AFRICAN SAFARI FOUNDATION

The ASF is a not-for-profit organisation. We build mutually rewarding partnerships between communities, ecotourism operators and conservation agencies in some of Africa's poorest regions... The ASF team has decades of experience linking rural development to conservation and eco-tourism. Our mission is to facilitate rural economic growth, community ownership, skills development and job creation through responsible and proactive forms of tourism and conservation. We follow a rights-based approach that facilitates the pro-poor impacts of nature-based tourism. We emphasise the role of women as positive agents for long-term change in rural communities. We increase the flow of tangible benefits into the households of local residents via ownership, skills development, fair wages and supply contracts. We do this in partnership with local community-based organisations that encourage fair and equitable distribution of such benefits to their members.
