Based in Arusha and deeply rooted in Tanzania, we are more than…
At African Environments, we spend our days in some of Tanzania’s most extraordinary landscapes. These places – wild, remote, and deeply connected to everything we do – are also incredibly fragile. Caring for them isn’t an add-on. It’s a responsibility. That’s why we’re proud to be partnering with OKOTA Waste Management here in Arusha, as part of our ongoing…
At African Environments, the natural world isn’t just where we work – it’s at the heart of everything we do. From the open plains of the Serengeti to the forests of Kilimanjaro, we spend our days immersed in landscapes that are increasingly under pressure from climate change. So when the opportunity came up to be part of the World…
Tanzania has always been a place of extraordinary stories. From vast savannahs and dramatic wildlife encounters to rich cultural landscapes and remote, untouched wilderness – it’s no surprise that film crews from around the world are drawn here. This year alone, we’ve had the privilege of supporting a range of productions – each one unique, each one pushing us…
There’s a moment on a walking safari when everything shifts. You’re no longer observing the wilderness—you’re part of it.

Unlike traditional safaris, where much of the experience is viewed from a vehicle, walking safaris invite you to be part…
The world always seems to have something going on. News cycles move quickly, headlines can feel overwhelming, and sometimes it can make travelling feel more complicated than it really is. But here in Tanzania, life continues at its wonderfully steady rhythm. The rains have begun to fall, the air feels fresh, and the landscape is turning a vibrant shade…
In the heart of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, surrounded by vast open plains and the daily rhythms of pastoral life, sits Mysigio Primary School — a small rural school serving children from the local Maasai community. For many decades, Mysigio has been more than just a neighbouring school to us. It has been a place of connection, learning, and…
Last month, I went on a safari with African Environments, and memories of that extraordinary experience have dominated my thinking since I returned. It was my third safari, my second with African Environments, and it was far and away the best one. I travel a lot – last year I was out of the house 134 nights, about average…
Sustainability is often talked about in abstract terms — carbon offsets, pledges, and policies. At African Environments, sustainability is far more practical. It’s about how things work on the ground, how resources are used, and how value stays within the places we operate. This approach aligns closely with the principles of the circular economy — a system designed to…
