Travel with purpose - The Timbo Afrika Foundation

The Timbo Afrika Foundation, a Dutch registered non-profit organisation was born out of the passionate support and motivation of our owner, Mr Albert Hartog in 2009. Established to develop and maintain research and conservation initiatives in Africa, Timbo Afrika Foundation  is the spearhead behind our alternative activities in the Tuli and other initiatives, for example the Furs For Life project.

In rural Zululand, leopard skins are sought after by traditional leaders for their status and power tokens within communities. This naturally, was putting extreme pressure on the local leopard population which was being hunted out. Timbo Afrika was responsible for sourcing and producing artificial leopard skins that alleviated this poaching pressure.

All the profits generated through our commercial operations flow back to the Foundation and are re-invested in the execution of our projects in Botswana and Mozambique. Such as creating game corridors, reintroduction of endangered wildlife such as the Rhinoceros, and creating jobs for local communities in our area. Everything is locally produced and we try to keep it that way.

Chairman of the Board Dick Zeldenthuis, ensures that not only funds are being raised but also dedicated in the correct manner.
