Our social practices

We enjoy giving back to the communities where we live.

Our goal at Monumental Expeditions and Safaris was to give back to the local communities in the places we take our clients. This is crucial because local communities are at the center of the conservation of the attractions that make up our business model.

We do this by supporting local community projects and charities with a portion of our profits, and occasionally with help from our clients. This is something really special, and we always love discussing it with our clients, who all find it entertaining.

Assistance for Education

The foundation of our community support is education, which is the most significant factor in the majority of African local communities. We take pride in our affiliation with a number of neighborhood charitable initiatives that offer youngsters in the areas where we operate long-term educational help.

We responsibly interact with the local communities at each of our destinations in an effort to enhance their quality of life and enable them to profit from local tourism. Free elementary education is an option for African children.

However, schools in this region are overcrowded and poorly furnished, and kids frequently have to travel many miles every day to get to school—across potentially hazardous bushland. They do amazing things and meet high levels of performance in spite of these obstacles. For those who are able to bring things like school supplies, sanitary health equipment for girls, appropriate used clothing, play games, and other items that can be donated to schools in these communities, we advise our clients to always pack with a purpose.

Preservation

For the sake of tourism, the quality of life, and the next generation, we at Monumental Expeditions and Safaris think that protecting our environment and wildlife heritage is essential. As a result, we are now actively involved in a variety of local, regional, and global conservation initiatives. In order to maintain biodiversity, conserve wildlife, and improve local communities, we mix gorilla trekking safaris with luxurious, eco-friendly, and exciting adventure and wildlife safaris.

Our Thought Process

Our name, Monumental Expeditions and Safaris, has its roots in ecotourism, and all of our concepts were developed around environmentally responsible methods that we strive to follow throughout our business operations.

Every day, Monumental Expeditions and Safaris aims to illustrate this principle in four different ways in each of the locations where we conduct business:

Choosing to collaborate with vendors who have adopted sustainable methods, such as eco-friendly campers and hotels.
We are always pleased to contribute back to the local communities by establishing community partnerships for socioeconomic programs in the fields of health, education, and conservation.
Collaborate with our clients to support the weak and in need, such as local community-aided schools and projects, baby care facilities, children’s orphanages, self-help women’s groups, and others.
Monumental Expeditions and Safaris provides travel packages that allow visitors to engage with locals and have fun in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. This is made possible by the local guides, who are skilled and informed about the area and who urge or convince our clients to treat our natural, cultural, and ancestral heritage with care and respect.

Every component of our supply networks reflects our sustainability policy:

Our clients are urged to show consideration for the local communities and environment when they travel to the destination. Additionally, we remind them of the conservation regulations of the destination we are booking for the client, which include protection of vulnerable communities’ human rights, cultural goods, endangered wild fauna and flora species, and the avoidance of child abuse, exploitation, and sexual abuse.
In order to educate the child, our clients can voluntarily fund our education charity effort.
Based on daily follow-ups and feedback from our clients, the operations team’s travel reports and satisfaction surveys are used to assess the caliber of our service.
We pledge to assist conservation initiatives and development programs that support and encourage the sustainable growth of the places we provide.
In order to benefit the community, our clients support regional producers and artists.
In order to fund research and the preservation of plants and animals, especially endemic and endangered species, we encourage people to visit natural national parks.
We support eco-lodges and other sustainable lodging options, the majority of which are accredited by the destination’s eco-tourism certificates; some are managed by the local population.
up accordance with their sustainability policy statements, we periodically check up on our destinations.
Our Internal Activities

By shutting off lights, laptops, fans, and other devices when not in use, we reduce the amount of energy we use.
Every piece of paper we use at work is recycled. Double-sided printing is the default setting on our printers, and we only print when absolutely required. Instead of printing pamphlets at fairs, we provide information online.
We encourage a work atmosphere that is secure, healthy, enjoyable, and inspiring. We encourage candid communication and self-assurance among our employees.
We encourage our employees to participate in training and educational initiatives that advance their careers and enhance the competitiveness of the business.
When needed, we use technological tools to increase our competitiveness and production.
Development of Tour Products:

We encourage the creation of new products based on sustainability policy declarations and innovation, particularly in the areas of fair trade travel and community-based tourism.

Volunteer with us

Volunteer trips to Africa, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania are arranged by Monumental Expeditions and Safaris. One of the greatest places in the world for volunteers who wish to assist vulnerable populations and local communities is Africa. Local communities in every place where we plan our trips face a variety of difficulties and require additional assistance from those who are willing to provide it. This assistance can be provided by donating different goods, lending skills like teaching or construction, or working closely with the local communities on a range of ongoing projects to accomplish long-term objectives.
