Positive Impact Safaris

Safari Enquiry

Our Community Get Involved Tours and sustainable safari holidays are unique travel concepts that go beyond traditional community engagement and wildlife safaris. It encourages travellers to actively participate in various activities, such as scientific research, school construction, or accompanying rangers on poaching walks.

The focus is on meaningful contributions and immersive experiences rather than passive observation or financial donations. Our goal is to promote a sense of purposeful travel, where you can make a positive impact by sharing knowledge, building schools, supporting women’s development programmes, or learning from local communities during your sustainable African safari.

While enjoying the incredible wildlife and natural beauty of the African wilderness, you can also get down in the dirt, building a health clinic for villagers or installing solar equipment. At the end of the day, swapping stories over dinner makes a lasting impact on both travellers and locals.

When visitors and communities work side by side on projects that improve daily life, they learn from each other in ways that benefit everyone.

From experiencing what ranger life is like in Botswana and rhino tracking in Namibia to participating in community development projects in Cape Town, there are a range of different sustainable safari tours for you to explore.
