Your support makes a difference
At the core of Natural Selection is the mission to meaningfully connect people to wild nature. Our regenerative tourism focus ensures that our business and our guests give back more to communities and conservation than we take from the destination.
Our Impact Model concentrates on 3 interdependent elements:
We firmly believe that conservation based tourism plays an important role in the protection of wilderness areas around the globe, particularly in Africa. Simply by visiting a wildlife area, travellers are encouraging its continued protection through tourism revenue. In addition, we make sure that 1.5% of every booking at our lodges is donated to conservation and that the per person per night Community, Conservation and Reserve (CCR) Fee goes directly to protecting wildlife reserves and supporting local communities.
By choosing to be at one of our Natural Selection camps or lodges, guests automatically contribute to the protection of the very wildlife they will see on safari and the upliftment of thousands of local people.
To see how your booking with us can help to make a meaningful difference please take a look at our latest Positive Impact Report which includes detail on our approach and the key conservation projects and community work we are supporting.

The Natural Selection Foundation facilitates our conservation impact agenda by focusing on expanding wildlife & habitat protection, empowering local rural communities, and enabling human-wildlife coexistence. Explore our projects by country and focus area below.
Giving to nature and people and their coexistence is what we’re all about. In order to expand the impact of our projects, we welcome your support.
Gifts can be made through the donation page of the Natural Selection Foundation, a US based 501c3 non-profit organization supporting impactful African conservation and community empowerment efforts. 100% of received donations go to projects.

For those guests who are interested in experiencing first-hand how responsible tourism can positively impact conservation and communities we offer an optional half-day activity at most of our camps.
We also offer more immersive conservation focused safaris that take you deep into the heart of our sustainable safari operations. These 8 day safaris are an incredible opportunity for you to not only stay in a number of our camps, but also to see the significant difference and impact your stay can have on the conservation of wildlife and the lives of the people in nearby villages.
The ongoing success of our conservation projects relies on your support.
