For people living in popular tourist destinations, tourism can offer much needed opportunities for social and economic growth.
Responsible tourism is about tourists making environmentally friendly, sustainable, ethical and respectful choices when traveling and minimising the negative impact of tourism.
In our advisory role as tour planners and operators, we feel that we are in a position to guide and advise potential visitors to Southern Africa and to help them make the right, responsible choices.
Whether you wish to help in the areas of nature conservation or community upliftment, please contact us with your good intentions. We are proud to announce that we have officially aligned ourselves with Hoops 4 Hope and Mandela Park Mosaics.

| There are so many fantastic charities in Southern Africa, so for your contribution we have chosen the some that are close to our hearts. Southern Destinations was integral in starting Mandela Park Mosaics while Mark Crandall, founder of Hoops 4 Hope, is a longtime friend of the Southern Destinations team. |
