Responsible tourism
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we screen every trip so you can travel knowing your holiday will help support conservation and local people.

Wildlife Promise:
By bringing people here with a professional zoologist as well as professional local guides we aim to showcase the environment in full but also to allow you to learn about the problems facing the ecosystems here and highlight the ways that continued development and human exploitation are affect the species and how cutting edge research is countering the problems as well as showing you examples of success stories. We also keep a record of all the great sightings we see on each tour and record the environmental factors, this data is used by ourselves but also given to the researchers who are working on many of these species. By visiting the habituated troop of baboons in the southern Rift Valley you will be contributing directly to the conservation of baboons and other wildlife in the local area through the good work of Joel Njonjo. All the information collected in invaluable as the knowledge of some of the animals that live here are little understood. We also donate our pictures to the researchers to aid in their photo identification studies.
The Impacts of this Trip
As with any of our tours of Africa or elsewhere in the world we always employ local guides and drivers. They have a much better local knowledge and also helps to bring in revenue sources to the local community. All of the accommodations that we stay in make sure that all our resources such as food, drink and equipment is locally sourced and we are always looking for ways to introduce local people into a guiding career. Eastern Africa has been running safaris for longer than anywhere else and the many local communities now depend on this industry. This particular tour visits a couple of community conservancies (the Shompole and Oliramatian communities) and all of the activities as well as the accommodation we stay in when we are in this region are run by and for the local communities. We employ Joel Njonjo who is a local Maasai, to take our guests to see the baboons that he has habituated. We also encourage the purchasing of local handicrafts which are all created in a sustainable way and provide great unique souvenirs.
