Our Sustainability Policy

To achieve our goals, we have implemented specific “How-To” protocols for saving water, conserving energy, and reducing plastic usage in our daily operations.

A. Water Conservation

In the Office:

• Leak Management: Implement a “See it, Report it” policy for leaking taps or pipes to ensure immediate repair.
• Efficient Cleaning: Use bucket systems for cleaning office floors rather than continuous running water.
• Responsible Draining:we ensure to use designated drainage systems within our office to maximise on recycling of wastewater.

On the Field (Safari):

• Bucket Washes: Safari vehicles are cleaned using water-efficient bucket methods; hose pipes are strictly prohibited in bush camps.
• Guest Briefings: Guides brief guests on the scarcity of water in arid regions, encouraging short showers and the reuse of linens and towels at lodges.
• Eco-Friendly Lodging: We prioritize booking camps that utilize greywater recycling systems for irrigation.

B. Energy Conservation

In the Office:

• Smart Lighting: Maximize natural light usage and transition 100% of office lighting to energy-efficient LEDs.
• Power-Down Protocol: Ensure all computers, printers, and non-essential electronics are fully unplugged or switched off at the wall at the end of every workday or when not in use.
• Equipment: Purchase only Energy Star-rated appliances for office use, and use of UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply Units) to save on energy.

On the Field (Safari):

• Solar Inverters: Safari vehicles are equipped with inverters to charge guest camera batteries while the engine is running, reducing the load on camp generators.
• Route Optimization: Guides are trained to plan game drives efficiently to minimize fuel consumption and emissions without compromising the wildlife experience.
• Passive Cooling: Vehicles are parked in the shade during stops to reduce the need for air conditioning (AC) usage.

C. Reduction of Plastic Use

In the Office:

• Single-Use Ban: A strict ban on plastic cups, stirrers, and single-use water bottles. Staff are provided with ceramic mugs and reusable bottles.
• Digital First: We prioritize digital marketing materials and itineraries to reduce the demand for plastic-laminated paper products.
• Supplier Audit: We actively negotiate with suppliers to reduce plastic packaging on office deliveries.

On the Field (Safari):

• Reusable Bottles: Every guest receives a high-quality, reusable metal water bottle upon arrival.
• Bulk Water Systems: Our safari vehicles are fitted with 20L bulk water dispensers for refilling bottles, eliminating the need for thousands of small plastic bottles annually.
• Waste Management (Pack it in, Pack it out): All waste generated during game drives (e.g., picnic wrappers) is kept in the vehicle and returned to urban centers for proper recycling; no trash is ever left in the wild or at camps with limited waste facilities.
