Culture And Community
Travel That Gives Something Back
Safari should leave places better than it found them. Here is how we try to make that true, for the people, the culture and the wildlife.

Every park, conservancy and camp sits beside communities who have lived with wildlife for generations. When they thrive, wildlife thrives too. We plan every safari with that in mind.
We choose camps and partners that employ and train people from nearby communities.
We meet communities as guests: with permission, with curiosity, never as a photo stop.
We favour camps and conservancies that keep vehicle numbers low and animals wild.
A safari supports more than the camp you stay in. Here are the main ways it reaches the land and the people around it.
Entry and conservancy fees help fund rangers, anti-poaching work and land management.
Guides, trackers, chefs, drivers and housekeepers, many from the surrounding villages.
In conservancies, landowners are paid to keep their land open for wildlife.
Support for schools, clinics, water and craft cooperatives, depending on the camp and partner.
If you would like your safari to do a little more, ask us. These are the kinds of things we can arrange, depending on where you travel.
Meet the women who make beadwork and baskets and buy directly from them.
Sponsor supplies or a child’s place at a local school.
Spend a morning on a community project with local hosts.
Spend time with a community, by invitation and with respect.
