We take travellers to some of the world’s most pristine landscapes, where every decision is focused on minimising their environmental impact. We are dedicated to ensuring that our entire supply chain is verified as sustainable. This includes confirming that the camps and lodges where our guests stay operate responsibly. We track waste, water usage, and emissions, and we adopt renewable energy sources to achieve this goal.
Since founding Pygmy Tours & Travel, we have always aimed to positively impact the society and environment around us. To help make your travel dreams a reality and facilitate journeys to the diverse corners of our amazing planet, both we and our guests must contribute positively to the communities and places we visit. We believe that, when done well, tourism can be a powerful force for good. It can support local economies and communities, promote the conservation of endangered animals and habitats, and foster understanding among different cultures.
We are committed to partnering exclusively with camps and lodges that prioritize sustainability and measurable impact. Our objective is clear: to ensure that 100% of the properties we book actively implement sustainability strategies that support both the natural environment and the local communities they operate within.
In the absence of a standardized sustainability framework across Africa, we have developed a robust internal assessment model grounded in the globally recognized GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) criteria. This framework allows us to critically evaluate each property’s ecological and social footprint, empowering us to curate safari experiences that are not only exceptional but genuinely responsible.
By holding ourselves—and our partners—to these high standards, we strive to make conservation-driven travel the new benchmark in African tourism. Let your journey make a lasting difference.
We believe that transformative change begins with conscious choices. That’s why we’re dedicated to building a global community of responsible travel advocates—people who understand that where they stay and how they travel matters.
As more travellers embrace sustainable tourism, the industry evolves, shifting toward practices that preserve ecosystems and empower local communities. To spotlight this impact, we proudly offer our Highest Impact Safaris and Trips with a Purpose—immersive experiences designed to create lasting, meaningful change.
These journeys go beyond breathtaking landscapes; they invite travellers to become part of the solution, contributing to conservation, cultural preservation, and sustainable livelihoods while exploring the wild beauty of Africa with integrity.
