Sustainable Tourism Policy
This extended journey magnifies our commitment to ethical and sustainable tourism across four nations:
- Inter-Country Conservation: By utilizing local ground operators in each country, we support a wide network of local conservation efforts, from primate protection in the Virunga Mountains to anti-poaching units in the Serengeti.
- Community Investment: We incorporate community activities like the Maasai village visit and local market tours, ensuring a direct financial stream to the people living alongside the wildlife.
- Environmental Footprint: The use of small charter planes, while more expensive, is often more sustainable than long, inefficient road transfers across borders. We offset the combined carbon footprint of all domestic and regional flights within the package.
- Cultural Respect: All guides receive extensive training on cultural sensitivity to ensure meaningful, respectful interactions with the numerous tribes and local communities encountered.
