As an African Tour company that's passionate about Africa, Diwaka Safaris have a responsibility to the communities, wildlife and environment in the destinations we promote. We need to support responsible travel to these amazing places because it makes business sense, yes, but also because we have an online platform that we can use to make a positive contribution. With global reach we can help raise awareness of thoughtful development and conservation in places that we encourage our travellers to experience.
Below we've listed some projects that are making a huge contribution to developing, sustaining and protecting African communities, wildlife and conservation efforts.
