We are unique in that we work with non-profit groups that have a vested interest in preserving African wildlife, environments and traditions.  We chose the name "Trinity Safaris" because it is a cooperative effort involving three main conservation organizations.

The directors of these organizations are:

Dr. Skip Elmer, MS, DVM Dr. Elmer earned his degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Michigan then traveled to Africa to complete his Master's degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation.  He has worked as the co-director for university Wildlife Study Abroad programs and is involved in HAPA Tanzania, a wildlife conservation organization, as well as the West Kilimanjaro Land Trust project.
Pete and Charlotte O'Neal The O'Neals are directors of the United African Community Center, an organization dedicated to community development in northern Tanzania.  They have lived and worked in Tanzania for over 32 years doing community development.  Their organization has sponsored several educational programs in Tanzania.
Yunus and Hannah Wheatley Rafiki Aang Serian is a non-profit organization whose goal is the preservation of traditional cultures of the people of Tanzania.  Hannah is a former student of the Arusha Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Program, and Yunus has been a lecturer working with Maasai groups for several years.  Although Aang Serian is a fairly new organization, they have already worked with United Nations Development Program cataloging medicinal plants, and last year Yunus was invited to speak at a United Nations conference in New York regarding indigenous cultures.

Dr. Philip Giovannini Dr. Philip Giovannini went to Africa in 1997 as the Academic Director for the International Wildlife Biology and Conservation Training Program.  A large part of his work in Africa involves providing orientation and training for university students conducting wildlife and conservation studies in Tanzania, including collection of elephant DNA samples to prevent ivory poaching and GPS tracking of wildebeest and other ungulates in Ngorongoro Crater.
