The places we take you to are treasures to cherish, and it’s non-negotiable to us that we operate a responsible company that plays a vital role in preserving this continent for future generations.
Our camps are eco-friendly, and your stay with us contributes to projects like The Future Generations Trust in Uganda and The Kilimanjaro Project in Tanzania.

The Batwa, pejoratively known as the Pygmies of the West because of their height, are one of the oldest surviving tribes in Africa. They are a highly vulnerable, marginalized and endangered group of people.
In 1991 Uganda created the Bwindi Impenetrable Park with the aim of saving the endangered gorillas and thus promoting tourism. The indigenous people who lived there, the Batwa (also called Twa), were forced to leave the park without compensation or land to live on. The Batwa quickly lost their rights to harvest honey, medicinal plants and collect wood from the forest, activities of their daily lives.
Yvonne Hernández and her son Eduardo González have been traveling to Uganda since 2009. There they collaborate with Ugandan families and groups in need such as the Batwa.
BATWA EMPOWERMENT VILLAGE
The Batwa Empowerment Village (BEV) is located 200 meters off the main road to Bwindi-Buhoma in a beautiful lush, green valley with a steady stream running through it. Lands that have been secured for the Batwa run up the hillside to the border of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, so the Batwa are never far from their beloved forest, even if they are not yet permitted to enter it to secure traditional foods or medicines.
The Batwa Empowerment Village (BEV) was set up as a Non-Government Organization (NGO) established as a Cultural Foundation for the Rights of Indigenous Batwa in Southwestern Uganda.
A major goal of the organization is to give hope to the needy Batwa by providing social welfare, economic opportunities and educational empowerment. Just as importantly, B.E.V. strives as much as possible to preserve the Batwa’s unique culture while still being able to live sustainably with pride and dignity in a modern society.
We are a not for profit community hospital under the auspices of the Church of Uganda in the Diocese of Kinkiizi. We offer preventative and curative services to 120,000 people but our specialized services are of nationwide benefit.

We offer a number of services that include; Outpatient and Inpatient, Child health, Maternal health, Community health and Batwa, Dental and Eye health care, Diagnostics and Laboratory, Mental health,Chronic Care, Accident and Emergency Services, Ambulance services, HIV/AIDS and TB care, Youth friendly services and eQuality health insurance.

Poaching remains a major challenge to conservation in Tanzania. In the Serengeti, tour operators are now supporting Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) by funding the Frankfurt Zoological Society supported de-snaring program in the Serengeti.
Experienced teams under the Tanzania National Parks Authority work with former poachers
Regular searches in the most troubled areas of the Serengeti National Park

Hundreds of animals released alive from snares
Disrupting snaring and meat poaching in the park
Strong support from the Tanzania National Parks Authority and tourism operators in the park
Driven by our passion for Africa and its future generations, we consciously assist communities to develop in a sustainable and environmentally-conscious manner, whilst simultaneously protecting and conserving the wildlife within tourism areas of Uganda.
A grassroots community driven restoration initiative, with a dedicated and diverse team of experts, on a mission to grow millions of trees and accelerate ecosystem restoration in Africa, starting at the foothills of Kilimanjaro.
he Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit (VFAPU) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of our local wildlife and natural resources.
Surrounded by the Victoria Falls National Park, the town of Victoria Falls is located in one of the most beautiful environments on earth, with unspoiled expanses of wilderness, abundant wildlife and spectacular settings, drawing tourists from around the world.
However, the beauty of the location comes with some heavy burdens of human and animal conflict. VFAPU tries to ease some of the burdens by protecting the wildlife and habitat from poacher pressure (subsistence and commercial), as well rescuing and rehabilitating animals injured by human interference. Additionally, we do all we can to train ex-poachers in new skills so they find alternative avenues of revenue creation to give them a sustainable income without doing harm to flora and fauna. Education is also important, and VFAPU and its partners try to reach children at an early age through school and community awareness programs.
Did you know that childhood cancer is curable when diagnosed early? 85% of kids with cancer in resource rich settings are fully cured. Tumaini La Maisha has been working across Tanzania for 13 years supporting hospitals (including KCMC), providing chemotherapy, nutrition, supportive medications, diagnostics and other childhood cancer services free of charge to all children in need.
Tanzania’s children’s cancer care story began with the treatment of just 100 children in 2005, when survival rates barely reached 10%. Fast forward to 2023, TLM supported over 1,000 new patients with survival rates now reaching to 50%. Learn more about our efforts on our website www.wearetlm.org
While these achievements are indeed noteworthy, there’s still so much ground to cover on our path to reach every child in need and continue to close the cure gap. There are so many children who tragically die before they reach the care they need and deserve.
TLM is committed to reaching every single child – but we need your support to do this – small donations from many donors can make a massive impact to this urgent need – can you help us spread childhood cancer care across Tanzania?
The Uganda Carnivore Program (UCP) is a multi-disciplinary organization, devoted to the research and conservation of Uganda’s large carnivores—lions, leopards, and hyenas. Our work is primarily carried out in Queen Elizabeth National Park and the greater Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area, though we are sometimes called upon to assist in other protected areas in Uganda, including Murchison Falls National Park, Kidepo Valley National Park, and Lake Mburo National Park.
We support the Uganda Wildlife Authority to recover and manage protected areas, promoting regional recovery and reducing poaching and wildlife crime. We believe that sustainability lies in providing rangers with the tools they need to do their jobs, such as specialist training, equipment and boosting morale.
