Gillead Safaris

Sustainability

Tanzania's wildlife is the reason we exist. How we work has to show it.

Small operator, honest promises

We're not a conservation charity, and we won't pretend to be. This is what we actually do on the ground.

Your safari pays for the rangers

Park and conservation fees fund anti-poaching patrols and habitat care. Every trip we run is a reason for this land to stay wild.

Arranged with the village, not for it

Our guides are Tanzanian. Cultural visits are agreed directly with the community you meet.

The animal always comes first

We keep our distance, stay on the tracks and never crowd a sighting. No photo is worth stressing a lion.

Travel lightly

Leave the plastic bags at home

Tanzania banned them in 2019. Pack in fabric or reusable bags.

Ask before the photo

A smile and a question first, especially on village visits.

Carry it out

On the mountain and in the bush, everything that goes in comes back out.
