At Mango Safaris we pride ourselves on being a conservation-based organization that gives back to the destinations we visit. Every trip we plan includes a contribution built into the trip cost for our chartiable efforts. We believe in supporting both the wildlife and the communities that make our destinations so special. Every year our team sits down together and discuss which organizations stand out to us, and which we feel are doing an outstanding job of conserving wildlife, developing communities or a combination of the two. Based on this we allocate our annual contributions.

Flying into Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy is an experience in and of itself. The dramatic craggy mountains of the Mathews Range encircle wide forested valleys, giving the impression that you’re entering a secret world as you descend from the sky to the airstrip below. As you step out of the Cessna, a herd of camels greets you, milling about in the scrub as their young herder tends to them. Though protected for wildlife conservation, this reserve still acts as the ancestral home to the Samburu people.

The Masai Mara in Kenya is perhaps one of the most famous destinations in Africa. Defined by its sweeping savannahs, it is home to a wide diversity of wildlife, including the vast herds of the Great Migration. Every year 2.5 million wildebeest and zebra move en masse in search of the best grazing and safest birthing grounds to drop their calves. Beyond the migration, the Masai Mara is home to incredible predator populations including cheetah, lion, leopard, hyena.
