Sustainable Travel
Create special memories through responsible travel experiences
Take only pictures, and leave only your footprints behind. We believe in travelling with a purpose and making travel matter, which is why sustainability is more than just a buzzword for us. As supporters of the TreadRight Foundation, sustainability is woven into the fabric of everything we do.
We encourage purposeful, mindful travel which respects the environment and supports local communities. We’ll give you opportunities to meaningfully interact with the people and places of Africa – from the Maasai in Kenya to local Cape Town designers at the V&A Waterfront; from spotting red colobus monkeys in Jozani Forest to taking an environmental tour of a wine farm.
At Explorer, we don’t simply support sustainable travel, we live it.
