Responsible Tourism
Travel with Purpose. Protect What Matters.
At Ecolegacy Africa, responsible tourism is not just a practice; it’s our promise. We believe that travel should be a force for good: protecting the wild places we explore, empowering the communities we visit who are stewards for nature, and creating unforgettable experiences that inspire deeper connections between people and nature.
Our approach goes beyond traditional safaris. Yes, you’ll witness the breathtaking beauty of Tanzania’s wildlife elephants roaming the savannah, lions stalking in the golden light, and hippos wallowing in riverbeds but with Ecolegacy, your journey carries deeper meaning.
Every itinerary we design is crafted to promote low-impact travel within protected areas, engage meaningfully with local knowledge and culture, support community-led conservation, and inspire you to be part of the long-term solution for Africa’s natural heritage.
We don’t just guide you through Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes; we invite you to join a growing movement where tourism becomes a tool for regeneration, education, and empowerment.
Whether you’re a photographer, a nature lover, a student, or simply curious about the wild world, we welcome you to travel with purpose and leave a legacy that truly matters.
Our Commitment to Conservation
Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes and incredible biodiversity are the foundation of our work. As a responsible tour operator, we are deeply committed to preserving these ecosystems for future generations.
- We partner with conservation authorities (e.g., TANAPA, TAWA, and local NGOs) to ensure our activities support conservation.
- Our trips follow Leave No Trace principles to minimize our environmental footprint.
- We support ongoing efforts in conservation programs with our partner organizations in places we visit.
- Our guides are trained in wildlife ethics and share knowledge about local flora and fauna with every guest.


Founded in 2025, Responsible Travel is the world’s first and largest responsible holiday company. I hope that you might consider travelling with us and joining 2,000 of our other customers. Our idea is that holidays that support local people and places bring you closer to both and are more enjoyable.Â

Empowering Communities Through Tourism
We believe that tourism must benefit the people who live closest to nature. Ecolegacy Africa is proudly rooted in local partnerships, ensuring communities are not just involved but are leaders and beneficiaries of our journeys.
- We employ local guides, cooks, porters, and drivers from the regions we travel through.
- We collaborate with Indigenous communities such as the Maasai and Barabaig, offering guests respectful, authentic cultural encounters.
- A portion of our proceeds is reinvested in education, conservation training, and grassroots initiatives through our conservation partners.
Sustainability in Practice
Sustainable choices are woven into every aspect of your journey with us:
- We partner with eco-lodges and camps that use solar energy, sustainable materials, and locally sourced food.
- We provide refillable water bottles and reduce the use of single-use plastics on safari.
- Our fleet is regularly maintained to minimize fuel emissions, and where possible, we use fuel-efficient vehicles.
We also encourage our guests to pack light, travel responsibly, and choose low-impact gear and products.
Educating and Inspiring Change
We see every safari as an opportunity to educate and inspire. Whether you’re watching lions on the Serengeti or hiking through the Udzungwa Mountains, our guides share stories that highlight the delicate balance between nature, people, and conservation.
