Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your vacation will help support conservation and local people.

On safari we works with selected safari camps and lodges who are committed to local conservation efforts. With our accommodation selections you will find that your safari camp is dedicated to responsiblity and sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our UK office takes a leading role in setting the standards for an environmentally friendly work environment. We work with local government to recycle our waste and continually look for new ways to be greener.
The Impacts of this Trip
The safari accommodations we promote all have a strong focus on recruiting staff form within their local communities: many aim for at least 75% of their staff coming from their immediate local community. This provides jobs and skills and is one of the most direct ways of positively affecting community development.
Our accommodation choices make use of locally owned properties where possible and often include adventurous, authentic choices such as local homestays which therefore involve local people and their communities in the very fabric of our vacations.
Vacations are locally-guided by knowledgeable locals who possess a wealth of information on the local environment and culture.
We encourage all our travelers to research local customs and read your trip notes before you depart to ensure you are conscientious and respectful in a different culture.
In most cases we strongly recommend that you do not give money to children beggars. If begging is a successful enterprise, parents are encouraged to forsake their children’s education in pursuit of this opportunity.
Talk to us about packing for a purpose and see if you can get involved by making a small material contribution to the communities you are visiting. We have developed partnerships with charities and accommodations throughout Kenya and are constantly working to extend our reach with the help of our travelers.

1 Reviews of Tailor made safari, gorillas, Masai Mara & Zanzibar
Reviewed on 12 Jun 2018 by Camila Wills
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Safari in Tanzania and hot air balloon.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Ensure lodges do and local partners do have sustainable practices in place before you go (employee wages, waste management, etc)
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Partially. Some lodges were more aware than others of use of plastic, water conservation, etc. Our Tanzania operator was much more sophisticated in its environmental practices than our Uganda experience, where it was close to null. In Uganda, neither the lodge nor the travel partner had any kind of social or environmental policy or practice.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
The first impression was quite low. The second leg of the trip improved considerably.
