Seeing the animals in their natural habitat, and being able to see the diversity of South Africa. Read full review

Nature did not disappoint, every day & night we saw the most amazing sights and many days we saw more animals than people. The variety and contrast as well as the history and cultures we travelled through brought alive by our incredibly knowledgeable guide Andrew. Each location was a different delight staying in everything from bee huts to hippo chalets as well as the amazing Tshukudu Game Reserve, a place we were sorry to leave and will most definitely return to.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet

This tour makes us of local tour leaders who are experts in their own country. Time spent with them allows us a unique insight into local culture. The entry fees we pay to the various game parks, wildlife sanctuaries and water reserves we visit on this tour contribute to the long-term preservation of the wildlife and their environment.

Kruger National Park is very focused on conservation of wild animals, and so they have restrictions and rules set to ensure visitors minimise their impact. We travel in 4x4 land cruisers, with 8 people per vehicle to minimise our impact. In Tshukudu we visit a lion breeding and conservation project in the park which contributes income to the valuable work being undertaken by the project.

In addition to the above, we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key and so all staff, Tour Leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism. At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our plastic usage. As well as this, we have valuable and longstanding partnerships with UK charities Toilet Twinning and Send a Cow, plus many smaller initiatives and projects around the world. We’re members of UK travel industry bodies Tourism Concern and AITO because we believe it’s important to share our knowledge and experience, as well as learn from other operators.

As a company we support Cool Earth. Protecting rainforest is one of the most effective actions to tackle climate breakdown. CoolEarth work with indigenous communities empowering them to conserve their forest; keeping CO2 locked in.

People

We stay in great places within the reserves so that the money can go back into the parks, to aid the local community and the animals. Our Tour Leaders are all trained by us in the importance of responsible tourism with guidance given on how they can make a difference. This then percolates down through those they deal with.
