RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

Promoting Responsible Travel at Summit Wild:

At Summit Wild, we are committed to fostering a sustainable and responsible travel culture. Our ethos is grounded in the belief that travel should benefit both the traveler and the destinations visited. Here are some of the key principles we adhere to:

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP 

We prioritise eco-friendly practices to minimise our environmental footprint. This includes:

  • Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Collaborating with hotels and lodges that implement green practices such as renewable energy, water conservation, and waste reduction.

  • Responsible Wildlife Tourism: Ensuring that our wildlife tours do not exploit animals and contribute to their conservation.

SUPPORTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES

We believe in giving back to the communities that welcome us. Our initiatives include:

  • Local Employment: Hiring local guides and staff to ensure that tourism dollars support the local economy.

  • Cultural Respect: Promoting cultural sensitivity and respect among our travellers, encouraging them to engage with and learn from local cultures.

SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL PRACTICES

Our commitment to sustainability extends to all aspects of our operations:

  • Small Group Travel: Limiting group sizes to reduce environmental impact and ensure a more intimate travel experience. We will always let you know the number of people coming in your group.​

  • Waste Reduction: Encouraging travellers to use reusable water bottles, bags, and other items to reduce single-use plastics.

EDUCATION AND AWARENESS

We strive to educate our travellers on responsible travel practices:

  • Pre-Trip Information: Providing detailed information on how to travel responsibly, including guidelines on respecting local cultures, conserving natural resources, and reducing waste.

  • On-Tour Practices: Ensuring our guides are trained to uphold our responsible travel principles and share this knowledge with travellers.

  • Feedback and Improvement: Actively seeking feedback from travellers to continuously improve our responsible travel practices.
