The Cullman & Hurt Community Wildlife Project
was established in 1990 by Robin Hurt and Joseph
F. Cullman III. The basic aim is to encourage
local communities to help conserve and protect
wildlife and its habitat through incentive schemes.
For a hunting safari operator, intact ecosystems
and healthy wildlife populations are its long-term
objective. Human poverty, which leads to the poaching
wildlife and habitat destruction, is the single
greatest threat to that goal.

The Cullman & Hurt Project currently
partners with 33 villages which span 8 Districts and
7 Regions throughout Tanzania. These villages are all
inside or adjacent to hunting blocks assigned to Robin
Hurt Safaris (Tanzania), Ltd. Cullman & Hurt also
assists the Government of Tanzania’s Wildlife
Department with anti-poaching patrols and other conservation
related activities.
In the course of its history, this
project has generated over US $1 Million in Village
Benefits through the sustainable utilization of wildlife.
Booking a Robin Hurt Safari is more
than an adventure of a life time—it contributes
to the future survival of wildlife in Africa!
