Welcome to Save the Planet Safaris with Prof. Mark Ritchie

Join a top scientist and expert naturalist on an exciting, exclusive 10-day journey deep into wildlife preserves in northern Tanzania, including Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. Explore rarely visited areas as you gain first hand experience with field research in the African savanna and learn how wildlife conservation leads to healthier ecosystems and may help slow global climate change. This is an exclusive, rare opportunity to expertly experience the African savanna in a way not possible with typical tour companies.

Even the most discriminating traveler won't find this opportunity elsewhere. ONLY Save the Planet Safaris and our contributions to developing carbon projects allow us to have the permits to go where other Safaris cannot.

Connect Intimately With the African Wilderness

Get that VIP feeling, courtesy of our African outfitter Safari365, as we take only up to 10 people in two Land Rovers off the road to hidden vistas. Enjoy both deluxe accommodations and the thrill of off-road travel and camping under the stars. See and photograph countless wildlife species, such as lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and astoundingly vast herds of gazelles, antelope and zebra, as well as a dizzying array of birds. Discover the great variety of habitats in northern Tanzania, including open grasslands, savanna woodlands, rivers, rocky escarpments, and rainforests. Get a “big picture” view of the African landscape and the geological and climate history that has produced possibly the greatest wildlife ecosystem on earth.
