Our Commitment to Conservation
Natural Habitat Safaris is deeply committed to environmentally responsible travel that benefits local communities. We believe that travel has the power to protect wildlife, support people, and preserve cultural heritage — principles we view not only as our goal, but our responsibility.
Led by a team of passionate conservationists, Natural Habitat Safaris reflects a dedication to these principles that run deep within our company ethos and are manifested throughout our office and field operations.
In Africa, effective conservation cannot exist apart from the involvement of local communities who are affected by policies and practices implemented to protect resources and wildlife. When wildlife and cultural tourism provides viable economic alternatives to resource depletion, there is incentive to join conservation initiatives.
We thus firmly believe in involving, and giving back to, the communities near our operations. Many properties in our portfolio are on community land and are a major source of income for that community. In addition to any personal charitable activities, conservation fees paid by all guests as part of their stay are passed on to the community or utilized for specific projects. Community members who are employed by tourism enterprises such as camps are also ambassadors for their own culture, willing to teach the art of spear-throwing or how to use a bow and arrow. Some properties are hosted by tribesmen who join guests to talk about their culture. We seek to provide our guests the opportunity to experience Africa more fully through meaningful and mutually respectful cultural experiences.
In addition to supporting communities by virtue of our safaris, we also have ties with other projects, including Mpopongi Primary School on the Siana Conservancy in the Maasai Mara, and The Nest, a residential program in Nairobi that reaches out to protect children of imprisoned mothers from fighting for survival on the street. The Nest rescues affected children and improves their living conditions while their mothers are incarcerated, later reintegrating them and their released mothers with their extended families and society at large. We are happy to arrange visits to both of these locations in conjunction with your safari. Volunteer opportunities are also available, for an afternoon or several days — please inquire.

Studies suggest that two-thirds of the world’s polar bear population could be gone by 2050. And if current warming trends continue unabated, WWF scientists and other researchers believe that polar bears may disappear altogether within 100 years. WWF is intent on preventing this from happening.
