Promoting Sustainable Tourism

We strongly believe in sustainable tourism and therefore fully support The Arusha Manifesto slogan

“The survival of our wildlife is a matter of grave concern to all of us in Africa. These wild creatures amid the wild places they inhabit are not only important as a source of wonder and inspiration but are an integral part of our natural resources and our future livelihood and well-being.

In accepting the trusteeship of our wildlife we solemnly declare that we will do everything in our power to make sure that our children’s grand-children will be able to enjoy this rich and precious inheritance.

The conservation of wildlife and wild places calls for specialist knowledge, trained manpower, and money, and we look to other nations to co-operate with us in this important task – the success or failure of which not only affects the continent of Africa but the rest of the world as well.” Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere, 1961.

Nyerere’s philosophy to cherish and protect Tanzania’s spectacular wildlife as a prime national heritage is fully expressed in the high priority the Tanzanian government has given to the conservation of natural resources. Although Tanzania initially had just one National Park which is the Serengeti, there are over 15 more Parks created and about 30 percent of Tanzania is protected which includes game reserves, national parks, marine parks, conservation parks and reserves preserving the country’s rich natural heritage. Consequently, most of our clients are repeat visitors who are environmentally conscious travelers. This has motivated our company to adopt a tagline: “Where there is greenery, there is peace and happiness” Our effort is directed towards promoting sustainability of our environment, the host communities as well as our tourism business.
