Conservation at Land of Nature Africa

Conservation at Land of Nature Africa

Conservation is not a programme we run alongside our business — it is the reason our business exists. Land of Nature Africa was founded on the belief that responsible tourism is one of the most effective tools for protecting Tanzania's wildlife and the communities that share the land with it.

Protecting Ecosystems

Our camps operate within two of northern Tanzania's most important ecosystems: the Serengeti and Tarangire. Both face ongoing threats from habitat encroachment, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change. We contribute directly to conservation in these areas through park fee payments, support for anti-poaching patrols, and participation in ecosystem monitoring programmes. Our guides report wildlife sightings, poaching indicators, and ecological changes to park authorities as part of a collaborative approach to ecosystem management.

Community Partnership

We believe that conservation succeeds only when local communities benefit from the wildlife that surrounds them. When a village near the Serengeti or Tarangire sees tangible benefits from tourism — employment, education funding, healthcare support, infrastructure development — its people become active protectors of the wildlife that brings those benefits. We employ over 90% of our staff from communities adjacent to the parks, invest in local education through scholarship programmes, and support village healthcare clinics through direct funding and supply provision.

Environmental Practices

Both our camps operate on solar power, use water conservation systems, and have eliminated single-use plastics from all guest-facing operations. We source food from local farmers and suppliers wherever possible, reducing transport emissions and supporting the local economy. Waste is carefully managed with composting, recycling, and responsible disposal. Our camps are designed to sit lightly on the land — temporary structures that can be removed without permanent impact, allowing the bush to reclaim the ground should the camps ever close.

Wildlife Corridors

One of the most critical conservation challenges in northern Tanzania is maintaining the wildlife corridors that connect national parks to surrounding dispersal areas. These corridors are essential for species like elephants, which need vast ranges to sustain viable populations. We support community-based Wildlife Management Areas that serve as buffer zones around both the Serengeti and Tarangire, and we advocate for policies that protect these corridors from development and agricultural conversion.

Guest Contribution

Every guest who stays with us contributes to conservation simply by being here. Park fees fund national park management and anti-poaching operations. Employment at our camps provides alternatives to activities that might otherwise damage the ecosystem. And the stories our guests share when they return home — the photographs, the experiences, the emotional connection to wild Africa — build the global awareness and support that conservation ultimately depends upon.
