We define eco-tourism as an all nature-based form of tourism in which the main motivation of the tourists is the observation and appreciation of nature as well as the traditional cultures existing in natural areas.
Given the fact that we are an eco-friendly tour operator, we get involved in responsible travel practices such as ensuring proper disposal and limited use of plastic materials, our plant a tree campaign also is a true definition of an eco-friendly travel. We are involved in the planting of trees to restore the Nkuruba Nature reserve and pride ourselves for having planted over 10 acres of indigenous tree species, we encourage our visitors to be part of this campaign as a form of responsible travel.
Local communities around tourist destinations have always felt that tourists only travel to visit wildlife and do not take into consideration of the people protecting these areas. To change this, we promote a community based tour approach where we get the tourists and locals together interact for example during local community visits for traditional experiences like traditional coffee processing, traditional dances, child education support programs all these have changed locals’ mindset to the positive and therefore can see the need for environmental conservation to promote tourism which they feel they are part of and benefit directly.
