Sustainable tourism in Kenya

Travel with reputable operators and qualified safari guides. Your guide can make the difference between the holiday of a lifetime and an unsafe and unsatisfying safari. Insist that your tour operator and accommodation facilities use only trained and certified guides. Travelling with a qualified guide will ensure that you see the very best that Kenya has to offer without diminishing the experience for future visitors.

Support eco-friendly accommodation facilities. A growing number of Kenyan lodges and safari camps are changing to environmentally responsible services, using solar and wind power, keeping rubbish out of protected areas, treating wastewater, and supporting local conservation projects. Please take time to visit community projects supported by your lodge or camp, and support local conservation work in the areas you visit.

Respect local cultures and promote community benefits. Local communities are the custodians of the wilderness of the future. While on safari, try to support projects and properties that benefit local people through employment, community development, and the preservation of traditional livelihoods. When you visit local villages, please respect social and cultural customs and ask your guide about appropriate forms of behaviour. Always ask permission if you wish to photograph a person, their home or their livestock.
