A cooperative built on trust, since 2000
For twenty-five years, HIFADHI SACCOS LTD has been the financial home of Tanzania National Parks employees — member-owned, member-governed, and dedicated to shared prosperity.
25+
Years of service
From a shared idea to a trusted institution
HIFADHI SACCOS LTD was established on 2000 by a group of TANAPA employees who believed that pooling their savings could unlock affordable credit and lasting financial security for one another.
Registered as cooperative number AR.382, the society has grown from a small circle of founding members into a cooperative of over 5,200 members — while never losing sight of its founding principle: members come first.
Today HIFADHI operates from Arusha with a presence across the northern park circuit, offering savings, four loan products, financial education, and investment opportunities to every member.
