Evolving the Strategy: Returns with Real Impact
Our strategy is evolving.
When we started Conserve Safari, our focus was on performance — high-yield real estate, risk-adjusted returns, and generating alpha.
Numbers are still important — they’re what make operations financially sustainable, but there’s more to it.
I believe that conservation and community impact are not separate from the safari real estate business — they are at its core.
And so is the extraordinary experience of being in nature.
The word safari comes from Swahili and simply means a journey.
That’s exactly what this is — a journey of building something that connects people, protects ecosystems, and creates lasting value.
Evolving the Investor Narrative
We’re shifting from a purely financial message to one that invites investors to become part of a conservation-driven company that delivers steady returns and access to unforgettable experiences.
Ownership with Conserve isn’t only about yield that you can achieve with your diversified portfolio of global equities.
It’s about hosting your family and friends at properties you co-own inside Tanzania’s national parks, where every stay contributes to conservation and local livelihoods.
That, to me, is what real ownership feels like.
Challenges We Acknowledge
The safari real estate sector comes with real constraints — and that’s part of what makes it valuable.
Licensing barriers have limited new development, creating high demand for in-park accommodations. A short window remains to secure new licenses before environmental regulations tighten further.
And there should be limits — to ensure wildlife and ecosystems remain protected for generations to come.
We also recognize the inherent risks in this business: park regulation changes, rate adjustments, staff transitions, and shifts in policy.
Our focus is to navigate these complexities transparently, keeping the model as simple and sustainable as possible for us and our partners.
Refining Returns, Amplifying Impact
We’re also reducing pressure on promised returns.
While our model can achieve yields above 40–50% during strong seasons, we’re setting a consistent target of around 10% — stable, realistic, and long-term.
Any surplus beyond that can be directed toward community and conservation impact — training, education, and local infrastructure in the areas where we operate.
That’s how we balance financial performance with purpose.
The Conserve Safari Experience
Our ownership model includes access to experiences designed to connect investors more deeply with the places they protect:
10 Complimentary Nights / Year — to enjoy or gift to loved ones across any of our safari camps.
Concierge Safari Planning — our team handles every detail to ensure an exceptional journey.
Personal Photographer — a complimentary professional photographer to capture your stay and preserve those rare, once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Conserve Safari is about building a new kind of ownership — one that combines yield with stewardship, comfort with conservation, and business with meaning.
That’s the journey we’re on.
That’s what safari truly means.
