Adrenaline is flooding through you like never before as you watch the Eland bull you’ve just helped give lifesaving antibiotics to, bolt back into the South African bush. In South Africa, wildlife and heritage conservation are just as important as maximizing green travel. When in Cape Town, venture out on a walking tour with a private local guide and visit traditional markets and artisan souvenir stalls, or if you are headed to the south coast, jump on a train to the Cape of Good Hope to see penguins paddling in the pellucid waters at Boulders Beach. For a sense of adventure, explore the savannahs of northern South Africa on a riding safari, or even on foot with a guide who knows where to find an elusive aardvark or the tiniest wobbly-legged giraffe calf. To make your already responsible trip even greener, take part in a game census safari in the Waterberg, or witness the wonder of a rhino release with the Rhinos Without Borders conservationists, so that you can go home knowing you have helped make a difference. The overwhelming ‘clean travel’ hurdle when it comes to South Africa responsible travel is flying to and from this wonderful wilderness. But fear not. We absorb 100% of your flights carbon footprint as part of our Original Services so you can travel guilt-free.
