At Rhino Africa, we believe travel should be a force for good. Our vision has always been to leave a sustainable and enduring legacy on the continent we call home. To further this mission, we’re proud to celebrate our 1% for Africa initiative. Through this commitment, a portion of every booking made with us goes directly to our Impact Partners. This means that simply by choosing to explore Africa with us, you’re actively contributing to wildlife conservation and community upliftment.
Travelling with Rhino Africa does more than protect wildlife; it has the opportunity to uplift communities and celebrate culture
How Your Travel Drives Change
The 1% for Africa initiative is our pledge to the future. For every guest who books a dream holiday with us, we offer the opportunity to donate 1% of your total booking value to our partners on the ground and join us in changing lives on the African continent.
This initiative is our commitment to reinvesting our revenue into the people and wildlife that make Africa so extraordinary. By streamlining the path between your travel spend and grassroots projects, we ensure your visit provides tangible, immediate support to those at the frontlines of conservation and education.

The Power of Your Travel
When you travel with Rhino Africa, you’re more than a guest. Instead, you’re a partner in conservation. Your journey helps fund the collaring and tracking of an endangered African wild dog, the digital education of a rural student, and the protection of the last remaining desert-adapted rhinos.
We invite you to join our journey and see the beauty of Africa for yourself, knowing that your presence here leaves a positive mark long after you return home.
