Travel is a voyage of discovery – inwardly of ourselves, and outwardly when we mingle with new people, experience different cultures and journey through unexplored landscapes. Our considerable experience in Africa has meant we are very aware of the need to balance the excitement of this discovery with a sensitivity to the environment in which the discovery is being made.
We know that our guests want to immerse themselves in unique African experiences, but this needs to be in a manner that fosters a positive impact on the individuals, local communities, wildlife and the environment. This is responsible travel, and is at the heart of everything that we do.
It is common knowledge that Africa continues to face substantial challenges for its people and its wildlife – but the good news is that responsible travel has the potential to be a considerable force for change and improvement. Having lived and worked in many areas across Africa, we have seen first-hand the substantially positive impact tourism can have both in terms of conservation, and with regard to the communities of the people in these remote areas. Many projects that help sustain these areas just would not be possible without it.
So, what does it all mean?
