Uhifadhi
Uhifadhi means conservation.
Sustainable travel
Your trip should pay the people who protect wildlife, keep land open and welcome you by name.
Six commitments on every trip
- Small groupsFewer people, lighter footprint, deeper conversations.
- Locally ownedLodges, guides, drivers and meals from businesses owned in the communities we visit.
- Pack mindfullyReusable bottles, bar soap, mineral sunscreen and solar chargers. Less plastic in, less waste left.
- Conservation over convenienceConservancies and community-run reserves, not crowded viewing lines.
- Cultural preparationEvery traveler gets a briefing on language, etiquette and photography before they land.
- Offset what you flyA New York to Nairobi round trip is roughly four tons of carbon per seat. We'll show you vetted reforestation and clean-energy projects to offset it.
Tourism income is conservation income.
Conservancy fees, park tickets and community visits fund rangers, predator-proof bomas and schools. When a lion is worth more alive than dead, the lion lives.
