EcoTravel: Cart before the horse?
"Ultimately conservation is about people. If you don't have sustainable development around these (wildlife) parks, then people will have no interest in them, and the parks will not survive." -Nelson Mandela
Philanthropic Travel is a humanitarian endeavor.
Unfortunately, starving people who are challenged to read do not spend much of their personal energy pondering how to participate in environmental conservation. Conserving the environment will never be a success until those who live in the environment are empowered to protect it themselves. Exquisite Safaris believes that seeding sustainable humanitarian projects: in education, healthcare & entrepreneurship that enable people to get beyond the daily march for survival is a prerequisite to their participation in conserving their environment.
Philanthropic Travel = People First.
We are open to suggestions toward making the Exquisite Safaris experience environmentally sound and we will utilize new methods, technology and eco-friendly accommodations as they become available.
