Conservation Tours

Africa has her share of amazing luxury lodges and incomparable wildlife experiences but the continent is the world’s poorest and her people and ecosystems are beset by all manner of hardships and challenges. Seldom do we have an opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of people in need; reduce your eco-footprint, help uplift a local community or take part in a wildlife conservation programme – our range of responsible travel tours will make a difference to all those involved.

Ever wondered what effect your African safari or holiday is having on the local environment you’re visiting? Happily, there’s a new approach to African travel: Operators, lodges, and wildlife authorities all over the continent are actively promoting responsible, sustainable, eco-friendly travel to Africa, working not only to conserve the natural environment but also to give back to local communities.

Communities across Africa have been considerably uplifted by such initiatives: employment is generated by training disadvantaged community members to become guides, support staff, or chefs; life skills like computer literacy, and small and micro enterprises are provided; and in many cases, communities such as the Kenyan & Tanzanian Maasai are now genuinely involved in the management of their traditional lands that have been set aside for tourism.

Other responsible travel role players support wildlife & birdlife, and cultural & historical conservation initiatives by funding animal rehabilitation centers, promoting awareness about rare fauna and flora, and encouraging sustainable environmental programs. We carefully look out for lodges that are eco-friendly and recycle their waste, grow organic vegetables and use solar power or try an African eco-holiday that puts you at the heart of the community and its development projects.

Where to go

It’s easy to get carried away by the magic of Africa but why not ensure your African holiday or safari has a purpose and makes a meaningful contribution to the continent? And what destinations! Top destinations are Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zanzibar.

Despite the wild and remote nature of many of our Eco safari and beach destinations, there are no great logistical challenges. Africa’s private Game reserves have all along been famous destinations with off-the-beaten-track Eco safari destinations that feature luxurious, tucked-away Eco lodges and Hemingway-style tented camps that combine complete privacy with stylish exclusivity for the Eco traveler.

In locations where travelers like to have the choice of what they want to do, Eco activities and excursions have been left as optional.
