RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

Responsible Travel with Msangai

Choosing Africa Safari Trips means traveling with purpose. Your journey helps support both the people and the environment of Africa. Our goal is to minimize our ecological impact while maximizing positive contributions to local communities. Here’s how we practice responsible tourism:

It All Starts with Valued Local Staff

Our team is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we carefully select individuals who bring passion, expertise, and strong interpersonal skills. Around 90% of our staff members are locals who truly understand the land and culture. We believe in fair compensation and provide above-average wages to foster long-term, meaningful employment.

Promoting Eco-Friendly Adventures

Nature is Africa’s greatest treasure, and we’re committed to preserving it. We encourage guests to take part in low-impact activities like hiking, cycling, and canoeing. These not only help reduce environmental impact but also promote wellness and authentic exploration.

Supporting Sustainable Lodging

Our partner accommodations are chosen for their commitment to sustainability and community support. About 75% of the lodges we work with operate using solar power. These establishments not only reduce their environmental footprint but also contribute to the development of local economies and protection of wildlife.

Investing in Future Generations

We believe in empowering young talent. Through internship programs, we provide students with valuable opportunities to learn about the travel industry and gain hands-on experience. It’s our way of investing in Africa’s future.

Working Toward Global Certification

We are actively pursuing the Travelife certification for sustainable tourism by meeting all 158 criteria. This international standard will help us further our mission to be a leader in responsible travel across Africa.
