Support World Wildlife Day and Book a Safari

The animals and plants that live in the wild have an intrinsic value and contribute to the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects of human well-being and to sustainable development.

World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people. At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime and human-induced reduction of species, which have wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.

Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration

World Wildlife Day will be celebrated in 2022 under the theme “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration”, as a way to draw attention to the conservation status of some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora, and to drive discussions towards imagining and implementing solutions to conserve them.

Celebrate World Wildlife Day

Tourism in Africa contributes much needed money, a good portion of which goes towards funding the fight against poaching and enhancing the lifestyles of the local people, making it less necessary for them to hunt the indigenous wildlife.

Here are just some suggestions of African Safaris where your money really does help protect the wildlife and help local communities.  Elephant Watch Camp in Samburu is home to Saba Douglas-Hamilton and her family where they work with Save The Elephants and Ewaso Lions. Tent With A View in Tanzania support the local Turtle Protection projects and have a conservation and education centre where they teach the local children about the predators in Saadani and other local conservation issues. In South Luangwa, Zambia many safari companies support local schools, educating the children about wildlife and employing families from the local village, they also support anti-poaching patrols in the national park. Visit the mountain gorillas in Rwanda or Uganda and your permit money goes directly to anti-poaching patrols and protecting the gorillas in the Virunga Mountains.

In the Indian Ocean, several Seychelles islands are natural reserves and Mauritius is home to many endangered species protection projects, particularly for birds such as the Pink Pigeon and Mauritius Kestrel.  In Arabia, you can stay at Al Maha Desert Camp which works with the Al Ain Desert Conservation project and supported re-introductions of Arabian Oryx.
