The Moyowosi Game Reserve, located in western Tanzania, is one of the country’s most important wildlife habitats. Known for its vast wetlands, savannahs, and diverse species, it is also a place where poaching pressures remain a constant threat.

To protect this wilderness, Adam Clements Safaris has invested significant time and resources into anti-poaching operations in the area. Their commitment goes beyond hunting management; it includes supporting patrol teams, equipment, and local initiatives aimed at preserving wildlife for future generations.

Fighting Poaching on the Frontline

In this short documentary, Tristan Peacock, Head of Anti-Poaching, shares his experiences from the field. He discusses the trials and tribulations of combating poaching in such a vast and challenging environment, from confronting heavily armed poachers to navigating limited resources and logistical difficulties.

Despite the obstacles, Peacock highlights progress made and outlines a vision for the future—one in which continued collaboration between private operators, local communities, and government authorities ensures the long-term survival of endangered species in the Moyowosi.

Looking Ahead

The work in the Moyowosi Game Reserve underscores a critical truth: successful conservation requires not just passion, but also sustained investment, coordination, and innovation. Through such efforts, reserves like Moyowosi can remain safe havens for Tanzania’s wildlife heritage.
