WASHINGTON, DC--AWF is pleased to invite members to participate in an exceptional 13-day safari to Tanzania in late July that will be led by AWF’s Craig Sholley.

The trip is limited to 12 participants and offers an outstanding opportunity to visit some of the great safari destinations of Tanzania while learning about conservation projects that link wildlife protection with improving human well-being.

"It is a special treat to travel with Craig Sholley. He is an outstanding naturalist, seasoned guide and terrific photographer, whose knowledge of Africa, wildlife and AWF’s program is unsurpassed. Everyone who has had the chance to travel to Africa with Craig is treated to a life-changing experience," says Gregg Mitchell, AWF's Vice President of Marketing and Philanthropy.

The 13-day trip begins on July 25 and extends through August 7. The cost is $6,360 plus air fare. Designed exclusively for AWF members, the trip is structured as a “high-end” safari at a price that is far more affordable than one might otherwise expect.

This trip will include visits to AWF’s elephant science camp in the West Kilimanjaro region as well as to the wonderful Tarangire National Park and AWF’s Manyara Conservation Ranch in the Maasai Steppe Heartland. Travelers will proceed to the Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site, and to the spectacular Serengeti National Park.

"Having taken a very similar trip, I can personally attest to how wonderful this safari will be," says Gregg. "AWF plans trips like this on occasion for our exceptional supporters, people whose charitable giving means so much to us."
