The College of African Wildlife Management (CAWM),[1] commonly known as Mweka College or just Mweka, is located near the village of that name on the southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, above the city of Moshi, about 14 kilometres north of its centre.
Initial funding for Mweka was provided by the African Wildlife Leadership Foundation (now known as the African Wildlife Foundation), the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Frankfurt Zoological Society, with facilities donated by the government of Tanganyika.
The college became more accessible when it reduced its tuition fee to less than 4 million tanzanian shillings in the late 2010s.
However, the college still opens its doors to all students with an interest in African wildlife management.
Some alumni students also came from Western and Eastern Europe, and countries such as the United States, India, Sri Lanka, and Japan among many others.
