Travel in Southern Africa is alive!
There are many parts of Southern Africa that have been hidden from mainstream tourism, modes of transport that are good enough for locals, but seen as unfriendly to tourists, the Green Guerrillas focus on exposing the raw authentic flavour of tourism in Southern Africa, allowing travellers to step out of their comfort zone and not just to take the photograph but to be part of it.
With Travel there comes carbon, and what bigger carbon input than flight travel, however it makes more sustainable sense to fly in tourists to developing countries than it would to build factories; it is this philosophy that the Green Guerrillas share, and take a step further.
Instead of paying a company for your carbon guilt to offset your conscious and earn you green points, take that exact amount of money FIND a way to green your home, LED lights, eco kettle, the market has many options.
Money talks, and when it comes to finding creative budget ways to explore Southern
Africa the Green Guerrillas are at the head of the class, to be able to discover the magnificent scenic beauty around us at affordable prices everyone can enjoy. We believe the more that see it, the more who will want to protect it, it is this reason that guerrilla tactics are used to infect travellers with our natural wonders, to recruit and spread the message that Travel in Southern Africa is worth fighting for!
Travel the Green Guerrilla way...travel is about taking your senses on a journey, open up to possibility; step out of familiar and into the adventure. The Green Guerrillas promote the idea of longer stays (makes sustainable sense), with City stays and surrounds, the GG offer unique and well structured 7 night stays in some of the most desirable and spoken of destinations within southern Africa. Local contacts, transport information, suggested programs-keeping it real!
