Practicing Responsible Tourism in Uganda.

Safaris - Where we apply the principles of "Responsible Tourism."

Safaris and Tours are one thing but we are guided by Responsible Tourism Principles that are deeply ingrained within every member of our Team that make up Kabiza Wilderness Safaris.

Practices of Kabiza Wilderness Safaris that promote a sound Environment, assist local businesses and local community development and fair labor practices including Ugandan Laws and Regulations:

Environmental Considerations:

As we take you on a safari we do the best that we can to minimize the impact on the environment by using sound and well maintained vehicles in order to reduce fuel consumption and reduce the pollution impact on the environment.
No off-road or off track driving.
Training of Staff, Drivers and Guides in Responsible Tourism, sound Environmental Practices such as minimizing litter and properly disposing such in a manner that have the least impact on the environment.
Cooking with propane gas instead of using charcoal or firewood.

Employment Practices:

We hire Ugandan Staff and pay them an above standard salary.
We develop staff through through ongoing training including environmental , conservation and cross-cultural awareness.

Local Businesses:

We select lodging facilities that with sound environmental practices such as the use of rainwater, using solar electricity, eco-friendly toilets, recycling and proper disposal of rubbish without burning and waste water is properly treated and disposed of.
We focus on Ugandan owned accommodation facilities that reinvest into Uganda into the local community nearby.
We purchase Ugandan goods and use Ugandan suppliers whenever possible since we desire to promote Uganda and help Ugandans to find meaningful and rewarding jobs that allow them to prosper and help their families.
We abstain buying goods or services from any company, business, lodging facility that does not hold the values that we do.

Conservation Causes:

We create an awareness in our staff and clients regarding issues that may affect Tourism and Conservation, National Parks, Wetlands and Wildlife in a negative manner.
We will support communities that are near parks and put forth an effort in maintaining harmony between communities and the national parks or and or wildlife reserves.

Community Projects:

We support an outreach program to children born into slums of Kampala in the form of education, including a unique church for children that has over 500 children attend on any Sunday and are followed up during the week by social workers to assess their home situation and to see how they can be helped through education and other assistance..
We assist KIN Initiative Orphanageand are in the process of building a library for them that will assist in the education of children. A playground is also in the planning.
