OUR SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

​

We are continually endeavoring to improve, but this is how Sustain Safaris presently operates with sustainability in mind:

​

Conservation

​​

• Our donations support 2 conservation NGOs through the Sustain Conservation Fund.

• We support a multitude of public and private protected areas through our tourism revenue spend.

• We provide sightings and research data to institutions as a citizen science contribution.

• We book accommodation, where possible, with eco-friendly and green certified establishments who share our values.

​

Community

​​

• We book and support community guides.

• We support local employment and enterprise in the areas we visit.

• We always endeavor to showcase and respect authentic contemporary indigenous cultures.

• Our guests purchase community goods and services.

​

Solid Waste and Emissions

​​

• On tour, guests receive reusable tin bottles to refill with filtered drinking water in a container along our journey, to eliminate the use of single use plastics.

• We separate waste on tour between recyclables and non-recyclables in paper bags.

• Reduce carbon emissions by guiding parts of our tours on foot in many destinations when undertaking birding and biodiversity tours.

• All marketing is undertaken via electronic mediums to reduce printing of promotional materials.

• We recycle paper and plastic at office level and on tour where possible.

• We reduce and avoid printing unless necessarily.

 

Social Policy

​​

• We comply with local laws.

• We pay local taxes.

• We comply with business and guide registrations.

• We are Members of a Community Tourism Organization.
