We recognize the importance of conservation and are committed to doing our part to protect the environment. We proudly partner and support brands and programmes that promote conservation, biodiversity and sustainable practices. As travel specialists, we believe in using our resources to promote responsible and sustainable travel. We strive to minimize our environmental impact and are passionate about creating meaningful travel experiences that leave a positive and lasting impact on our planet. By supporting conservation efforts, we can ensure a healthier and more vibrant future for generations to come.
When it comes to giving back, our two main focus areas are the place in which we currently live and the place we spend the most time travelling to. It is our goal to help create meaningful change in both locations through the facilitating and giving of generous donations. We are committed to donating 10% of our total income to the below organisations who are leaving a positive mark on our world.
Aotearoa
Trees That Count
Aotearoa - New Zealand is our home and we choose to keep it protected. One of the biggest impacts travel has on our environment is through carbon emissions. By supporting native tree planting we’re playing an important role in reducing net CO2 emissions, strengthening New Zealand’s biodiversity and helping communities thrive – and we reckon that’s a story worth sharing.
​
We’re working with Trees That Count to mitigate our carbon footprint over the next 50 years by donating to plant more native trees and to help protect New Zealand’s threatened biodiversity. That’s good for our carbon footprint, and good for Aotearoa.
More than 4,000 New Zealand native plants and animals are threatened or at risk of extinction and in need of our protection. By supporting native tree planting, we are creating more habitats for our threatened wildlife and helping build ecosystems that are more resilient to threats and diseases.

Africa
Singita Lowveld Trust
The Lowveld, in South Africa, is an area that sits close to our hearts. That is why we are proud to support the Singita Lowveld Trust. Established in 2006, the trust works to conserve the biodiversity and sustainability of the Lowveld region,
and to empower the communities living there.
By supporting the Singita Lowveld Trust, we are helping to protect the Lowveld's natural resources and to improve
the life of the people living in the area. Our contribution will assist in providing the trust with resources needed to continue
their work and ensure that the Lowveld remains a wild and beautiful place for generations to come.
We are proud to be able to give back to the community and the environment in this way. We hope that our contribution
will help to make a positive difference to the Lowveld area.

Lessons In Conservation
We are proud to support Lessons in Conservation, a youth-led non-profit organisation founded in Pretoria, South Africa in 2018. Their mission is to create a long-lasting platform that raises awareness about conservation in rural communities.
Lessons in Conservation shares our vision of preserving and protecting our wild spaces and is dedicated to leaving the natural world in a better place than they found it. By exposing children to the beauty of Africa's landscapes, they are creating young ambassadors who will defend their heritage for years to come. They believe that educating young children in rural communities will lead to a generation that grows up to love and accept conservation and the natural world.
We are honoured to be part of their journey towards a better future.
