We take climate protection very seriously. And we know that our trips increase the CO2 content in the global climate. However, in other places, non-travel has negative effects on nature and species protection, jobs in southern Africa, preservation of cultural identity and much more. As a responsible organizer, we have therefore decided to take over 100% CO2 compensation in the future. This includes your booked land package and all flights included in it. If you also book your trip to Africa through us, we will of course also compensate for long-haul flights. Our partner for this is atmosfair, test winner at Stiftung Warentest 2018.
For environmental reasons, we refrain from using printed documents wherever possible. In order to minimize the consumption of raw materials, we also refrain from using paper catalogs and use 100% for business operations green electricity, travel - whenever possible - by train instead of by car and do not move company cars, but bicycles. We will, of course, provide full CO2 compensation for necessary flights.

Even though we operate on a fairly small scale, every step we take with you, our guests, on your journey ultimately contributes to achieving this big goal. For us, it is the basis of our actions.
