The properties chosen hire local staff and have the very best guides whilst being dedicated to sustainability and responsible tourism. Kwandwe Game Reserve, for example is reclaimed farmland which now houses thousands of animals including lion, black and white rhino, buffalo, elephant and cheetah. The meaning of Kwandwe in Xhosa is “Place of the Blue Crane”, and the reserve is the proud home to a population of these rare, highly endangered birds (South Africa’s National Bird).

The Reserve is also sanctuary to other threatened species including the Knysna woodpecker, Cape grysbok, black wildebeest, crowned eagle and black-footed cat.

People

Whilst we are always trying to ensure our guests experience the best properties and destinations possible, our ethos about responsible travel is extremely important to us.

We have selected the properties on this itinerary with sustainable and responsible tourism in mind. In Cape Town you will enjoy the region's food and wine whilst supporting local suppliers and traders. The hotels also make a huge effort to train and employ local staff. In the Kruger we work with selected camps and lodges who make a concerted effort to recruit their staff from within the local community, providing jobs and sharing the benefits of tourism.

As a company we are founded in the roots of providing responsible and sustainable vacations. This means we seek to partner with local suppliers who provide fair wages, to use accommodation where community and environment are considered and.. in short.. to look at every opportunity for making our vacations as fair to local people and places as possible.
