Tanzania wildlife holiday, Serengeti safari

Planet

The Ilboru Safari Lodge where we stay in Arusha are the lead sponsor of a nursery business producing seedlings of indigenous trees that have been widely cut down. So far they have built up a nursery of 4,500 seedlings and invested in infrastructure to support the project. The aim is to transplant these seedlings back into communal land with the support of the Ilboru elders. The project has been embraced by guests of Ilboru Safari Lodge who are invited to visit the nursery and help with planting as well as indirectly helping through the funding provided.

On this trip we operate a policy to minimise plastic use and are working with our suppliers to provide water coolers on buses and vehicles, plus in many of our chosen accommodations, to enable our customers to top up water using their own bottles as they go along.

As a travel company we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key, and so all staff, Tour Leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism. At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our plastic usage.
