We spoke to Patrick Gatamu, TRP manager, to learn more about the work of the project and how they goals have shifted during the drought.

the safari series has been investing our profits into Timau River Project for over a year as a part of our ‘Give A CCR:AP’ framework. By 2050, The Safari Series aims to give away 100% of our profits.

It’s been fun re-stocking the camp’s shop and one of the new additions are these amazing t-shirts - beautifully modeled by Elijah and Romilly.

The design has been months in the making. Lolldaiga Hills’ caves are full of ancient African rock art (some of the best in the area in our opinion!) and so we enlisted the help of Nairobi artist, Wanjira Kinyui (check out her amazing Instagram page @born_on_the_way) to come up with a beautiful design that appreciated not human history and culture but that also celebrated the beauty of the art found there.

Last year, The Safari Series pledged to ‘Declare A Climate Emergency’. This meant we signed up with 500 other members of the tourism industry to declare that we believe that the threat of climate chance is upon us and only if we act now can we prevent lifelong and catastrophic damage to our eco-systems. You can read our pledge here.

During the last couple of months, we have been focusing a lot on training with the staff in order to maintain and improve our skills and staff presence around the camp. Our most recent training was on sustainability and climate change.

The Safari Series has signed up to Tourism Declares, an initiative that supports tourism businesses, organisations and individuals in declaring a climate emergency and taking purposeful action to reduce their carbon emissions as per the advice from The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to cut global carbon emissions to 55% below 2017 levels by 2030.
