GET INVOLVED
Get Involved
There are several ways individuals may choose to get involved while visiting Southern Africa. This could include, for example, a township tour by bike (which benefits the local community) to participating in a wildlife tagging project while on Safari. Here is a list of suggested activities.
Undertake a Phinda Impact Journey
Participants get to embark on a journey of discovery with this privately guided, 7-day small group set departure journey that aims to highlight conservation and community development activities, which underpin the &BEYOND ethos of “leaving the world a better place than we found it”.
Whilst traditional game drives are integral to this safari experience, it incorporates elements of our ranger training curriculum as well as selected conservation activities.
Participants are also introduced to the community surrounding &BEYOND Phinda Private Game Reserve and experience a day in the life of a school pupil.

Green Pop
Many travelers are becoming more and more conscious of the impact travel may have on the environment. One way to minimize impact is to plant trees as a carbon-off set. We recommend our travelers support initiatives like Green Pop.
Greenpop is an award-winning registered non-profit organisation headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa.
They work to restore ecosystems and empower environmental stewards through forest restoration, urban greening, food gardening, and environmental awareness projects across Sub- Saharan Africa. Founded in 2010, they have planted over 150,000 trees and inspired over 132,000 active citizens across South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, and Tanzania.
