Illegal wildlife trade in Africa, worth $7-23 billion annually, poses a grave threat to the iconic wildlife. Rhino populations have declined by over 90% in the last 40 years, and 35,000 elephants are killed each year for their ivory. By participating in an African safari, you can directly contribute to wildlife conservation efforts by paying entry fees and safari expenses.

At One Nature, we use solar panels to generate clean electricity 24/7. Our entire property employs custom-designed 1-4 W LED lights. Specialized distribution boards and circuit breakers support these lights, optimizing electricity use. The power consumption of four of our tents combined is less than that of a single halogen light bulb, showcasing the remarkable efficiency of our system.
We also take steps to contribute to a greener future with ONE tree at a time. Our dedicated camp staff have planted over 150 trees as an ongoing initiative.

These achievements exemplify the profound influence of safari-based conservation initiatives, ensuring a brighter future for Africa’s iconic wildlife.
