OUR COMMITMENTS
Responsible, sustainable and ethical tourism
Our mission at the heart of more responsible tourism
At South African Travellers, we believe in responsible tourism, which cares for the land, local populations and travelers. Our commitments revolve around three main areas: sustainability, social responsibility, and diversity and respect for people. Supported by our entire team, these commitments embody our vision of travel: fairer, more conscious and more human.

Sustainability policy

Our solidarity initiatives
and local initiatives
Conscious of the impact of tourism, we make a contribution to two local NGOs for each trip booked. We also choose to work only with suppliers who respect their employees, support their communities, and share our values of fairness and sustainability.
HBUFC – More than a club,
a community project
Through soccer, HBUFC brings together young people from three Hout Bay neighborhoods. The club offers them a safe environment, academic support and personal development workshops. The aim is to foster the emergence of a new generation that is aware, committed and supportive.
Care Cruisers –
actions in the heart of Cape Town
Founded in 2016, Care Cruisers NPC works in Cape Town to create a bond of solidarity between the homeless and the city’s residents. Every week, the association distributes meals, relief packages and basic necessities, while offering a moment of listening and comfort. Beyond material aid, Care Cruisers embodies a profoundly human approach: reminding everyone that they are seen, respected and worthy of attention.
An evolutionary approach
Our commitments are not set in stone. We regularly re-evaluate our policy to adapt it to the realities of the tourism sector and to environmental issues. This continuous improvement also relies on the active involvement of our teams, partners and customers.
