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 most time travelling to. It is our goal to help create meaningful change in both locations.
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 1.5% of our total income 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.
We are committed to donating 1.5% of our total income to the Singita Lowveld Trust. By doing this, 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.
