Kenya luxury bush camp safari holiday
How Kenya luxury bush camp safari holiday makes a difference
Environment
We are a conservation conscious company and this whole safari is drawn with regards to conserving the environment through maintaining designated road in the parks and using eco-friendly camps/lodges. While some of our guests specify the accommodation and transport they require, we are keen supporters of the eco-lodges concept. These lodges are owned by the local people and are usually to be found in areas outside protected areas but teeming with wildlife. We contribute towards the various environmental conservations by belonging to organisations such as the Ecotourism Society and Nature Kenya. We also actively take part in environmental awareness activities such as beach clean-ups and World Bird Watch.
James, our Naturalist has been working as a volunteer in conjunction with WWF EARPO in training of local forest scouts and guides in Shimba hills national reserve and Arabuko Sokoke Forest. One environmental friendly office practice we have adopted is ROC (Reduction of Costs). We encourage recycling of envelopes and printing paper to both keep our operating costs low and also save our forests from where we get paper. We also use detergents and other materials in the office that do not harm our environment.
It's also beneficial to local community as we highly recommend our clients to visit local community villages to experience first hand way of their living. Also lodges and camps used throughout the itinerary have almost more than 50% of their employees being locals. Part of park entry fees goes directly to the local communities through local governments.
Community
The major economic challenge facing our country today is unemployment. The youth are unfortunately hardest hit. We are a tour firm that gives equal opportunity to our youth especially to be able to earn a decent living. We encourage the career growth of the individual. Whenever possible, we always give priority to local people.
We encourage our guests to stay in lodges that have a commitment to uplifting the local people. Such lodges include; Serena Lodges, Wilderness Lodges, Sarova and Aberdare Safari Hotels. These lodges are well known for their contribution towards the development of the areas around which their properties are to be found.
We like to take our guests to such places as Ngomongo village and Bombolulu Workshop where physically challenged locals make and sell carvings and other crafts. We also take our guests to Akamba Handicraft centre where guests can see the entire carving process and purchase products. This goes a long way in raising the standards of living of the locals.
