Overview

Step into the story.

In the sweeping savannas of northern Tanzania, where the lines between people, wildlife, and wilderness blur, we’re joining forces with Maasai communities and local vets to protect it all.

This is more than an adventure — it’s a One Health mission. Every vaccination, every conversation, every fence built and child inspired is part of rewriting the story for people, animals, and the wild they share. 

Together, we’ll:

  • Run mobile veterinary clinics for donkeys, dogs, and livestock — bringing care to animals that have never seen a vet before.

  • Join local doctors and nurses at a human health outreach to witness how people, animals, and ecosystems are intertwined — the One Health principle in action.

  • Build beehive fences — simple, brilliant, life-changing barriers that keep elephants out of farms and create income for families.

  • Lead community talks and animal welfare workshops, sharing practical tools to improve livelihoods, health, and conservation outcomes.

  • Take Maasai children on safari to meet the elephants, lions, and giraffes they share their land with — and plant seeds of the next generation of conservationists.

  • Launch the first PenPal program connecting Maasai students with others around the world — proving conservation is a global story we all share

  • Engage in a workshop on Maasai land rights, conservation leadership, and the future of coexistence — exploring how changing landscapes and expanding boundaries are reshaping the relationship between people, wildlife, and place.

And when the work is done, we’ll step into the wild itself — from the legendary Ngorongoro Crater to the endless plains of Tarangire — to see exactly what all the effort is protecting.

Radical Transparency, Real Impact

When you step into this mission, you’re not just showing up — you’re directly funding every piece of it. Your contribution makes the clinics possible, covers the medicines and surgical supplies, puts beehive fences in the ground, and pays for Maasai children to see elephants and lions in the wild for the very first time.

Nothing abstract. No mystery. Every dollar goes straight into the work you’ll be part of. At the end of the mission, you’ll receive a breakdown of exactly what was achieved — and the story you helped write.
