Social responsibility
Guides for this tour are from disadvantaged local communities and are well trained on the flora and fauna of this unique area. The
employment opportunities provided for these guides are extremely important sources of income for themselves and their families.
Supporting these initiatives helps to build sustainable communities that are educated on the importance of preserving this pristine
environment. Additionally guests have the option to “green” their trip and offset their carbon footprint by adding the cost of a tree
to the total price of the tour, this will go towards to planting an indigenous tree in the surrounding area. Guests will receive the GPS
coordinates of the tree.
