>> Imagine living without a bank account – without a way to safely save money or access credit for your small business. The nearest bank is four hours away by bus, and the bus only runs every three hours. This is the reality for the 72 members of the Conservation Savings Group, over 70% of whom are women. The group lives in a small village on the outskirts of Serengeti National Park and belongs to the Ikoma community – once a traditionally hunting and gathering community.

In addition to lacking access to banking services, they face further challenges: elephants destroy their crops, grazing their animals within the protected Serengeti area is prohibited, and the once-vital practice of hunting is now illegal – with penalties of up to 30 years in prison.

So, how do they manage to survive despite all these obstacles, work toward a better future, and help protect the Serengeti ecosystem? You’ll uncover this during your unforgettable safari in Serengeti National Park.
