[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go with a local, ethically managed safari company like the one my friend runs in Tanzania, I can't imagine a less destructive vacation.

She previously worked at a non-profit that had quite a bit of ethical tourism and she oversaw the program.

Could safaris be unethical?  Yes.

But it's not the same as voluntourism which is basically taking day labor jobs from locals.  It's about learning about another part of the world, seeing nature, and giving money to a likely impoverished local economy.  All good things to do.

I'd have more ethical concerns about the flight over.[/quote]

What’s your friend’s company? I went to Tanzania long ago and am thinking of planning another trip soon![/quote]

It's Tanzania Choice Safaris:

I am the person who posted right above yours. If you've recommended Tanzania Choice Safaris before (about 2 years ago) on DCUM, I wanted to thank you. We went with them in 2023 and had a fabulous trip! [/quote]

So very glad!  Brenda is one of my favorite people and I've thought often (once my kids are older) about travelling with her.[/quote]
