?? What If Your Holiday Could Heal the Planet?
What if the type of trip you choose—the lodge you sleep in, the wildlife you seek, the guide who leads you—could genuinely change lives and landscapes for the better?
The truth is: every experience we book sends a message about the future we want.
? Tourism Isn’t Neutral. It’s Powerful. More than 80% of global tourism value depends on nature—forests, coastlines, wildlife, culture. But that same industry, when done irresponsibly, can damage what it sells:
Wildlife disturbed or exploited
Water overused in desert resorts while nearby communities go without
Indigenous habitats cleared for hotel complexes
Cultural traditions commodified rather than honoured
The impact runs deeper than footprints in the sand.
?? Travel That Protects, Not Just Delights If I were to choose a wildlife adventure, it wouldn’t be just about the Big Five. It would be about protecting them.
Intrepid’s overland trip across South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe is the kind of journey that gets it right—game drives in Kruger, sleeping under stars in low-impact camps, standing in awe at Victoria Falls...
And walking with the Black Mambas—the world’s first all-female anti-poaching unit.
These incredible women don’t just guard rhinos. They change attitudes, lead communities, and prove conservation isn’t just for scientists—it’s a collective effort.
?? The Ripple Effect of Responsible Travel When you choose a Positive Impact trip, here’s what you're really investing in:
Fair wages for local guides
Accommodation that respects resources
Zero animal exploitation policies
Female-led conservation and education
Nature-first itineraries in protected areas
Community tourism that puts money back into local hands
You’re not just visiting—you’re part of something.
?? A Better Future Starts With How We Explore It’s tempting to think our individual holiday doesn’t matter. That the industry will figure it out. But tourism is personal. It’s powerful. And it’s ripe for change.
So next time you choose a trip, ask more. Choose better. Travel deeper.
Because the stories we live on holiday become the stories we tell—and the impact we leave behind lasts far longer than the tan lines.
