Responsible tourism

We run our safaris, tours and adventure trips in keeping with the following guidelines…

TIES (The International Ecotourism Society) defines ecotourism as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people.” This means that those who implement and participate in ecotourism activities should follow the following principles:

- Minimize impact
– Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect
– Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts
– Provide direct financial benefits for conservation
– Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people
– Raise sensitivity to host countries’ political, environmental, and social climate
– Support international human rights and labor agreements

Local Services
Where possible we use locally owned and run services and businesses:
– Staying in locally owned and run accommodation in preference to foreign owned hotel chains
– Buying our food and supplies from local markets and stores.
– Supporting local business’s and their income by using locally owned shops and restaurants - our guides are all African and know the areas they guide in as well as the areas and cultures in which you’ll travel.
