Albert Hartog, (Tim’s uncle), longtime investor in Africa and passionate conservationist, decided to set up ‘The Timbo Afrika Foundation’ in commemoration of his nephew Tim. The goals of the Foundation are to support and establish wildlife and wilderness conservation and regeneration projects throughout Africa.  Where ever possible, we intend to support young leaders to establish mutually viable futures within the wildlife economy.

The long-term vision and dream is to create large game corridors, and the first one will be The Central Tuli Game Reserve, which lies within a 70 000 hectare protected area in eastern Botswana. The corridors would allow the safe free movement of game species over a larger area, benefiting the biodiversity, ecology and viability of the region as a whole.

Furthermore, it is Timbo’s goal to re-introduce critically endangered or locally extinct species such as white & black rhino back into the Tuli region.

Everything we do is in close partnership with the local communities to support loocal based eco tourism.  As part of this collaboration with local stakeholders, we have created employment and training opportunities at Koro River and Island Camps in the Tuli. We strongly believe in this crucial investment in our future leaders, to encourage active and committed stewardship of game reserves and conservation.

To establish conservation and research opportunities in order to benefit the long term management and protection of wildlife and game reserves.
