World Safari Day – Creating an Impact for a Sustainable Africa

Experiences, people, conservation & culture, are all the interconnected elements of what makes a safari authentic. World Safari Day is a reminder of the importance of preserving and rejuvenating these aspects. We’ll keep you up-to-date with exciting happenings within the industry as the world opens up again with news, podcasts and more.

Established by African Bush Camps, we aim to revive the essential safari tourism industry, which has such a positive impact on Africa’s people and wildlife. People are powerful, especially when we get behind a good cause – so please help us by celebrating #WorldSafariDay, on the 25th of November.

ABOUT US

In light of the pandemic, tourism has arguably taken the biggest hit in the world ‘shutdown’. While it’s given the industry time to pause and adjust, the multitude of benefits safaris bring to Africa must be celebrated. We need to fly the flag high and get people back to nature!

Experiences

A safari isn’t just a passive holiday. Walking safaris, canoeing safaris, game drives, mokoro excursions, community visits, boat rides – all of this is a way to experience your environment, connect to nature and help you live in the moment.
