Over the years travelers have become more aware of the importance of responsible and sustainable tourism. Unfortunately, many companies have taken advantage of this concept and participated in what is known as ‘Greenwashing’, claiming to have a positive impact and give back to people, places and the planet when in fact they are not.
Tanzania is one of the more expensive African safari destinations, due to many external factors, including higher operational costs than most destinations. As you will have realised it’s very competitive and there are lots of choices. But buyer beware, oftentimes lower priced trips, both here and anywhere in the world, usually means something is being sacrificed. It’s could service standards, safety or comfort, but it’s usually the local workers who will suffer the most.
We believe in total transparency to our clients, our teams and our communities, and would like to share with you what makes travelling with African Scenic Safaris different from many other companies.
