Who We Are

Born from Africa.
Built for Africa.

Africa Guardians is a Tanzania-based organisation dedicated to raising conservation awareness through the power of African cinema. We believe the stories most worth telling about this continent should be told by the people who live them.

We run training workshops, fund conservation film projects, and maintain an open archive of stories documenting both the beauty and the fragility of Africa's wild places.
