Animal Welfare Policy
Going on safari offers an unforgettable chance to see majestic wildlife in their natural habitats. To ensure these experiences are sustainable, we must prioritize animal protection.
Through our partnership with World Animal Protection, we are proud to support a tourism industry free from animal cruelty. Every wildlife experience offered by The Travel Corporation (TTC) and its brands follows TreadRight’s animal welfare policy, which is based on the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.

TIPS FOR PROTECTING WILDLIFE WHILE ON SAFARI
A small change to your phone and social media settings can make a big difference in safeguarding Africa’s wildlife.
WHY IT MATTERS
Did you know social media geo-tags can accidentally help poachers find endangered animals? When you share photos or videos with location data, you reveal their exact whereabouts, putting them at serious risk. By turning off geo-tagging before you post, you can help protect wildlife and preserve your safari memories.
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS
