2026 Southern Africa & Beyond

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES INCLUDE: Reducing our environmental footprint while enhancing each guest’s experience is at the heart of what we do.

Solar Energy Our partner lodges are primarily powered by solar energy, including solar water heaters, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Water Conservation Guests are encouraged to use water responsibly, with gentle reminders placed in rooms and shared spaces to promote awareness and conservation. Waste Management We are dedicated to minimizing plastic usage and ensuring that organic waste is composted to support a circular, waste-free approach. Community Engagement & Support Our relationships with local communities form the foundation of our operations. Employment & Training Over 80% of staff members at our partners’ properties come from nearby villages. Ongoing training programs provide valuable skills development and pathways for professional growth. Cultural Preservation We proudly collaborate with local women’s groups to support traditional beadwork and handicrafts, which are featured in camp and lodge gift shops, helping preserve cultural heritage and create sustainable income opportunities. Wildlife Conservation & Contributions Our partners work closely with key conservation organizations to safeguard the region’s wildlife and habitats. Community Scouts & Anti-Poaching We support community wildlife scouts who monitor animal movements, report poaching incidents, and help protect endangered species. Conservation Levy A portion of every guest’s stay contributes to a local wildlife fund dedicated to habitat preservation, rangeland regeneration, and species protection. Responsible Travel for a Better Tomorrow Our partners’ close connection to their communities and ecosystems enables us to actively support long-term conservation efforts while offering travelers authentic, responsible, and enriching experiences.

Together, we are building a more sustainable future for both people and planet.
