The Value Of Sustainable Travel And Safaris Sustainable travel is now front and center in the world’s news and consciousness. We have always had these concerns, therefore each safari venue we endorse is an “experience economy”– it hosts travelers who pay a premium for the privilege of exploring pristine ecosystems and experiencing in a deeper way Africa’s precious flora and fauna. Your travel dollars create and fund jobs; one local employee supports an average of eight family members in an African community. Collectively, these safari camps protect and manage millions of acres of wildlands, and economically support hundreds of communities. Simply staying at our hand-picked safari camps means you have contributed greatly to the conservation of Africa.
