About Friends of Serengeti

Friends of Serengeti is a nonprofit organization that uses sustainable travel to preserve this ecosystem.

We believe that the success of sustainable tourism will be the deciding factor in whether the Serengeti ecosystem will survive. The key element in sustainable tourism is the involvement of local people, bringing awareness and tangible social and economic benefits from tourism.

We get support from the travel industry and travelers. We use these funds for conservation, education, and benefits to people living within and around protected natural areas. Grants are made to our local Tanzanian nonprofit organization.
