Responsible travel: Nkwali belongs to Robin Pope Safaris. They are an award-winning company in terms of responsible tourism. They believe in benefiting the wildlife, environment, the people who work for them and their neighbouring communities.

To this end, they back projects which alleviate poverty in their region and help with the education and health of local communities and staff. They are keen supporters of the Zambian Carnivore Programme in South Luangwa, as well as the anti-poaching units of the South Luangwa Conservation Society. All their camps use green technology wisely to minimise environmental impact, for example, solar power, green roofs and water conservation techniques.

Tribes has worked with RPS for years, and we know that they deserve their many awards.
