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 luxury 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.

When you embark on an adventure with us at one of our luxury African safari lodges, you join our family dedicated to preserving the planet for future generations. This shared purpose drives us, leading to partnerships with rural communities, eco-friendly initiatives like eliminating single-use plastics, supporting neighbouring communities to supply our safari lodges, implementing solar energy solutions, promoting ethical seafood sourcing, and engaging in various other conservation efforts.

1. Replacing all single-use plastics

2. Investing in solar energy farms
