Going Green, Safaris that Track Prints Not Leave Them
Hey Hey! By now, you know about Hippy Safaris and how important minimizing our footprint is to us. That's one of the main reasons we carefully choose our partners, only working with the most eco-conscious lodges and hotels in Kenya. Not only do you get the experience of a lifetime, but you also get the opportunity to do it right.
Why Eco-Conscious Matters to Us (and Should to You Too!)
We believe travel should be a force for good. By choosing eco-conscious options, you're directly supporting:
Wildlife conservation: Protecting endangered species and their habitats.
Reduced carbon footprint: Minimizing energy use and emissions.
Water conservation: Preserving this precious resource in arid environments.
Community empowerment: Providing jobs and opportunities for local people.
Cultural preservation: Respecting and celebrating local traditions.
Our Groovy Green Partners:
Here are a few of the eco-conscious lodges we're proud to promote:
Mara Engai Wilderness Lodge: This stunning lodge is powered by the sun, conserves water like it's liquid gold, and was built with local materials. Plus, they're all about supporting the Maasai community.
Loisaba Tented Camp & Star Beds: Nestled in the Loisaba Conservancy, these spots are all about conservation and community. They're planting trees, protecting wildlife, and empowering locals. Sleeping under the stars in their Star Beds is a truly magical experience!
Hemingways Watamu: Right on the coast in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Hemingways Watamu is leading the charge in marine conservation. They've ditched single-use plastics and are working hard to keep the ocean clean.
Elephant Pepper Camp (Mara): This intimate camp in the Mara North Conservancy is like a hidden gem, offering a super authentic safari experience. They're big on sustainability, with solar power, responsible waste management, and close ties with the local community. Plus, their location in a conservancy means less vehicle traffic and more exclusive wildlife encounters.
What This Means for Your Safari:
When you book with Hippy Safaris and choose one of these lodges, you're not just getting an amazing safari experience. You're also becoming part of something bigger, contributing to a more sustainable and responsible way to travel.
