Our Story
The Legacy of Rains Downers’ carried with a Story of Family.
Beneath the towering presence of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, a love for the wild took root in the hearts of our grandparents.
They were born amidst the flourishing wildlife and wildlands of what their connection to nature wasn’t a choice – it was destiny.
These delicate ecosystems became their playgrounds but they had to deeply respect it and became a cornerstone of their lives. Their passion, a fire passed down through generations ignited a spark in us, their grandchildren.
We grew up listening to their several tales around the fireplace, Their voices were filled with awe and a deep concern for the land and wildlife.
Game reserves and National parks, became our own havens, where childhood adventures were woven with the whispers of the wind and the calls of exotic birds.
Witnessing the changes in the ecosystem, the increasing threats to wildlife, fueled a burning desire to change the state. We knew we had to carry the torch our grandparents lit, to ensure these wonders survived for generations after us.
And with no option, knowledge became to power. We enrolled ourselves at the best College of African Wildlife Management, immersing ourselves in the science of conservation in African ecosystem.
Determined to make a difference, we later joined the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI). Here, alongside dedicated researchers, we witnessed firsthand challenges and triumphs of protecting wildlife. This experience solidified our resolve, craved a way to share our passion with a wider audience.
So, we transitioned into the world of tourism, fortunate enough to gain experience with a very high-end travel companies in Africa. These years honed our skills in creating unforgettable Safari experiences, while also exposing us to the power of responsible tourism.
It was with love of Nature, Passion, Knowledge, Experience and a Burning desire to make a difference that Rains Down Africa Safari ( Rains Downers’ ) was born.
We believe that if tourism, done right, can be a powerful tool for conservation.
Joins us on safari and become part of the solution for our delicate ecosystem.
