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.

At the foot of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, this rolled black tea is grown on volcanic soil. The fertile slopes around Kilimanjaro are considered to offer excellent conditions for tea cultivation. Kilimanjaro black tea is amber in colour and has a pleasantly light flavour profile, making it an excellent breakfast tea.

JIKONI means ‘kitchen’ in Kiswahili. That is why this T-shirt features lots of small drawings of kitchen utensils and food items from everyday school life in Kenya. The drawings were created in 2021 at a school in Kangundo during home economics lessons and were produced by many different pupils.
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 the animals of the Serengeti were being discussed. This motif is a permanent feature of our collection, even though the design of the breast pocket changes from time to time.
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 were created from 2009 onwards at various schools in Tanzania and Kenya and thus represent a small ‘best of’ selection of our motifs.
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.
