Supporting local communities
Choosing locally owned guesthouses, restaurants and tour operators keeps more of your spending within the communities you visit.
Respecting wildlife
Keep a respectful distance from wild animals on safari, avoid activities that involve captive wildlife performing for tourists, and choose operators with clear ethical guidelines.
Reducing your footprint
Carry a reusable water bottle, decline single-use plastics where possible, and be mindful of water use in areas facing seasonal shortages.
Cultural respect
Dress modestly at religious sites, ask permission before photographing people, and take time to learn a little about local customs before you arrive.
