This trip is tailor-made to the type of traveler that is already very eco-conscious. Safari guides have an ethos of being observers, not participants in their surroundings and we echo these sentiments on the safari that we go on – on this tour.
Diving is an ‘optional’ and each dive is led by a fully-qualified PADI Dive master’s who is from each specific area e.g. Mozambique. Our dive masters are therefore African born and bred with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the surrounding reefs, waters and coastlines. By utilizing only local divers, we create opportunity, growth and sustainability for the community. Our dive masters in Mozambique discourage any form of contact with manta rays or whale sharks on any dives even although the group get a “up close and personal” experience swimming amongst these amazing sea creatures – therefore making sure not to disrupt the lifestyle of these underwater creatures.
We use only local guides who can help guests to understand local customs, traditions and interact with local people to ensure at least a minimum level of local involvement in our holidays. We encourage the protection and the respect of local communities that we encounter on our trip. Regular and ongoing training on responsible tourism is given to all our staff!
All of the fees paid at places of interest go towards local economic development. Our tour includes a trip to places which charge a conservation fee and a large portion of all entrance fees is given to the local community. This helps to further conservation efforts in the respective areas. For instance - the entrance fee of Umfolozi Game Reserve goes towards the White Rhino Conservation program.
We endeavor to keep all our group sizes to a maximum number of 10. This way, our holidays do not intrude on local communities or the surrounding and protected areas of vegetations and scenery.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
