As we reflect on 2024, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to you for being an essential part of our journey – whether you use our expertise and knowledge for travel in Africa, browse our website or meet us on our safaris. Your unwavering support has been the driving force behind many of our efforts to make a tangible difference in Africa’s conservation, communities, and wildlife. We have achieved so much during this past year, and your commitment means the world to us.

We have worked tirelessly to protect-preserve our wilderness and its incredible flora-fauna, support local communities, and enhance the lives of those who call this beautiful continent home. Your support has helped us make meaningful contributions, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

1. In Rwanda, we renewed our commitment to education by supporting Teach Rwanda, providing full-time scholarships to two secondary school students. Bill and Jan from Teach Rwanda have witnessed their progress, and their success fills us with pride. Additionally, we helped establish a sustainable volunteer program that combined hands-on learning with an unforgettable Gorilla trekking experience, empowering international travelers to contribute to meaningful change at Bright school.
2. In Kenya, we continued our support for education through our partnership with Help Aid Africa, allocating 20% of their school tuition budget to students in need. We also made a significant impact on healthcare by sustaining our monthly contributions to Safari Doctors, whose medic boat serves remote communities with essential healthcare services.
3. Our efforts to protect wildlife in Kenya extended to Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, where we renewed our support for orphaned elephants, giraffes, and rhinos, giving them the chance to thrive in their natural habitats.
4. In Zanzibar, we strengthened our partnership with the Zanzibar International Development Organization (ZIDO), supporting projects that provide clean water, food, healthcare, and empowering women through micro-financing initiatives. Together, we’re creating lasting change for the people of Zanzibar.
5. In Tanzania, we supported the creations of Neptune Hotel’s brand new 2025 Serengeti safari camp, helping them select, design and build a world-class experience that celebrates East African hospitality and sustainable tourism. We also continued our monthly support for The School of Saint Jude, providing free education to students, and WIPAHS, which supports various charitable initiatives.
6. On an international scale, we continued to support life-changing initiatives, including the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley in the United States, Smile Train, and Give Directly, which helps marginalized communities with Universal Basic Income.

As we move into the new year, we are energized by the change we have created and the example we have set for others. We are passionate about leaving the world a better place than we found it and genuinely ensuring that every traveler who visits Africa feels the warmth of our hospitality and becomes part of the solution.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with us. Your support allows us to keep pushing forward, creating lasting impacts on conservation, education, healthcare, and so much more. We truly believe through your travels with AfricanMecca and the work we do with effective grassroots organizations, we can build a brighter future for Africa and the world. As we say in Kiswahili – Tuko Pamoja! (We are all in it together)

We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous new year, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you in 2025, and see what else we can do.
