Photos4Africa
What is it?
In a difficult time for the world, when many of us are stuck in isolation, it’s an incredible time to reflect and challenge ourselves, but we ask you to please remember us here in Africa.
We have started the campaign #Photos4Africa, where we have created content to showcase what a beautiful nation this is. From our majestic animals, awe-inspiring landscapes or happy, friendly people, we are offering this content to you for in return for donations.
In this time of great uncertainty, the travel and hospitality industries have essentially shut down. With a total ban on travel, many lodges are closing their doors for the first time and airlines stopping their flights. Whilst this is a necessary procedure to stop the spread of COVID-19 this is also devastating for our normally joyful industry.
With no money coming in, many staff have had to be laid off, put on part time or reduced salaries. Whilst we know this is happening globally, Africa is already a continent that suffers from poverty and this impact on our industry will have a devastating impact on wildlife populations as a result of wildlife conservation and community projects now not being funded by the bed night levies and park fees received through tourism.
How can I help?
It is going to be a tough year but we are in this together. So, if you can donate a little something, let us give a little something too, a cool picture of a lion to print and put on your wall, a thank you from one of the guides or simply some great karma, please do keep us in mind.
If there are any specific people, lodges, companies or national parks that you would like your donation to go to please make a clear note with your donation so that we can make sure it gets to exactly where it needs to go.
