Get upclose with Tanzania’s wild
Swahili Safaris takes you the most engaging experience to wildlife through Serval Wild which is a wildlife sanctuary 35 minutes way from the Kilimanjaro Airport. Our guests can feed, play, and interact with animals such as the zebra, giraffe, eland and also lions on sight.
ETHICAL WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS
Serval Wildlife sanctuary is over 1000 acres, prepared in phases and in accordance with the needs of our animals 50 acres at a time. Animals are ethically obtained from zoos & injured animals from the wild with the aim of instilling natural behaviours and eventually rehabilitating them into the wild with the assistance of TAWA and TAWIRI. The animals that reside within our wildlife sanctuary are owned by the Tanzanian Government and often brought to us by TAWA as orphans or injured wildlife. They treat and train animals to prepare them for release into their natural habitat within TANAPA protected parks.
Their wildlife sanctuary also doubles as an endangered species reintroduction platform to translocate animals to parts of its natural range where populations have significantly declined or been lost. Their aim is to establish a viable population within translocate areas. Upon arrival these animals were in poor condition, they have trained them and nursed them back to health. With assistance from TAWA these animals are being softly released from captivity into their natural habitat.
HEAVEN ON EARTH
“This place feels like heaven on earth! It’s like I’m dreaming! “
This is the feedback they receive daily. Serval Wildlife truly delivers an unmatched experience. They are the first 5-star resort in Africa located in an animal sanctuary. Wildlife interactions form a large proportion of all global tourist attractions.
Serval Wildlife aims to provide outstanding memories but also to raise awareness of the challenges and threats that these species face in their natural habitats.
