I am in awe of their unique black-and-white stripes. They are such elegant creatures that blend perfectly into the African savannah. It is quite difficult to choose a favorite place in Tanzania as the country is filled with mesmerizing landscapes and wildlife. However, if I had to pick one, it would be the Serengeti National Park. The vast open plains and the annual migration of millions of animals is truly a sight to behold. My favorite part of my job is witnessing the positive impact we have on both the local communities and the environment. Through our sustainable practices, we are able to support the livelihoods of the local people while conserving the incredible natural resources that Tanzania has to offer.
