Conservation & Social Responsibility

Creating a difference is our philosophy at One More Adventure Safaris.

We are a team of African enthusiasts as well as specialists in responsible tourism, cross border and multi destination tours and we all share a passion for the unique adventurous and unexplored parts of East Africa. We are committed to the belief that well-managed tourism is the key to protecting and maintaining the delicate natural ecosystems, the cultural diversity and the traditions, with a trickle down impact of tourism, to a local economy.

Being a Responsible DMC is at the heart of what One More Adventure Safaris is all about.

One More Adventure Safaris’ interpretation of ecotourism is structured around the 4C’s, a concept adopted from the Long Run Initiative of Jochen Zeitz: “a balance of commerce, conservation, community and culture”.

Conservation.

The two are so interconnected by virtue of their natural locations and dependence on each other, that to separate them now is a mistake. For a continuity existence, there has to be an initiative to support conservation. We therefore take a maximum consideration on supporting local community projects such as ecotourism sites, cultural villages, and performance, in addition to the money paid as park fees, and primate permits, of which part of them goes to funding conservation, and supporting the local community around the conservation areas, who will later take it into considerations, the importance of conservation.

Community.

As we strive as much as possible to support conservation, we as well look into the community, so that the positive factors of tourisms, as a trickle-down effect, in relation to the multiplier effect of commerce, to be felt by them, so that they do embrace the presence of tourism in their region, leading into conservation on long run. By doing so, we do support community projects such as craft shops, souvenir’s, local restaurants, cultural sites, as well as using the local guides during our safaris.The two are so interconnected by virtue of their natural locations and dependence on each other, that to separate them now is a mistake. Our model is responsible, sustainable, inspiring.

Culture.

At One More Adventure Safaris, we do involve cultural experiences in our tours, by doing so, at the end, the local community will earn a living from their cultural performance, directly supporting their livelihood and indirectly promoting a cultural heritage. We also encrypt the culture of travelling, within our own work environment. We’ve slept in the beds, tasted the food, met the people and seen the wildlife. It is our culture to sell what we believe that we have firsthand extensive knowledge about. Our knowledge and experiences are our currencies.

Commerce.

As we do understand, for a business success, there has to be returns on sales. Therefore, we do add a minimal percentage markup on our safaris, while we do put our guest financial situation at hand. We like to hear exactly what travelers’ expectations are, and if they don’t have anything specific, then we will make educated suggestions for the itinerary. Then fine tune it, matching their interests, until they are totally happy with it all. All our guides and staff are hand-picked locals, who understand their society, and the attractions.

At One More Adventure Safaris, we are commercial aware, and we do account for all the expenses, salaries and taxes. We do run a socially responsible company that creates a positive impact on the community, conservation and government. Our purpose is a shared one.
