Our main priority is taking care of the environment through out the safaris, most of the suppliers also help in clean disposal and recycling such as disposal of spent ‘grey water’ via a specially-designed Tanapa-approved drainage system in which underground aggregates filter the water before it enters the ground water. Anaerobic bacteria in septic tanks break down solids. As glass, tins and plastics are sorted and returned to Arusha for recycling with the weekly delivery.

The fee collected from the parks are not necessary given back to the community but are used to improve their living standards such as building health centers, schools, and better infrastructures for the surrounding communities. Besides this, the fee is also used to ensure the wildlife in the parks and around the park is well taken care of especially in cases of illness, drought or floods.

Clients are briefed before proceeding with their safari on what to expect, dos and don’ts while at the safari. Which include; ensuring they do not litter the parks or their way to and from the parks as they are provided with trash bins, they should also not feed the animals at the parks or make noise while at safari.

All our tour vehicles have trash cans for proper disposal of waste to avoid disposal of non-degradable that may harm the wildlife. We discourage smoking and loud noise that may cause disturbances to the wildlife.

We encourage our travellers to travel in smaller groups during their trips to various destinations. Handling bigger groups is not easy and they cause stress to the environment

All our driver guides are required to keep by the trails so as to avoid distraction and interferences with the wildlife. Our guides are also discouraged from taking bribes to go off the road for good photos and better views, we encourage clients to let the animals come to them without destroying their habitats. Everyone should keep in mind that the wild animals are not like those found in the theme parks, they are not tamed, hence should take extra precautions not to offend them. We ask our clients never buy products made from endangered species.

People

Revenue collected from visitors in the parks and accommodation in all properties in this special tour, allows for recruitment of staff, good infrastructure and multiple management operations. It also protects habitats and species indirectly in the instances where the welfare of local communities is improved, thereby counteracting incentives to pursue the economic choices that are ecologically destructive.

Funds accrued from these campsites/properties have largely been utilized to support funding community initiated projects mostly related to education, health and water facilities.

The lodges do provide a local market for the communities around such as the Maasai livestock products. They buy meat and milk from the Masai to feed the staff and tourists as they are of high standards and organic. Besides this, tourism to these parks has empowered the women and men around by providing employment and building even long lasting relationships.

The sole purpose is to bring people from different cultures together, through village visits.The local village visits are included in itineraries so as to promote the communities visited both economically and socially.

We also create itineraries that allow clients to experience the local culture through food, festivals, activities and cultural sites.

In activities such as village visits, our driver guides always accompany the clients and act as their voices with the locals. The local cultures and way of life are very beautiful but without a local guide, one may not get the chance to witness the beauty.

Most suppliers source their products from the locals this helps to improve the living standards of the locals by engaging them in agricultural activities such as organic farming. This can be done with the use of manure from the Masai cattle.

Providing new sources of income through buying of local souvenirs from the cultural communities and also employing locals to be our driver guides since they are the most knowledgeable about the destinations’ culture and other company staff. This ensures easy understanding between the clients and the local communities visited during the tour.
