Eco-friendly travel
- Bring a refillable bottle and refill from filtered water.
- On safari, stay in the vehicle, keep your distance and never ask the driver to go off-track.
- Choose conservancies and lodges that work with local communities.
- Never buy ivory, skins or shells.
- Visit the elephant orphanage (Sheldrick Trust) instead of places that let you ride or pet wild animals.
- Water is scarce in many areas: take short showers.
