Sustainable & Responsible African Safaris

Part of our ethos is giving back. When you travel with African Studio Destination Management, a portion of our profits goes towards supporting organizations in Africa that need our help. Along with our chosen travel partners, we are committed to the preservation of wildlife and wilderness, the inclusion of communities and the desire to make a difference to this extraordinary place we call home.

We are also committed to sustainable tourism practices, and only work with operators and partners on the ground who strive to take care of both people and planet.
