OUR SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

​

At Rare Mammal and Bird Tours we commit to living up to our name, to walking the talk, to genuinely applying sustainability practices into our business operations.

 

We care deeply for our planet’s natural resources and our people. Therefore, we are serious about operating both our tours and our office operations as sustainably as practically possible. We also invite all our guests and service providers to join us in our commitment, and to develop their own.

​

We are continually seeking to improve our operations and even to move beyond sustainability toward regenerative travel practices and developing circular economies where achievable. Currently our commitment includes the following:

​

OUR CONSERVATION FUND commits to support the following 4 conservation organizations:

​

• Zululand Conservation Trust

• BirdLife South Africa

• Endangered Wildlife Trust

• Wilderness Foundation Africa

​

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES apply to the following 4 themes:

​

• Conservation

• ​​Community​

• Solid Waste and Emissions

• ​Social Policy​

​

On our tours we trust our guests will experience these practices firsthand, and we invite our guests to provide us with feedback and recommendations in how we could improve upon these essential practices.

​

We only have one precious and finite earth. Together, let us commit to doing our part to make it the best place to live and tour as possible.
