Hippy Safaris: Exceeding Expectations in Sustainable Tourism
At Hippy Safaris, we're not just passionate about showcasing the wonders of East Africa; we're also deeply committed to responsible and sustainable tourism practices. We believe that travel should be a force for good, benefiting both the traveler and the destination. That's why we go above and beyond to ensure our safaris and adventures not only meet but exceed the Kenyan government's recommendations for sustainable tourism.
Aligning with Kenya's Vision for Sustainable Tourism:
The Kenyan government has outlined clear guidelines and best practices for sustainable tourism in the "Sustainable Best Practices in Line with Global Benchmarks" report.
