Wilderness Journeys is delighted to announce that it was highly commended by the Responsible Tourism Awards in the Best Operator in a Mountain Environment category.  While we missed out on winning the award, we are not too disappointed as it means our commitment to sustainable tourism in the mountainous regions where we run many of our trips was still recognised at a very high level.
 
One of the key aspects of the award focused on our Environment and Community Fund. Through this fund, Wilderness Journeys has provided significant financial support to the development of a partnership between the UK-based environmental charity, the Wilderness Foundation and the Green Belt Movement – an inspiring Kenya charity dedicated to reforesting Kenya under the leadership of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr Wangari Mathai. 

 

Sustainable tourism is an integral part of our company and we focus heavily on community-based and community-involved tourism experiences, where the preservation of wildlife and natural forests is central to the livelihoods, customs and cultures of the local people.
