villages with fresh water.
