It goes without saying that we do our best for the trickle down of income to reach women-run businesses, both within the tourism industry as well as outside the tourism industry. We also feel it’s important to support projects who support us – KopeLion and their conservation efforts being a great example! Anyone who wants to go on safari can choose to learn more about the project – meet Ingela or other team-members, to learn more about their work to promote human-lion coexistence, in exchange for a donation that will continue to support this important program!
Listen and engage! Women are the glue that holds communities together. They often have the dreams, the ambitions and even the skills to get to where they want to go in life, but often it’s a lack of confidence that holds them back. Listening and engaging with the women who cross your paths, whether it’s a fellow passenger on a train trip through Europe, or its your waitress in a camp in the middle of the Serengeti, might give them that extra bit of confidence to get them to the finish line!
All it costs is a bit of a time, and an open mind, it’s a win- win!
