Tanzania: A Coastal exchange of sustainable island and game safari

For 15 years Berkeley-based nonprofit Seacology has worked to preserve the environments and cultures of undeveloped islands around the world. It does so by collaborating with local communities in places such as Fiji and Tonga to provide critical social services—medical clinics, schools—in exchange for locally backed conservation initiatives. This year, for the first time, the organization has opened its expeditions to the public, and in February, Seacology leads its debut trip to Tanzania's Chumbe Island, Lake Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Crater.

With staff ecologists as guides, you'll check out Zanzibar's spice markets, snorkel and hike Chumbe Island (the first official marine park in Tanzania). The trip wraps with six days of safari game drives through Lake Manyara National Park, also called "the loveliest park in Africa," and in the Ngorongoro Crater, where your arrival coincides with the greatest annual wildebeest migration. So get ready to explore!
