All Eyes and Ears for Earth Day
*Graceful, slender and majestic, the impala is one of our most commonly spotted residents, but perhaps it is the animal that most of us relate to on Earth Day?*
There are many impalas out in the bush, all congregating together, pooling their resources of eyes and ears to detect any potential danger. Yet on a game drive, we often find ourselves thinking, “with so many living here, what difference will one less make?”
Well, let’s picture ourselves as the impalas of this world. We may battle to run 60km/h, but as one of the 7.9 billion people it's easy to think, “what difference can little old me make?”
There’s Nothing Little About You
*We’re here to tell you that you’re far more powerful than you think. There are ‘little’ things that you can do to make the biggest difference to our planet, and one of these is choosing sustainable tourism and going on a safari with us. *
Your Partnership's Impact
*As one of the founders of the Manyoni Private Game Reserve (previously Zululand Rhino Reserve), we are acutely aware that communities and conservation are inextricably linked. Therefore, a portion of your bookings benefits these two great causes.*
Zululand Rhino Orphanage
This is a fantastic initiative which rescues and rehabilitates baby rhino when their mothers have passed away, either from poaching or natural causes. So far they have an excellent track record with a good number of reintroductions back to the wild.
Zululand Conservation Trust
The Trust supports both local community and conservation initiatives. Whether it is painting a crèche, conducting school children's awareness safaris, or a conservation fundraising drive, we try to support as much as possible.
Taking Pride in Our Planet
If a pride can take down an elephant, giraffe or buffalo, what’s stopping us from slowing down the effects of climate change or standing up to greedy conglomerates and governments who do not put the environment and communities first?
*"We need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It's going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens - everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet." *

Be Responsible Without Responsibilities
