TORTOISE Children’s T-shirt, Dark Green
TORTOISE Children’s T-shirt, Dark Green
100% organically grown cotton from Tanzania
Made and printed in Kenya
This little tortoise was drawn in 2016 at a small school in Arusha, Tanzania, by a pupil following a school trip to Meserani Snake Park. We can only guess exactly what sort of tortoise it is. Judging by the shell pattern in the drawing, it could be a panther tortoise, as this species is named after its panther- or leopard-like shell pattern.

The Serengeti is renowned for its diverse wildlife. Particularly in the early morning hours during the dry season, many different inhabitants of the savannah make their way to the waterhole and stand shoulder to shoulder, just like on our SERENGETI T-shirt. The designs have been created since 2009 at various schools in Tanzania and Kenya and thus represent a small ‘best of’ selection of our motifs.
A T-shirt design that literally stands head and shoulders above the rest. This is our TWIGA giraffe – Tanzania’s national animal. Our little Twiga was created in 2014 at a school in Arusha, Tanzania, and is as unique as every spot on a giraffe’s coat. The design came about whilst the animals of the Serengeti were being discussed in a natural history lesson. The beautiful ochre shade of the print harmonises beautifully with the Marsala T-shirt, which is reminiscent of the Tanzanian savannah.
The little monkey NYANI jumps out of a fabric pouch made from traditional Kitenge fabric, which contrasts sharply with the T-shirt. The NYANI motif was first created back in 2014 during a natural history lesson at a school in Tanzania, whilst discussing the animals of the Serengeti. This motif is an integral part of our collection, even though the design of the breast pocket changes from time to time.
A true classic amongst our designs is our ELEPANT – let us correct that: ELEPHANT. The spelling mistake that crept into this lovely design from 2011 was carried over directly onto the T-shirt and remains one of our most popular designs to this day. Thanks to this design (alongside others), school fees have been paid, a new kitchen block has been built and a computer room has been set up in Arusha, Tanzania, over the last few years.
