Interest in responsible travel is growing by the day, however Sanctuary Retreats has always been committed to conservation, giving back to local communities and encouraging guests to do the same. Recent initiatives include the relocation of 20 rhino into the Moremi Reserve in Botswana; wetland programs on Kenya’s Mara River, and the launch of the Chipego Bike Shop run by local women in the Zambian village of Nakatindi.
The company has also introduced filtered water supply and recyclable water bottles in all of its camps reducing purchased water by about 65 per cent. Sanctuary Olonana in the heart of Kenya’s most famous game reserve, the Masai Mara, was built along sustainable lines, and also has innovative wetland and tree-planting projects.
