Sustainable Travel

As part of our commitment to our guests, we are continually exploring new safari lodges and partners throughout Southern and Eastern Africa. We make it a priority to experience select properties in the field ourselves, alongside insights from trusted industry partners, to ensure they align with our standards in guiding, hospitality, conservation, and overall guest experience before we recommend them.

This marks the beginning of our “Behind the Safari: Lodge Review Series,” where we share first-hand impressions from the lodges we are considering for our carefully curated portfolio of trusted safari partners.

Our first review takes us into the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, where we recently visited RockFig Safari Lodge.

Responsible and sustainable ecotourism is an increasingly important part of wildlife conservation. As the global population continues to grow, so does our impact on wildlife and their habitats. Responsible tourism provides a way for travelers to explore and appreciate nature without causing any lasting harm or damage. By being conscious of how we travel and interact with wildlife, you can help conserve species and ecosystems in our world’s fragile natural areas when going on a Safari.

In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of sustainable ecotourism for wildlife conservation and provide some tips on how you can be more mindful when visiting Africa's wilderness areas.
