Sustentabilidade
We send travellers into some of the world’s most pristine landscapes, where every decision must be rooted in minimising the environmental impact of their presence.
Go2Africa is a part of Nawiri Group, a Certified B Corp™, underlining our commitment to sustainability in how we design trips, choose
partners and advise travellers. We are committed to partnering with camps and lodges that share our values with the ambition that every safari we book delivers meaningful impact, both through our own programmes, but also by ensuring that the properties where our guests stay have clear plans to support wildlife, landscapes and local people, without compromising exceptional experiences and service.
We are guided by trusted global benchmarks including B Corp and Travelife and highlight both independently certified partners and those creating tangible impact on the ground.
We have taken on a an ‘ongoing audit’ to ensure the places we recommend meet clear, credible sustainability expectations and are ‘over / within a time frame committed to ensuring our entire supply chain is verified as sustainable. This includes ensuring the camps and lodges our guests stay in are operating responsibly, from tracking waste, water usage and emissions, to adopting renewable energy sources. And making a positive impact in the community
Travel experiences take place within living landscapes and communities. Without careful management, tourism can place pressure on wildlife, water resources and local livelihoods. When done well, it can fund conservation, create meaningful employment and help protect ecosystems that might otherwise be lost.
This is why sustainability shapes where we send travellers and who we work with.
Go2Africa does not operate accommodation or transport directly so much of our environmental impact lies in who we choose to work with, and who we don’t.
Every lodge, camp and supplier we recommend becomes part of our responsibility. If their practices are unsustainable, that impact flows directly to the traveller experience and to the destinations we promote.
Across Africa, many of the properties we work with are doing meaningful and often exceptional work for people, wildlife, and places. We recognise and value these efforts sustainability looks different in every context, and progress is rarely linear.
That’s why we invest significant time and resources into:
Our sustainability baseline is guided by internationally recognised tourism frameworks recognised by GSTC and approved by Travalyst and focuses on practical, measurable actions, including:
To evaluate sustainability claims responsibly, we rely on three complementary industry bodies, each playing a distinct role:
Where possible, we highlight properties that hold third-party sustainability certifications recognised by Travalyst. While certification is not the only route to responsible travel, it remains one of the clearest ways to demonstrate progress which helps strengthen integrity across our supply chain, reduce the risk of greenwashing, and gives our travellers confidence that claims are grounded in evidence. These certifications include:
We currently highlight a growing number of independently certified hotels, lodges, and camps across Africa that have undergone third-party audits against recognised sustainability standards, helping travellers identify options with verified environmental and social performance.
Raising standards within tourism cannot happen in isolation. Real change only occurs when sustainability becomes a shared expectation. By embedding sustainability into our supplier selection, trip design and advisory role, we:
As global expectations around sustainability continue to evolve, including new regulatory requirements in key markets, Go2Africa is committed to staying ahead of the curve. We will continue refining our criteria, strengthening supplier engagement and making sustainability clearer and more meaningful for travellers.
