Good2Go – The tour operator is committed to sustainable and responsible travel.

This is reflected in the “low impact” style of travel, where all that is taken are photographs and all that is left are footprints.

The travel company, 100%, is South African-owned and aims to make a real difference to the lives of the people in the countries it visits.

During this trip, the following goals are supported;

Victoria Falls Waterfront Lodge is 100% owned by a Zimbabwean. To save water, 99% of the water used at the lodge is filtered and reused.

They also support the Kwame school and offer a six-month training course in hospitality to students graduating in this field, to give them a good start for their future after their studies.

Nkwazi Lodge in 100% is owned by a Namibian and the staff are local residents. The lodge owner has set up a small school and provides 40 to 50 children with three meals a day and education to prepare them for their first year of primary school.

They also offer financial support to 40-50 primary and secondary school pupils and a number of university students. The guided tours of the local village provide financial support to local residents.

The lodge also uses 25% of its electricity from solar energy, and 50% of the vegetables required by the lodge are grown on site.

Terra Africa guesthouse in Windhoek is 100% Namibian-owned and all staff are local residents. Glass and plastic are sorted on site for recycling, and the cleaning products used are all biodegradable.

The Okavango Kopano Mokoro Community Trust is supported by entrance fees and camping fees that are paid to them, thereby covering the salaries of the traditional “polers”.

Furthermore, polers are encouraged to invest in the purchase of a replica made from fibre, rather than the traditional mokoro, which is made from a hollowed-out sausage tree and lasts only five years. This will help to prevent the sausage tree from disappearing.

Thebe River Safaris is run by local Motswana owners and provides employment to 89 Motswana staff.

The lodge grows its own vegetables and buys from local small-scale farmers. All waste is separated and recycled.

Although the lodge is situated on the river, the camp asks guests to conserve water as much as possible and uses LED lighting throughout the camp to save energy.
