At The Elewana Collection we strongly believe in the power of conservation and responsible tourism to protect the local environment and support the local communities. Elewana or harmony in Swahili, is a concept that underpins our philosophy to impact our surrounding environment as little as possible, while creating a positive influence on local communities through initiatives like The Land & Life Foundation.
Our environmental and social philosophies are gently woven throughout the entire safari experience; be it revenue-sharing projects that support local conservancies, sponsorship of schools, students and medical clinics, responsible recycling of waste materials or the many other ways in which we aim to reduce our carbon footprint on the surrounding environment. Our staff are extremely passionate and constantly strive to find and develop new and sustainable eco-friendly practices.
