our purpose
#TRADENOTAID
We are learning all the time. The more time we spend working in Africa the more we notice how much there is to learn. We aim to keep empowerment at our core, we aim to think of our purpose as a fluid idea that is enhanced by long term collaboration, grown through mutual cross cultural respect and inspired by what we have seen, experienced and heard. There is no perfect model for Sustainable Travel- there is a concept, and what defines that is up to the agents, operators, travellers and host communities- is it possible for that to work for everyone? We don’t know yet but this is what we strive for.
#ECOSYSTEMS
Protecting our ecosystems comes hand in hand with ecotourism and the promotion for the reliance of the local economy of a host destination.
Our current fundraisers are centred around the concept of the circular economy and importance of protecting Malawi’s ecosystems.
Who We Work With In Malawi.
Our company has chosen to work with existing organisations instead of starting our own projects. This is because we believe a more sustainable model of development is garnered through collaboration. We have been working with the same communities in Southern Malawi for 12 years, supporting their income generating initiatives, infrastructure and education programmes. We also work with a number of education, conservation and business training initiatives in Malawi. Our Malawian team help us identify organisations to partner with and continue this support through regular needs and impact assessments.
Our Malawian Staff
Our staff in Malawi bring the tingle to our company. They are the backbone of every successful expedition and they are the masters of creativity, adaptability and sharing their knowledge with you in a way that will make you fall in love with the people, landscapes and culture of beautiful Malawi. We have hand picked our staff and provide ongoing staff development, training programmes and support for their ongoing education up to Masters level. We also provide guide training for up to 20 freelance guides/drivers ensuring we have a pool of highly trained staff to work with.
