Responsible travel

Sustainability & community impact

Kenya's wildlife and wild places are why we exist. We try to make every trip good for the people and places you visit.

What we do

  • Kenyan guides and team

    Our guides and planners are Kenyan, so the money you spend on guiding and planning stays in Kenya.

  • Kenyan-owned camps

    Where we can, we choose Kenyan-owned camps and lodges that employ and buy locally.

  • Community conservancies

    We favour stays in community conservancies, where tourism fees go to the landowners who protect the wildlife.

  • Small groups, respectful distances

    Vehicles reserved for your group, and guides who follow park rules on distance, noise and staying on tracks.

  • Less plastic

    Kenya has banned single-use plastic bags. We encourage refillable bottles and keep waste out of the parks.

  • Optional cultural visits

    Village and community visits are always optional. Ask us how a visit is arranged and where the fee goes before you decide.

How you can help

  • Bring a refillable water bottle and pack in reusable bags.
  • Ask before photographing people, and respect a no.
  • Never feed wildlife, and keep your voice low near animals.
  • Ask us for eco-conscious camps or a conservancy stay when you plan.
  • Buy crafts directly from makers, and tip guides and camp staff fairly.

Plan a lower-impact trip

Tell us it matters to you, and we'll suggest conservancy stays and camps that give back.
