Tafakari is our site for the giraffe preserve.  It is part of Maasai territory and our shared vision of growing this space will ensure both giraffe safety and Maasai protection. Visiting the local Maasai and the Maasai of Ngorongoro helps the local people and supports our cause. The Maasai are deeply committed to giraffe conservation.

When you schedule your visit to  meet with Maasai you will like want to see other iconic sights. Your Twiga Support person will help you choose the vacation that will be enchant you most. Your air travel will be part of your package and you will be met at the airport and taken to a clean, comfortable hotel. Your itinerary depends on what you choose but you will definitely spend two days with Maasai, learning spear throwing, how to make fire and how to live off the land.

This is one of the most affordable vacations in Africa. The Ngorongoro crater is the birthplace of humanity where you can walk in lava footprints thousands of years old and travel the edge of the crater to see nearly every animal from one vantage point. In the evening sit with Maasai, and learn about life and death, friendship and love, and the sheer joy of being alive.
