| PARTNERS IN CONSERVATION |
| Fighting Together for Better Conservation Efforts We are dedicated to low-impact tourism, which means observing, enjoying and helping – but never harming – the land and the environment that we are lucky enough to explore. Going on a photo safari is all about having an adventure and enjoying the sheer beauty of the natural world. But in order to enjoy the experience to its fullest extent, it is crucial that we travel thoughtfully, conscious at all times of the delicate environment that we find ourselves in which provides us with so much enjoyment. |
||||
| More than just Photography You are likely to be the sort of person who already cares about nature and the planet, who understands its beauty and importance, and who knows about the significance of conservation if we are to carry on enjoying the natural world as it should be enjoyed. The aim of our photo tours is to provide you with an enjoyable trip that will allow you to take great photographs. But more than this they are about providing you with a better understanding of Africa, and to inspire you to share this knowledge with others. |
||||
| Committed to the Cause In order to maximise your enjoyment of the photo safari and to enjoy the adventure in a sustainable way, we are committed to responsible tourism. One way that we ensure this is through working with a number of eco-tourism companies and organisations operating in Africa. When you go on a photo safari with us, you will benefit from staying in dedicated eco-lodges because we only work with other groups and organisations who promote tourism practices that are not harmful in any way. It is fundamental to our company that we forge partnerships with these other similar companies who share the same beliefs so that we can all benefit together. |
||||
| Our Partners One of our central aims is to leave the landscape exactly as we find it, enjoying the wonders that it provides but taking nothing away from it. And in our aim to promote responsible practices, we have formed bonds with a number of charities and organisations who share in our ideals. Our joint aim is to work with each other, to support each other, to preserve the natural environment and to fight against harmful and detrimental practices wherever they are found. |
