Green Company

Drifters Adventure Tours has a proud history of conservation that spans over 3 decades. Our commitment to sustainability is based on international guidelines and ensures that our businesses activities and services do not negatively impact the environment and the interests of our communities therein. We actively commit to a range of philanthropic activities that ensure the well being of Africa’s natural and cultural resources. This policy and guide has been designed to inspire and help lead us through different sustainability objectives within our operations and routines.

our

Responsibility

Being Southern African owned and based, Drifters Adventure Tours has a company registered in every country in which we operate and we employ large numbers of local people in all those countries. Clients can therefore feel assured that a percentage of their tour fee is in fact going directly to all those local communities. Drifters Adventure Tours are also members of all major tourist associations and authorities, and are licensed and insured to operate throughout the region, thus ensuring accountability and providing clients with security and peace of mind.

the

Green Seat

In line with company values and commitment to creating shared value in the communities within which we operate, Green Seat was implemented to consolidate our product offered to our clients in care of our Planet, People and Wildlife footprint. Our guests have the opportunity to contribute towards Green Seat.

People

We value the essence of humanity in everything we do and aim to improve people’s lives.

Planet

We are committed to treading lightly on this earth in our everyday actions, and contributing to the rehabilitation of sensitive natural habitats.

Wildlife

What would we be as an industry without our natural resources, including our wildlife.
