Our Eco Commitment
Travel Consciously. Leave a Positive Impact.

120+ students supported with school supplies & eco-education.
Funding for 2 community rangers in Tarangire corridor.

Our Guiding Principles
Sustainable Lodging
- Partner only with eco-certified lodges & camps using solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and waste recycling.
- Prioritize properties that employ local staff and source farm-to-table cuisine.
Low-Impact Safaris & Treks
- Small groups (max 6 per safari vehicle / 10 per Kilimanjaro trek).
- Fair wages and ethical treatment of porters & mountain crews (following Kilimanjaro Porter Assistance Project standards).
- “Leave No Trace” trekking — all waste carried down, refill stations for water bottles.
Community First
- At least 10% of profits support local projects (education, conservation, women’s empowerment).
- Partner directly with community-owned tourism initiatives.
- Encourage guests to engage in authentic cultural experiences that benefit locals directly.
Conservation Support
- Tree planting & habitat restoration in Kilimanjaro foothills and Tarangire corridors.
- Support anti-poaching efforts through donations & guest awareness.
- Collaboration with marine conservation groups in Zanzibar.
Plastic-Free Travel
- Provide guests with refillable water bottles.
- Work with lodges that ban single-use plastics.
- Partner with suppliers that package responsibly.
