Communities and Ecosystems Thriving Together

​Connected Communities and Conserved Landscapes

At Go2Africa, we are best known for curating and delivering exceptional, personalised African safaris, crafted with first-hand expertise and deep local connections. Our ambitions go beyond delivering incredible adventures. We believe travel should be a force for good and that our clients’ trips contribute positively to the areas they visit. Our vision is to use responsible travel to create a sustainable and prosperous future for natural ecosystems in Africa, and the local people living in and around these unique, globally important areas.​

We are actively involved in initiatives across the continent with local partners who share our commitment and vision of helping people and ecosystems thrive together. Find out more about our positive impact approach:

Communities

We believe that those who bear the costs of conservation deserve to share in its benefits. Our approach is twofold: reducing the burdens of conservation—such as human-wildlife conflict—and increasing the benefits of it, creating income sources tied to healthy ecosystems. This approach builds a future where communities thrive alongside protected landscapes. ​

Ecosystems

We are committed to protecting and restoring the ecosystems where we operate, providing positive benefits through ecotourism. These vast landscapes are vital for biodiversity and play a crucial role in stabilising the global climate. However, habitat loss, climate change, and rural poverty are pushing many ecosystems to a tipping point beyond which they may face irreversible decline. We focus on creating sustainable income from natural assets, funding work to restore biodiversity and strengthen ecosystem health.​

Sustainability

Sustainability is built into every aspect of Go2Africa. We recognise that we send our travellers to some of the most fragile and ecologically significant landscapes in the world, making it essential that our business minimises the environmental impact of travel, promoting responsible travel practices with a commitment to sustainability. From the way we run our office to how we select the partners we work with; we are committed to minimising both our footprint and that of our clients.

Our Impact Approach

We recognise two major challenges in Africa's critical wilderness areas: significant biodiversity loss and entrenched poverty among surrounding communities. Our impact agenda is designed to address these interconnected issues.  ​

In the last financial year, we directly funded over $100,000 of projects in East and Southern Africa. The projects we invest in focus on improving access to and the quality of education, improved opportunities and livelihoods for communities living in and around the areas our guests are visiting, and environmental projects that help safeguard Africa's ecosystems. ​

As part of Nawiri Group, our combined operations contributed US$7.8m to nature protection, ensuring crucial funding for conservation efforts. A further US$2m contributed to funding projects run by our NGO partners that create win-win solutions for people and wildlife, providing substantive, direct economic returns to communities who protect these landscapes. ​

Our B Corp certification underlines our commitment to prioritising the environment and society in the way we do business, supporting a future where responsible travel creates benefits that allow communities and ecosystems to thrive in harmony.  ​

Alongside delivering on our own impact agenda, we use our experience and sphere of influence to support our employees, clients and friends with their own, purpose driven efforts to make a difference in ways that matter to them. ​

The travel industry can't change without you.  ​
