Enhance your travel experience through eco-tourism and be one of many responsible travellers contributing to the preservation of our planet. When traveling as an eco-tourist, you help the planet as well as the economy of the country you are traveling in. Africa has embraced eco-tourism as part of its efforts to conserve its wildlife, breath-taking scenery and helping the people living in it.
