Note from Barry Childs, Founder and Board Chair
For over two decades, Africa Bridge has worked to lift vulnerable families out of poverty through empowerment and partnership. Our new collaboration with the African Wildlife Foundation and the Manyara Ranch Management Trust extends that vision—uniting people and wildlife in shared prosperity across the Tarangire–Manyara Corridor.
The Tarangire–Manyara Wildlife Corridor Project (Esilalei Ward)
In the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro and along the plains that link the Serengeti to Ngorongoro lies the Tarangire–Manyara Ecosystem — where iconic wildlife meets rural villages. Here, elephants, lions, leopards, and buffaloes roam freely between Tarangire and Manyara National Parks through a fragile corridor of land.
This vital landscape faces a shared challenge: protecting endangered species while helping people build better lives. More than 50,000 people call this region home, many living in extreme poverty. When families struggle to survive, they often turn to clearing land or hunting wildlife — choices driven by need, not neglect.
To change this story, the African Wildlife Foundation, the Manyara Ranch Management Trust, and Africa Bridge, have joined forces. Together, we are helping families achieve prosperity through agricultural cooperatives, education, and small-enterprise development — ensuring that communities thrive while protecting one of East Africa’s last great wildlife corridors.
By empowering the people who share this land, we also protect the wildlife that depends on it. Join us in building a future where both people and wildlife flourish.
