TRAVEL GREEN WITH SOUTHERN TOURS AND SAFARIS
BIG 5 GREEN TRAVEL WAYS FOR SOUTHERN TOURS

1. Eco-friendly destination- We try to identify and use green hotels/lodges for our trips.
2. During the trip we visit local schools and workshop them (students and local people) about sustainability and environmental issues focusing on climate change.
3. We match a donation given by our clients up to $100 to buy more trees and support other activities that focusing on climate change. On all our trips where possible we visit different communities and spend an hour with them planting trees.
4. We use less emission producing vehicles (NO DIESEL VEHICLE) until we find the emission detectors for our vehicles while working on raising funds to buy electric vehicles for our tours.
5. Within the cities, we walk, bike use safe mode of local transportation like trains where possible (OR Tambo to Rosebank/Sandton).

BIG 5 GREEN TRAVEL WAYS FOR OUR TRAVELERS (our recommendations)

1. We encourage all our travelers to take direct flights to minimize the aeroplanes emission during taking off and landing (planes produce more emission during take-off and landing because of the engine demanding power, connecting flight might be cheaper but they are not good for our environment).
2. Go digital- We don’t print flight tickets, travel invoices and other documents. Keep them in your smartphone as a Pdf, take a picture or keep them on your emails, you can always login on a cafe and access all your documents in case of need.
3. Pack light – the lighter your luggage the lesser aeroplanes and vehicles consumes gas during your travels
4. Reuse your towels, sheets (in hotels) and bring your reusable water bottle
5. Try to eat local food than eating something that was transported 500km away (eat fish only along the ocean not inland)
