Conservation Legacy: Your Stay, Their Sanctuary

At Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, every luxurious stay actively contributes to the long-term preservation of this iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site and its surrounding communities. The lodge maintains deep partnerships with neighbouring Maasai communities, employing local Maasai as guides, protectors, and cultural ambassadors while supporting Maasai women’s organizations like Sidai Designs and the Maasai Womens Development Organisation through boutique sales of handmade jewellery and accessories.

Proceeds from game drives, walking safaris, select retail items, and guest donations fund the on-site Discovery Centre, which supports vital wildlife initiatives such as the Serengeti Rhino Conservation Project and the Frankfurt Zoological Society’s De-Snaring Project, alongside community outreach like aid for a safe house protecting vulnerable girls and educational support for local schools.

Guests can participate directly in meaningful conservation efforts: join guided walking safaris with Maasai warriors and naturalists to install camera traps that monitor and protect wildlife, or engage in tree-planting activities (particularly popular with families through the Kids’ Club). The interactive Discovery Centre serves as a hub for learning about the Serengeti’s ecosystem, history, and ongoing research, allowing visitors to get involved in data collection and deepen their understanding of responsible tourism.

From powering the lodge with a groundbreaking solar farm that reduces emissions to promoting local artisans and providing training for Tanzanian youth, Four Seasons ensures your safari experience not only immerses you in the wild beauty of the Serengeti but also leaves a lasting positive legacy for its people and wildlife.
