During Earth Month—and always—we believe travel is a force for good when planned with care. Conservation of communities and wildlife is one of our core values, especially because we send travelers to some of the world’s most remote, fragile, and beautiful places. A portion of every trip supports our partners in their work to conserve the natural environment, wildlife, and biodiversity. Of utmost importance are the local communities—there is no conservation without community. Our partners provide employment, healthcare, education, training, and development. When you book a journey with us, it’s sustainable—full stop. Consider us the slow fashion equivalent of travel: ethical, intentional, and connection-based.

If you’re looking to travel somewhere which has a holistic experience of high-end luxury safari paired with unparalleled conservation initiatives in parts of Africa that are still untouched (and they intend to keep them that way) this is it. Dereck and Beverly Joubert have made it their lives’ mission to conserve Africa’s wild places. We sat down with Derek while he was at their camp, Mara Nyika, in Kenya (and we got a guest appearance from Beverly) to chat about sustainable tourism, conservation, and Earth Month…

Through decades of collective experience based on Extraordinary Journeys staff visits and client feedback, we’ve curated a shortlist of Kenyan safari lodges that stand above all others.
