Giving back with "Ubuntu for change"
At Safari365, we believe that giving back to the communities in which we operate, while also promoting wildlife conservation are essential parts of responsible and sustainable travel.
We are committed to this cause, and for that reason started the “Ubuntu for Change” initiative in 2016.
Ubuntu, a Xhosa word meaning “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”, is the cornerstone of this cause.
Our aim remains to support a variety of charitable causes, including education, health, and social welfare programmes, as well as conservation and wildlife protection initiatives. We work closely with our local partners to identify organizations that are making a positive impact in the communities and places we visit, and we make donations and contributions to support their work.
2023: Uplifting Communities With Umuzi
For the 2023 year, Safari365 has partnered with Umuzi to help transform the lives of women and marginalized communities in the Eastern and Southern African Region.
This will be achieved through training of Digital Skills to individuals, making them employable in high-value, digital careers that have exponential growth potential in the ever-evolving modern world.
This three part project will select, train and accelerate the professional journeys of these young people, and should help to address the lack of opportunities available for marginalised communities in Africa.
For every booking made with Safari365 in 2023, we will contribute US$ 40 towards this initiative, and we hope to be able to donate over US$15,000 in 2023 which will help support over 600 learners.
Previous Charities Supported:
Feeding the less fortunate with Ladles of Love
At Safari365, we are committed to giving back to the communities in which we operate. In 2022, we were proud to donate 1200 meals to Ladles of Love, a Cape Town-based organisation dedicated to feeding the hungry and providing healthy food through a network of non-profit organisations.
Founded by Danny, Ladles of Love began as a small soup kitchen serving soup to the homeless once a week on St. Georges Mall. Today, the organisation serves hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children and families from depots throughout the Western Cape and Gauteng region.
We are honoured to have support the efforts of Ladles of Love and their mission of creating a better world for all. Our donation is just one small step in our ongoing commitment to giving back to the community and making a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
Helping Africa's wildlife with the Tourism Conservation Fund
We are committed to promoting conservation and protecting South Africa’s wildlife and biodiversity. That’s why we are proud to support the Tourism Conservation Fund, a non-profit organisation established by the Peace Parks Foundation and the Southern Africa Tourism Services Association in 2018.
The Fund aims to build a more inclusive wildlife economy by investing in communities adjacent to conservation areas, many of which have been historically excluded from economic development. By creating sustainable businesses and jobs rooted in the wildlife-tourism economy, the Tourism Conservation Fund works to preserve South Africa’s wildlife and promote biodiversity.
As a tour operator, we understand that responsible travel and conservation go hand in hand and were very pleased to support this initiative.
Keeping the homeless warm with Street Sleeper
We’re proud to announce that we donated 500 vinyl sleeping bags to Street Sleeper, an organisation dedicated to providing support for the homeless community.
Street Sleeper was founded to help the homeless communities. The innovative concept of creating a sturdy and sustainably sourced urban survival sleeping bag, that would last a long time, stand up to the elements, and double as a daytime pack that homeless people could use to carry their belongings, inspired us to support this initiative.
Street Sleeper’s mission is to provide practical, sustainable and dignified solutions to homelessness, and we are proud to support their efforts. We hope that our donation will make a difference in the lives of the homeless community and we encourage others to support the cause as well.
