Is A Safari Ethical? The Loaded Question Shaping the Future of African Travel

Published:

Few travel experiences carry the emotional weight of an African safari. For some, it is the ultimate connection to nature while, for others, safari tourism raises uncomfortable but important questions. Is it ethical to observe wildlife this way? Who truly benefits? And what impact does tourism have on both wildlife and local communities? The truth is that there is no single answer to the question: Is a safari ethical? Safari exists in shades of grey, not black and white. Ethics in travel are rarely determined by simply going or not going. Instead, they are shaped by hundreds of decisions made behind the scenes, from who owns the lodge and how staff are treated, to where roads are built, how sightings are managed, and whether nearby communities are genuinely benefiting from tourism revenue. In many ways, an ethical safari is less about appearances and more about systems and here’s what we mean by this:

Giving Back to the Heart of Cape Town: Why Uthando Matters to Me

Published:

Africa has given me a life I could never have imagined. It has given me a career built around the magic of this continent, and friendships that span countries and cultures. It has given me a front-row seat to the extraordinary beauty and resilience of the people who call Africa “home.” And for that, I have always felt a responsibility - one that has certainly gotten louder through the years. Not just to showcase Africa to the world, but to give something meaningful back. One of the ways I do that is by supporting an incredible organization called Uthando South Africa.

When the World Feels Uncertain, Africa Still Delivers Bucket List Experiences

Published:

I’ve been sitting with this for a while. It’s not easy to write and it’s something I never thought I’d have to do again in a post-Covid world. Watching the headlines roll in. Watching the tone of emails shift. Watching the hesitation creep into conversations that, not long ago, were filled with excitement and most importantly, certainty. And if I’m honest, it’s been hard. No, not from a business perspective, but from a deeply personal one. Because the place that seems to be absorbing this uncertainty and second-guessing is my home continent - the one I love with my whole heart. Africa.

Inspirational Travel Stories

If you are looking for someone to help you plan a trip to Africa and/or a Safari, look no further!! Choose Kirsty with Anywhere in Africa Safaris.

When we started this process, we were overwhelmed. We contacted Kirsty who immediately simplified the planning for us. She helped us with a 4-day visit to Cape Town, followed by a Safari in Kenya. She helped with flights, tours, transfers, logistics, etc.

Her tremendous communication with us throughout our journey is what set her apart. She communicated with us daily via WhatsApp and she had professional teams in place in both Cape Town and Kenya who met us with name placards at the airport and made sure we were checked in for hotels, tours, and flights before they departed us. We had an amazing trip and are so thankful we found Kirsty... Highly recommend!

Kirsty and her Anywhere in Africa Safaris organized the most memorable trip for our family as we celebrated a birthday. 

We started in South Africa staying at a couple of different safari lodges followed by some relaxation in Mozambique. The whole trip was tailored to our needs with as many consultations as we liked prior to departure and no stone was left unturned. 

The attention to detail was first class; the WhatsApp group for continual contact during our stay, the transfers between each flight at each airport, the private road transfers, the pre-warning of allergies to each lodge we stayed at, even last-minute changes….the list is endless, but this is what made the trip so effortless. 

The quality of accommodation was on a luxury like no other, all hand-picked by Kirsty. We really cannot thank Kirsty enough for making this a trip of a lifetime. We can’t wait to do it all over again one day!

I cannot recommend Kirsty and Anywhere in Africa Safaris enough! From start to finish, our trip was nothing short of incredible, and much of the credit goes to Kirsty’s exceptional service and attention to detail. 

She completely changed my perception of travel agents for the better! Kirsty took the time to understand exactly what we wanted out of our safari experience and tailored the entire trip to fit our needs. Every detail, from accommodations to activities, was meticulously planned, and the result was a seamless, stress-free journey. 

The logistics were flawless—flights, transfers, and excursions all went off without a hitch, which allowed us to focus entirely on enjoying the adventure. The quality of our trip exceeded all expectations. 

Each destination offered something unique, and the lodges Kirsty selected were both luxurious and perfectly located. Kirsty even included a few thoughtful surprises that made the trip feel extra special. 

Thanks to Kirsty, our African safari was a dream come true, and I can’t wait to book my next trip with her. If you’re considering a safari, look no further than Kirsty and Anywhere in Africa Safaris—you won’t regret it!

Thanks to Kirsty Gordon we had an amazing adventure in September, 2024. Based on a recommendation from a friend, we worked with Kirsty to plan a multi-country trip. Over the course of multiple video conferences, Kirsty listened to our ideas and presented multiple scenarios for us to consider.

She planned out every detail of our trip, leaving nothing to chance, including flights, lodging, tours and transfers. 

One of our highlights was gorilla trekking in Rwanda. It was a mind-blowing experience. The two Tanzanian safaris were fabulous. We concluded our trip in beautiful Cape Town, which for us was an experience not to be missed. The guides working with Kirsty were great. They were knowledgeable, friendly and easy to travel with over multiple days. 

The trip was educational and hit every one of our requirements. We can’t wait to work with Kristy again on our next African adventure!
