Welcome to soulful Tanzania!
Nasikia Camps play a vital role in the long-term conservation of environment at all locations: people from villages bordering the Serengeti/Ngorongoro are employed in the camp, advising on the authenticity and environmental impact of the camp and income from the camp goes towards our community development commitments – education and employment.
By encouraging self-awareness and good leadership at a focused, grass-roots level, we envision that our partner communities will pull themselves out of poverty. This will therefore achieve sustainability for the projects and at the same time, the communities will become stable, imaginative and progressive contributors to the preservation of the country’s wildlife, ancient cultures and wilderness.
Our camps were designed to give back to the local community, and the desire to help people has been channelled into educational programs, including starting and expanding schools, nutritious porridge programs and paying school fees. Today, Nasikia feeds around 2,500 children across three schools, while investing in the education of individuals from across the Arusha community.
