You choose low-impact travel

You choose low-impact travel. You want your children to live their African Dream too. Carbon Conscious Travel and respect for wildlife are standard!

You Believe

We are not the owners of our planet; we are its keepers. Our belief is that we are responsible for making sure that our children, yes, our grandchildren ten times removed can live their African Dream and can experience what we see today.

We have an obligation to not just take care, but to restore our planet – both for us and for future generations. With true commitment and not just words. You, like us, want to walk the talk!

How? You travel with us through the most beautiful nature you can find anywhere in the world.

We treat this nature with the greatest care. Wherever possible, we use reserves, accommodation and providers that work to minimise their greenhouse gas emissions.

Think solar power, sourcing food locally (so less transport needed), recycling etc.

Carbon Conscious Travel

We work to reduce the climate impact of your trip wherever we can, through itinerary design that limits unnecessary travel distances and by choosing accommodation and transport partners with lower-impact practices. Travel still produces emissions we cannot eliminate entirely. Rather than claim these are cancelled out, we contribute to one of Credible Carbon’s local projects. This contribution does not offset or negate the emissions generated by your trip, it is a separate contribution towards climate action. You can find more about Credible Carbon’s projects here,

How do we calculate your contribution?

We use the carbon offset travel calculator of Sustainable Travel International. We use a free calculator so you can fill it out yourself and check whether our calculations are correct. However, because you’ll travel in an environment with often older facilities, we multiply the outcome by 1.5 to compensate for that.

You choose low-impact travel: Respect for wildlife

Because both us and you believe in Ecotourism, we do not visit game farms of places where there is any physical animal interaction – so, no elephant riding and absolutely no lion or cheetah petting.

These places raise animals for ‘canned hunting’ – there are no records in Southern Africa of any great cat being rehabilitated to live in the wild.

To cement our commitment, we signed the Blood Lions Pledge.

Because nothing can beat meeting the animals in the wild, on their terms!
