Funds Raised by I Artist Adventure: About $10,000 Updated 11 February 2025 This year’s Serengeti Girls Run took place between 27 October and 1 November 2024. Over three exhilarating days, a group of 11 determined women from around the world ran a total of 63 km (39 mi) across the Serengeti National Park—all in the name of empowering Tanzanian women. At I Artist Adventure, we take pride in supporting meaningful initiatives that align with our mission of fostering conservation, community development, and responsible tourism. The Serengeti Girls Run, hosted by the Grumeti Fund in collaboration with Singita, is one such initiative that truly embodies the spirit of giving back. Each runner commits to raising at least $8,500, with all funds supporting the Grumeti Fund’s women’s empowerment programs. These funds go directly toward scholarships, vocational training, and conservation education, equipping young women with the tools to build a better future. We are thrilled to share that I Artist Adventure has helped raise nearly $10,000 for this year’s run, with a few additional contributions still coming in!

Running Among the Wildlife: A Unique Safari Experience

There’s something magical about exploring the Serengeti on foot. Imagine running alongside herds of wildebeest and zebras, feeling the rhythm of nature beneath your feet, and hearing the raw, untamed sounds of the bush—the deep grunts of wildebeest, the soft neighing of zebras, and the eerie calls of hyenas trailing in the distance. This is a perspective of the Serengeti few get to experience, making the Serengeti Girls Run a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure. While preparing for the run was no easy feat—our very own team member battled an injury and a bout of illness before the event—the experience of crossing the Serengeti on foot, driven by a cause bigger than ourselves, made it all worthwhile. The support from the local communities and conservation teams was incredible, reinforcing the importance of sustainable tourism and community-driven initiatives.

Giving Back to the Community

At I Artist Adventure, we believe in more than just offering unforgettable safari experiences—we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of the people who call Tanzania home. Through the Grumeti Fund’s programs, the funds raised from the Serengeti Girls Run provide crucial support for local women pursuing education, careers in conservation, and opportunities in Tanzania’s growing tourism sector. One of the most rewarding aspects of this year’s run was meeting some of the scholarship recipients whose lives have been transformed by these programs. Hearing their stories of resilience and ambition reminded us why we do what we do—creating journeys that not only showcase Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes and wildlife but also uplift its communities.
