Sustainable travel in Tanzania
Sustainability and environmental friendliness are very important to us in Tanzania. We fell in love with this beautiful country years ago and would like to remain so for the rest of our lives. We are committed to sustainability with our accommodations, staffing and all other pursuits. In this blog we would like to take you through exactly how we do this!
Sustainable accommodations
Our accommodations are mostly in the middle of nature. So at some accommodations you can see the wild animals outside your window when you wake up. We want to keep it that way and we want to disturb nature as little as possible. So we have made sure with our accommodations that they do not harm the local environment while still being able to provide luxury.
Sustainable tourism
Sustainable tourism is also an important part within our organization. We take you through nature and of course do this as sustainably as possible. We are therefore very proud to be affiliated with organizations such as Travellife, Zanzibar Tourism Investors and Hotel Accommodation Zanzibar. These partnerships show our commitment to fair and sustainable tourism. When you travel with us you not only book a great trip, but you also contribute to the local community and sustainability.
Plastic bags
Prior to your trip to Tanzania or Zanzibar, we inform you of a very important sustainability rule. Namely, you are no longer allowed to carry plastic bags with you since 2019. This rule was introduced to protect the beautiful nature from plastic bags flying around. This rule involves all types of plastic bags, regardless of size. The only exception made is plastic ziplock bags for toiletries.
Responsible human resources management
At Paradise & Wilderness, we value our staff immensely. These are people who work daily to provide our guests with the best time of their lives. Therefore, we also take good care of our staff. Everyone on our team has a stable contract with a good salary. With this contract, they can consistently take care of their families and have a bright future. By traveling with us, you contribute to our responsible personnel policy and are 100% sure that no staff is extended. In addition, our staff ensures that you will experience the vacation of your dreams.
Tinga Tinga Paintings
Tinga Tinga is a style of art originating in Tanzania, known for its bright colors and surreal images of animals and nature. The paintings are usually made with lacquer or enamel paint on a canvas on wood. They are perfect as eye-catchers in your interior. Because the paintings are rollable, you can easily take them with you as a souvenir. The paintings are all unique and special. Be surprised!
Paradise and Wilderness foundation (supporting local people)
When you travel with us, you also support local communities in the process. With our own foundation, we are committed to making life better for Tanzanian families. We do this by supporting local development projects and by visiting local people with excursions.
Excursions with locals
During various excursions we visit the local people of Tanzania and Zanzibar. This way we support these communities a little extra while giving our guests an unforgettable local experience. Here are some examples of excursions where you visit local people.
