Wildlife Conservation | Eco Tourism in Botswana

Children on Safari
Some safari companies have realised that children are the future of conservation in Botswana, and the rest of Africa, and have implemented various children's programmes to teach the kids the value of conserving the environment. Guides and staff have been trained to lead kids into appreciating their natural heritage.In the past the lodges of Botswana were loathe to allow kids on safari but recently more and more operators are seeing the benefits of letting children learn from a young age about the environment.Embracing the Future
Eco-tourism is a hollow concept if the local people are not involved in operations and Botswana safari operators today have embraced this and brought local people into the lodge operations.Eco-tourism may be merely a word, or a marketing tool, to many operators but in Botswana results have been positive on the eco-tourism front and the message of environmental conservation is getting through. Another positive is the number of local Botswanians who are getting involved by setting up their own safari operations.![]() Enquiries / Questions |
