Nominations for the Responsible Tourism Awards 2012 are now open and end on May 25th 2012! The Awards rest on a simple principle - that all types of tourism, from niche to mainstream, can and should be organised in a way that preserves, respects and benefits destinations and local people. You can vote for DRAKENSBERG ADVENTURES as Best tour operator for communicating responsible tourism and SANI LODGE BACKPACKERS as Best accommodation for the environment on www.responsibletourismawards.com Simone and Russell Suchet started Sani Lodge in the Drakensberg Mountains in 1992. In 1998, we started Drakensberg Adventures as a tour company attached to the lodge. Russell is author of “A Backpacker’s Guide to Lesotho” and we have used our extensive knowledge of the Drakensberg and Lesotho to set up a variety of excellent tours aimed at the backpacker seeking a trip with content! Our day tours have run successfully for many years, and recent years have seen the development of longer trips. These have been designed not only to give quality and value for money, but also to benefit communities and the national park areas in the countries we visit. Community tourism is about sustainable and environment-friendly practice, and we do our best to support these aims. Standard Sani Pass Day Tour Sehlabathebe National Park |
