Baobab
supports the Dian Fossey
Gorilla Fund, Save the Rhino and The
AfriCat Foundation.
Our aim is
to provide unique insight into local cultures and
wildlife, whereby we create a platform from which
our guests can learn about the challenges involved
with conservation. Facilitating the commercial
exploitation of tourism to an optimal advantage
for these groups is a key aspect of Baobab’s
ethos.
The Dian Fossey
Gorilla Fund and its support of critically endangered
mountain gorillas and their environment is an integral
part of the Baobab philosophy. Clients visiting
Rwanda will have the great opportunity to view
gorillas in the wild and visit Fossey’s historical
stomping grounds. A portion of every Baobab booking
goes towards this worthwhile organisation and all
Baobab clients become members free of charge.
We have incorporated
Save the Rhino conservation projects into our expeditions
throughout Eastern Africa. Witnessing how Save
the Rhino operates on a daily basis and meeting
the project staff face to face is a unique benefit
of these expeditions. We donate a fixed fee per
person, per day for every Baobab visit we make.
Baobab clients visiting SRI projects will become
members free of charge.
AfriCat provides
a haven for Namibia’s large carnivores, especially
cheetah and leopard. Here you will view cats in
close proximity and interact with conservationists
and on-site staff to learn more about their efforts
with these beautiful creatures. We donate
a fixed fee per person for every Baobab visit we
make. Baobab clients visiting the AfriCat
project will become members free of charge.
