Anti-poaching in the Moyowosi Game Reserve, Tanzania

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.
