TESTIMONIALS

What They’re Talking About

I’m an American college student who spent a summer working for the African Wildlife Foundation! I spent 6 weeks of my time in Tanzania living on Manyara Ranch and was lucky enough to learn about all of their incredible programs. They are also conveniently located near Makuyuni, a small town with anything you might need. It was a great experience and a lovely area; I would go for a walk in the morning at the field office and see zebras and giraffes!”
