Empower real conservation

Africa’s original conservation travel company

Together with our participants and projects, we’ve been at the heart of the conservation community in southern and eastern Africa since 1999. Over this time, we’ve played a vital role in many landmark achievements - from helping to develop the world’s largest rhino sanctuary to supporting a key reserve in WWF’s Black Rhino Range Expansion Programme. 

Our long-standing partnerships with these leading conservation projects are based on mutual respect. They trust us to find dedicated, passionate participants who contribute real value to their work. In return, these relationships give our participants exclusive access to groundbreaking conservation experiences.

Empower vital conservation work

As well as contributing your time and energy, you will also provide essential funding - giving projects the financial stability they need to continue protecting Africa’s wildlife and ecosystems.

Governments in Africa are often unable to provide sufficient funding to conservation projects. Which means vital work to protect biodiversity simply wouldn’t be possible without financial assistance from travellers like you.

From hydrophones to helicopters, this funding helps projects invest in vital new equipment and facilities to broaden their impact. It also creates new conservation jobs for local people, providing skilled employees for our projects and making conservation a viable career path in Africa. This funding has even enabled us to help set up many projects that you can visit today.

We are qualified zoologists and conservationists

As a conservation-first team, we hold degree-level qualifications in zoological and conservation sciences. We’re always up-to-date with the latest developments in research, political policy and ecological issues. We’ve even become a leading voice in the fight against lion farming and cub cuddling in southern Africa.

This deep understanding of conservation issues means we can expertly evaluate conservation projects and only partner with those that demonstrate the highest levels of conservation impact and animal welfare - usually thanks to an expert team of their own.

Our professional knowledge also means that when you talk to us, you can go beyond the basic travel chat and get into the scientific detail of what you’re looking for.
