Community and conservation
For nearly three decades, we have been trailblazers in the realm of community-driven conservation. Isibindi Africa Lodges has maintained enduring collaborations with neighbouring communities to safeguard the game reserves, marine environments, lakeshores, and riverbanks where our safari lodges are located. We have not only shielded the prospects of these conservation areas for future generations but have also empowered rural communities by demonstrating the tangible value that comes from conservation.
