How this holiday makes a difference

Environment

At Hluhluwe, Hilltop Camp rates as one of the most environmentally and culturally aware accommodations you can find. They are very involved in conservation and have brought the white rhino back from the brink of extinction here. Add to that the recycling, waste prevention schemes and so on, and this really is a place that takes responsibility for the environment, wildlife and community seriously.

Mkhaya Game Reserve: Mkhaya is Swaziland's Refuge for Endangered Species. It is staffed and patrolled entirely by Swazis from neighbouring communities and currently boasts what is arguably Africa's most effective anti-poaching unit. Mkhaya is totally self financing through visitor revenues.

The tour operator is a multi-award winning responsible travel company, and for each person travelling with them they plant 10 indigenous trees in a degraded area of northern Tanzania.

Community

Hilltop Camp is government-owned but they run a Community Trust fund for the local community, and 98% of the staff are local.

At Thonga Beach Lodge the local community are involved as shareholders in the development company (in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund and the Wildlands Trust). The company is heavily involved with conservation, community and ecotourism projects in the areas they work.

Tembe Elephant Park is a community-owned camp, and provides work and income for an otherwise fairly remote community. Built on Tembe Community land, in north Maputaland, there is a training programme to help local people gain work here. The community is hopeful that tourism here will increase to bring them a chance of more income.
