We are a woman-owned, UK-based tour operator that offers locally inspired Southern African journeys. Conscious of our footprint on the planet and people, we advocate for dignity, celebrate humanity, and respect the environment we travel to. We showcase the heart of the destinations through diverse, colorful, and collaborative journeys that positively impact and empower. We specialize in volunteering holidays for grown-ups and leisure holidays that benefit both travelers and the destination.

Born and bred in Cape Town, our female founder is committed to creating authentic experiences that showcase the beauty of the people. Our supply chain is primarily women and youth from marginalized communities who are registered with their local tourism authorities and are professional in their conduct towards visitors. The travel and tourism industry is a vehicle to bring about transformation, and sustainability is at the heart of what we do.

Environmental Initiatives

• Carbon reduction: Guests are encouraged to join the efforts to ensure the preservation of water, save energy, and respect our natural environment. In your Pre-Trip Guide, you’ll find tips encouraging using water sparingly, using towels more than once, using air conditioners when necessary, and switching lights off when leaving your room. The trip includes the use of public transport in the city and walking tours in the other locations. The private game reserve is a solar farm, while all properties make sure that geysers are switched off when not in use. Light bulbs have been replaced by LED energy-saving bulbs. Food is sourced from small local suppliers with both vegan and vegetarian options.
• Environment and Wildlife: We are conscious of our footprint on the environment and the accommodations we have chosen are implementing sustainable policies. We start the tour in a tranquil area surrounded by a forest of leafy trees and sweet-smelling Fynbos. The nature-infused experiences like foraging indigenous plants for cooking a meal, will bring greater understanding not only about the area’s unique biodiversity but also the connection between nature and humans.
• Accommodation Initiatives: The on-site restaurant in the Winelands estate uses glass water bottles and biodegradable straws. Compostable cardboard for takeaway containers in the restaurant while they also make their compost on-site for the gardens. Their commitment to sustainability is put into practice when the entire estate and homeowners endeavor to recycle and have a dedicated service that only collects recyclable items. Management also regularly communicates educational information to encourage recycling. Eco-friendly pesticides are used to control rodents which do not harm other animals. The estate also partners with Cape Nature for the rehabilitation of tortoises to be released on the wine estate.

Sociocultural & Economic Initiatives

• All four properties are locally owned and are fully committed to community development in their respective areas.
• Apart from the city, all other establishments are away from the normal tourist attractions with the Fairtrade certification.
• This unique tour has been especially and intentionally designed to empower women from marginalized backgrounds working within the tourism industry. The supply chain is made up of women-owned small businesses that will directly benefit from this women’s expedition, which in turn will benefit their families.
• Most of the tour guides are female and from the local areas.
• We stay in small towns like Kleinmond, Wellington, and Oudtshoorn and visit markets, have a cooking experience in a local women’s home, and a community center.
