What is Ecotourism?
Ecotourism is “Responsible travel to natural and cultural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people.”
Traveling is the best way to explore the magic of our world. Traveling is the best way to experience cultures.
However, damage and waste occur because of inappropriate behaviors of travelers.
Kenya has always been a leader in EcoTourism and Community Tourism. At Adventure In The Wild Safaris, our safari tours support communities and preserve nature – which helps you get closer to both. So, when you travel with us, everyone wins.
Tourism that empowers local communities & protects the planet:
It’s no secret that Good Planets are hard to come by. That’s why in all our operations we put a lot of emphasis on Ecotourism & Responsible travel to ensure maximum experience with minimum negative impact.
When your trip benefits others, you gain too. Our safari tours support communities and preserve nature – which helps you get closer to both.
So, when you travel with us, everyone wins. Our safaris can impact their environments, cultures, economies and ways of life. Treating local people and places with respect is the right thing to do, and opens up possibilities for more authentic travel.
On your next safari with us, here are a few tips to honor ecotourism:
- Obey all game laws and regulations, and respect the fact that your guide is bound by these.
- Don’t approach animals too closely, and don’t encourage your driver to do so. The recommended distance is at least 25 meters away.
- To minimize disturbance to the animals, don’t make too much noise during game drives.
- Never give food to any animal in the wild.
- Aim to leave the environment as you found it. Don’t litter.
- Buy locally crafted souvenirs.
- Do not buy, or trade for, any articles which are covered under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) including ivory, turtle products, rhino horn, furs, butterflies and many plant species.
- Do not pick plants and flowers.
- Do not give sweets, pens etc. to children on the street as it can encourage begging. It is better to give through a local organization or school.
- As a courtesy, ask before you take a picture of someone.
- Child prostitution is illegal and should be reported immediately.
