Pathfinder Safaris’ Commitment to Community and Environment
At Pathfinder Safaris, we’re more than just a tour operator in Tanzania; we’re pioneers in fostering sustainable tourism that enriches our communities and protects our environment. Join us, and embark on a journey that not only showcases the beauty of Tanzania but also contributes to a greater cause.
Empowering Local Communities
We’re deeply committed to showcasing leadership in tourism by minimizing environmental impacts and maximizing benefits for local communities. Based in Arusha, Tanzania, Pathfinder Safaris strives to grow in a way that allows us to host more guests while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and exceptional service.
Our team includes dedicated trip advisors and staff who are with you every step of the way – before, during, and after your journey. By employing local guides and porters, we provide vital income and employment opportunities in the communities we visit. This not only empowers the locals but also fosters a sense of stewardship towards their natural resources.
Boosting the Local Economy
Our tours encourage tourists to engage with and support the local economy. By using local hotels and buying local products, your travel expenses contribute directly to sustaining the community. Unlike reliance on foreign aid, this model promotes long-term sustainability and stability.
Recognizing the risks our employees often take, we ensure they are well-compensated. Tips from our clients, earned through top-notch service, serve as additional motivation and reward for their hard work.
Widening Impact on Tanzania’s Economy
Tourism in Tanzania positively influences a range of services – from transportation like ferries and taxis to the hospitality industry, including hotels, lodges, restaurants, and bars. This ripple effect enhances the standard of living across the country, aligning with our goal to uplift every town and city on the map of Tanzania.
Eco-Friendly Practices
As TeamPathfinder, our passion for the environment is at the core of our operations. We promote eco-travel and include programs aimed at minimizing traditional tourism’s negative effects on our natural surroundings. Our efforts span across recycling, energy efficiency, and water re-use, as we strive to protect and sustain our ecosystem and the indigenous culture, religion, and language of our people.
Environmental Responsibility on Tours
Whether it’s a safari in Kilimanjaro or a cultural trek, we always opt for environmentally friendly accommodations. Our zero-garbage policy, advocating the “pack in, pack out” approach, ensures that our beautiful landscapes remain unspoiled for future generations.
