The Ripple Effect Of Our Safaris In 2024

The US$7.8 million raised through park fees, conservation levies, and infrastructure taxes directly supports and protects wildlife and natural resources in these areas.

Sanparks, which manages South Africa’s national parks, generates 80% of its operating budget through visitor fees, while Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA) is completely funded by visitor fees. Through the US$2 million raised by our group and impact program, we’ve supported several initiatives to help build stronger communities and healthier ecosystems. This included supporting over 11,000 children’s education by providing desks and volunteer teachers.
