We manage over 1,000 Langstroth hives, providing a safe environment for native bees that are essential to the resilience of the landscape. This hive design prioritizes the safety of the queen and allows us to harvest only a small portion of honey, leaving the rest intact for the colony. Using a centrifuge to extract the honey preserves the comb structure, ensuring minimal disruption to the bees’ ecosystem.
Occasionally, livestock predation occurs, but we work closely with pastoralists to address the issue. We fully reimburse any animal losses caused by lion or leopard activity in areas bordering our concessions. This approach has effectively eliminated the need for poisoning of these big cats and helps prevent additional hardship for Tanzania’s pastoral communities.
We collaborate with local schools to deliver relevant and practical conservation education. These students are the future champions of conservation, and empowering them is crucial for the long-term preservation of both habitats and species.
Whether aspiring to be doctors, game scouts, pilots, or scientists, we are committed to empowering local students by sponsoring their post-secondary education, opening doors to opportunities that shape their futures.
We are dedicated to ensuring that every child in our community has access to nutritious meals while at school, supporting their health and academic success.
Rungwa Game Safaris directly employs individuals from our local communities, while also creating numerous indirect job opportunities. We prioritize sourcing from locally-owned producers and businesses, offering alternatives to illegal grazing and bushmeat poaching. This not only helps preserve the land but also empowers our communities to thrive through sustainable practices, ensuring they can continue to live and work as their ancestors did, preserving their way of life for future generations.
We conduct regular training sessions in sustainable honey production for Maasai women, providing them with their own hives at no cost. This initiative offers a steady income for families, creates a platform for important conservation discussions, and contributes to a healthier environment by supporting pollinator populations.
Our anti-poaching teams provide year-round protection against snaring, poisoning, deforestation, and illegal grazing, often at great personal risk. These teams are composed of former poachers, who bring invaluable local knowledge and are given the opportunity to support their families through legal, sustainable means.
By building the Loiborserrit Secondary School and Science Laboratory, we are working to provide access to quality education for all children in our community, with a special focus on empowering girls.
Rungwa Game Safaris is committed to ensuring that communities surrounding our area have access to safe, reliable healthcare. We partner with the local clinic to supply essential medicines and resources, supporting the health and well-being of our neighbors.
