Our Mission

Six Rivers Africa’s mission is to protect, restore and preserve some of the most remote and deteriorating parts of southern and western Tanzania.

Our Approach

Six Rivers Africa has a tried-and-tested model, working alongside local authorities and government officials. This creates a unique opportunity to make a real difference in one of the core ecosystems in Africa.

We believe it is important to work from the facts, allowing local communities to take ownership, which is why our approach is data driven and ‘Tanzanian led’.

Our Work

Six Rivers Africa has developed five core pillars that we believe will create the foundations for a successful project, to restore and preserve wilderness areas.

Core pillars

Five core pillars underpin the Six Rivers Africa approach – to bring about change through research, protection, restoration, community, and sustainability.
