WHY BOOK WITH FOR RANGERS ADVENTURES?

You’re helping with the fight against poaching

ForRangers Adventures’ goal is to organise and sell holidays to Africa in order to generate profit that is then reinvested as funding through For Rangers. For Rangers is a charitable campaign run under the umbrella of Save The Rhino International. The For Rangers campaign provides funding for the welfare of wildlife rangers at the forefront of the fight against illegal poaching. Booking with ForRangers Adventures means you can book your holiday knowing that the profit is being used where it’s really needed to ensure a safe future of Africa’s wildlife.



You’ll be staying in accommodation that is also making a difference

When selecting properties to recommend to you we consider 2 things:

  1. Is it right for you?
  2. Are they making a difference?
We want to make sure that as much of what you are spending on your trip as possible is being used to make a positive impact. To achieve this we handpick properties that, like us, use their profits to benefit environmental or social causes. This includes a broad range of initiatives that focus largely one or more of the following:
  • Wildlife and habitat research
  • Relieving human/ wildlife conflict
  • Providing anti-poaching measures
  • Minimising carbon footprint
  • Local community employment
  • Youth development and education
  • Medical care for remote communities
We have included a “Conservation and Sustainability” section under each property so that you can see exactly what else your trip is supporting in addition to wildlife rangers through For Rangers.



It doesn’t cost any more to do so

When the idea of how we could turn travel profit into conservation funding was being formulated we knew that we didn’t want to make being conscientious about travel a luxury. We want everyone to be able to travel knowing that by doing so they are actually doing quite a lot of good. As a result, we stay competitively priced, we’ll even price match where we can if you find a cheaper like for like quote and still commit that same percentage of our profit to For Rangers.



We’re good at what we do

We have experience in selling holidays. Our managing director Charlie comes from a travel background and has arranged countless holidays to all over Africa working for some of the UK's top tour operators such as Cox and Kings, Kuoni and Exodus Travels. He’ll proudly tell you that he has averaged over 9/10 in customer satisfaction in every job he’s had. He also visits Africa multiple times each year to visit camps and lodges so that we know what we’re offering to our clients meets with our brand values. As we started out as a charity campaign, our brand’s original mission objectives are centred around support for wildlife rangers. That is who we are at our core, people who care and are trying to do what we can to make a difference. Our founder, Sam Taylor is at the forefront of wildlife conservation in East Africa on a daily basis. Together with a trustee group of passionate conservationists, Sam is responsible for distributing our committed profit into areas where it will make a real difference to the lives of wildlife rangers and ultimately Africa’s wildlife populations. We also invest in our staff and strive to enable them to pass on as much first-hand knowledge as we can. To achieve this our staff are in Africa more often than most. We know that having been there and having done it means that they’ll be more likely to know exactly what and where is right for you based on what you tell them.



We offer financial protection on your holiday

Holidays with ForRangers Adventures come with ATOL protection and full tour operator public liability insurance. For extra security for you following such uncertain times, all deposits are paid into a protected trust account with Protected Trust Service until 60 days before you travel. Please see our terms and conditions for more or contact one of our team if you have a question.



We can minimise your carbon footprint for you

We offer the chance to offset all travel by calculating the carbon emissions of your holiday and donating the necessary amounts to reforestation projects. We also carefully select the camps, lodges and hotels that we recommend to give you the opportunity to select properties committed to minimising the carbon footprint of your stay.



what holidays help conservation?

Whether you are seeking an immersive conservation experience, romantic honeymoon, eye-opening family safari, off-the-beaten-track adventure, cultural visit or beach escape we’d like to offer you a considerately curated itinerary for your holiday.

 

Whether you’re visiting Africa to see first-hand the important conservation work that is being carried out, lay on a beach with a delicious cocktail or anything in between – we offer the guarantee that we reinvest more of the cost of your holiday into conservation and sustainability than anyone else.

 

While any form of travel to Africa is something that we can make both an incredible experience for you and also beneficial to the natural world, we are also pioneering a new form of travel to Africa that will appeal to many animal lovers and conservation supporters. A concentrated For Rangers’ product portfolio of itineraries has been developed that include a range of immersive and educational safari holidays. These special interest itineraries include outings with working researchers and conservationists as well as your typical game viewing activities. We hope this will allow for greater insight into and a better understanding of the areas you visit, the animals that live there and the vital work that’s required.

 

To spend on your holiday responsibly and to ensure a safer future of Africa’s wildlife and people, book with us.
