conservation work

The Big 5 Safari company is a supporter of The Zambezi Society and SOS Africa.

Through the depth of contacts we have in Southern Africa we are continually assessing which operators we work with based on a number of criteria, but of utmost importance is their care of the environment and communities they work within. We in turn recycle a proportion of our profit into key projects that we have particular empathy with.

Our ongoing charity works supports a number of organisations. This includes The Zambezi Society for all the work it does in protecting the wildlife in the Zambezi Valley – one of Africa’s most beautiful, yet vulnerable corners.

Supporting Zam Soc allows majestic bull elephants like Boswell, the inspiration for our logo, to survive the threats that poaching brings.

We have also witnessed first-hand the devastation that AIDS has had in Sub-Saharan Africa and how families and communities have been decimated. Orphans without much hope and families on the brink of poverty have been aided through the excellent work of charities like SOS Africa and with their help we are sponsoring a child through the whole of her education.
