Botswana luxury honeymoon safari

Planet

We are committed to responsible values, which are echoed in all elements of our tours and holidays. We work with accommodation providers and local suppliers who share this dedication to responsible travel by focusing on environmental, conservation and community initiatives.

For example, this Botswana Honeymoon Safari holiday features eco-friendly accommodation, such as Hyena Pan Camp, which runs on solar power (other than the showers, which are run on gas). Meanwhile, Camp Kalahari is owned by the Natural Selection group, which supports the Makgadikgadi-Nxai Pans Conservation Initiative. This project aims to improve conditions for mammal migration in the region, using sustainable economic incentives for wildlife-friendly land.

You will visit several national parks and reserves on this itinerary. In our detailed pre-departure travel pack we have included a note to remind you not leave any litter in the national parks and reserves – everything you carry in, you must carry out. Aside from the environmental damage, litter can be harmful to the wildlife.

People

During your time in Botswana we encourage you to support the local economy by buying authentic handmade products such as cotton fabrics, wood carvings, pottery and silver jewellery at markets, villages and small-scale souvenir shops, rather than hotel tourist shops or on organised shopping trips. When you buy products at markets, villages and small-scale souvenir shops you are helping to support a fragile economy and supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive.

We also select accommodations which have their own community projects or initiatives, such as Kwara Camp. This camp is part of Kwando Safaris, a 100% citizen-owned and operated company, providing opportunities and careers for the passionate people of Botswana.

We encourage you to support the Pack for a Purpose initiative and use a small amount of space in your luggage to pack supplies for local community projects in Botswana. You can leave your donations with our partner hotels and lodges who will pass them on to the school, medical centre or animal welfare project.
