Balance paid closer to travel
Tourism funds much of East Africa's conservation. Choosing where you stay decides where that money goes.
02
Low-impact camps
Look for solar power, water recycling, plastic-free operations and local employment.
03
On the ground
Keep a respectful distance, never feed wildlife, and ask before photographing people.
04
How conservancies help
Conservancy fees are paid to Maasai and other landowners who lease their land to wildlife, giving communities a direct income from conservation.
05
Choosing ethical camps
Look for solar power, plastic-free operations, local staffing and support for schools, clinics or anti-poaching units.
06
Cultural visits done right
Visit villages through community-run programmes, ask before photographing people, and buy crafts directly from makers.

What does the quoted price include?

How do I secure my safari?
A 50% deposit holds your camps and flights. The balance is due closer to departure, and we send reminders well ahead of the due date.
