Bandied about, sustainable travel can quickly become something that one says but loses track of in the process of planning your holiday. At Patchwork, a commitment to sustainability in all of its forms is what keeps us on the straight and narrow. Our business is led by the mantra that a holiday should not only benefit the traveller but the people and places they are visiting as well. We will help you navigate this territory by making recommendations we have vetted and believe in. We work closely with a selection of partners that remain faithful to a strong sustainability ethos when it comes to people, the environment and conservation.
'Communities surrounding wildlife should succeed from conservation.
This is our end goal for generations to come'- Will Craig -
To protect and conserve long term, there must be a sustainable model of income and a commitment to the greater good. Tourism is this lifeline for many, be it people, wildlife or the land itself. It is a major source of revenue that sustains the long-term protection of huge tracts of land for biodiversity to thrive and supports the communities around these areas through employment and socioeconomic initiatives. By choosing your travel options carefully, you become part of this process of conservation and development for future generations.

With so many incredible initiatives in Africa dedicated to conservation, community development, and education, it can be a challenge to decide where to lend our support. However, there are always a few that hold a special place in our hearts.
