1% for Africa WORKING TO ENSURE WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS THRIVE IN MODERN AFRICA

Craft a partnership between Africa’s leading conservation organization and its premier safari outfi tter, and you get exclusive and authentic travel opportunities that produce positive impacts on Africa’s wildlife, its wild lands and communities.

Together we have constructed a multi-faceted approach that ensures conservation and travel strategies work for both Africa’s wildlife and the people.

AWF was founded in 1961 by far-sighted individuals who recognized that conservation in Africa would only succeed if it was led by Africans. For nearly 60 years AWF has focused exclusively on Africa, protected endangered species and critical habitat, supported conservation enterprises and African communities, and equipped hundreds of African nationals to be an articulate and passionate voice for conservation.

Bushtracks Expeditions was founded by the Tett family in 1989; their African heritage goes back six generations. For over 30 years they have focused on building Africa’s premier safari outfi tter, and developing a solid reputation for authentic safari experiences.

When you travel on a Bushtracks-AWF safari, it’s planned by people who are closely connected to the continent’s wildlife and wild lands, it’s safari camps and guides, and AWF’s conservation and community projects.

You’ll explore wild places we know intimately - natural habitats with safari lodges set in the best wildlife locations, and true to African traditions and sustainable practices.

You’ll meet Africans who have a passion for wildlife, a dedication to conservation, and a devotion to sharing Africa’s magic.

And 1% of your safari cost will go to AWF, to help ensure wildlife and wild lands thrive in modern Africa. 4 AFRICAN SAFARIS | AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATION & BUSHTRACKS Table of Contents
