Background

In appreciation for all the beauty and inspiration this amazing country has given us, it is time to GIVE BACK. It is our privilege to support several humanitarian projects and conservation efforts that have a positive impact the lives of the local people and wildlife in real, tangible ways. As a direct result of our efforts, children have gotten the basic medical attention they needed to survive and a proper education to rise above otherwise hopeless circumstances; more precious animals, some critically endangered, now have a real chance at sustained survival in the wild where they belong.

Our main sponsorship projects to date including the Foundation for African Medicine and Education, Serengeti Lion Conservation, Serengeti Cheetah Conservation, Poli Village School, The Peace House Orphanage and The School of St Jude. Sustained focus on these projects has resulted in real, lasting success. In addition to continuing our support of these efforts, we also hope to participate in many more such projects in the future!

Charitable Options

By choosing Africa Dream Safaris, you will partner with our front-line efforts to improve the lives of the local people and conserve the precious wildlife that make their home here. And it is WORKING! We will be so grateful to have you on our team moving forward.

Hospital Visit

Tour the Foundation for African Medicine and Education (F.A.M.E.), a charitable organization that was founded to provide quality medical care to the local people living in rural Tanzania.

Monthly donations by Africa Dream Safaris help F.A.M.E. provide invaluable medical care to people living in the District of Karatu, a rural region between Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.

All guests traveling with Africa Dream Safaris are invited to stop by the FAME facility in Karatu for a brief tour and presentation. This excursion can be conducted on any safari itinerary as the FAME facility is located right off the main road between the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. This brief tour is highly recommended and praised by returning guests.

Orphanage Visit

By 2010, an estimated 20 million children under the age of 15 will have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Without parents to support them, many children are often forced to abandon school. Without an education, orphans face a bleak future with little hope. A survey of over 400 households with orphans in Tanzania reported that almost 40% could not cover even basic expenses. The most common difficulty was covering school fees, including those for materials and uniforms.

Guests travelling with Africa Dream Safaris are welcome to tour the facilities at a local orphanage in Arusha. This excursion can be conducted with an Arusha layover or on the last day of your safari if departing on the late night KLM flight.

School Visit

In addition to a range of other cultural and charitable outreach opportunities, we offer our guests a chance to visit The School of St Jude, a charity funded school that provides a free, high-quality primary and secondary education to over 1,600 of the poorest, brightest children of the Arusha region in Tanzania. Here they can meet students – who come from the poorest families in Arusha – and find out how one classroom in 2002 has grown into three campuses, two boarding houses and a centre of employment for over 450 local Tanzanians.

This excursion can be conducted with an Arusha layover or on the last day of your safari if departing on the late night KLM flight.
