10% for Africa
Conservation
Our Mission
Tett Safaris is closely connected to Africa’s wildlife and wildlands conservation efforts. We know the continent intimately and are concerned about keeping these areas as pristine and untouched by man as possible. We only endorse and frequent safari lodges set in the best natural wildlife locations, and ensure these lodges and camps are true to sustainable practices.
Tett Safaris Gives 10% for Africa
You play a part in conservation by booking a sustainable safari, and Tett Safaris joins you by donating 10% of the profits of every safari to The Wilderness Wildlife Trust, an independent non-profit entity which supports a wide variety of projects across Africa. The projects and researchers that it supports address the needs of current wildlife populations and seek solutions to save endangered species and provide education and training for local people and their communities. These projects need our help and support more than ever, as the conservation projects deploy crucial efforts by monitoring wildlife, funding anti-poaching units, and providing social support.
The Value of Sustainable Travel and Safaris
Sustainable travel is now front and center in the world’s news and consciousness. We have always had these concerns, therefore each safari venue we endorse is an “experience economy” – it hosts travelers who pay a premium for the privilege of exploring pristine ecosystems and experiencing, in a deeper way, Africa’s precious flora and fauna. Your travel dollars create and fund jobs; one local employee supports an average of eight family members in an African community. Collectively, these safari camps protect and manage millions of acres of wildlands, and economically support hundreds of communities. Simply staying at our hand-picked safari camps means you have contributed greatly to the conservation of Africa.
Carbon Neutral Travel
What does it mean to become Carbon Neutral?
“It means we are taking action to achieve ecological balance between our activities that emit climate pollution and processes that reduce the impact of pollution to zero or close to zero. A phase out of fossil fuel emissions accompanied by a phase in of energy efficiency and renewable energy complemented by measures to bring down emissions from agriculture and forestry so as to achieve overall ecological balance.”
Being an African safari travel company, we rely on the beauty and stability of Africa’s natural environment; and part of that requires a certain stewardship to the continent, along with just a normal, healthy concern for our environment and a desire to keep things as pristine as possible for generations to come. In 2020, Tett Safaris became a carbon-neutral safari company, offsetting the carbon emissions of our bush planes, airport transfers, custom-fitted Land Cruisers, riverboats, and all land-based operations. To take care of this carbon footprint, we have partnered with South Pole, and invested in a portfolio of leading certified projects to offset our carbon emissions – and that makes your safari with us carbon neutral.
