Tourism often benefits only the large hotel and airline companies, bypassing the local communities, with little investment or return to the area visited by the clients. However, this is now changing with the creation of Kenya's first real eco-friendly safari. We're creating a unique opportunity for our clients, using only camps and lodges that support the wildlife conservation projects and local tribes.
Many people think eco-friendly means eating granola and roughing it.
Either way, eco-friendly travel introduces you to local wildlife and culture, making little impact on the environment and creating a strong influence on the local communities. The properties are either directly owned by the local community or have been established on community tribal lands in direct negotiations with the villagers, generating an alternative income for the local villages. The facilities are also involved in wildlife conservation, often bordering national parks or areas with high wildlife density, allowing travelers the chance to easily spot game. Built with local materials by local craftsmen, each facility in the eco-safari is unique, offering a variety of atmospheres and styles, from permanent, tented camps to private homes hosted by owners who have lived in Kenya for generations. Freshly prepared meals energize the traveler for the next game walk or game drive, while the friendly and knowledgeable staff educate their guests about the local customs, wildlife and peoples during the various activities.
