Modern Slavery Statement

1. Our business and supply chain

We design and operate travel across Zimbabwe through a short, direct supply chain: lodges and camps, licensed professional guides, transfer operators and activity providers — the majority of whom we have known and worked with personally for years.

2. Where the risks sit

In tourism, modern-slavery risk concentrates in informal labour, recruitment fees, and sub-contracted services such as cleaning, portering and construction. Zimbabwe’s licensing regime for professional guides is one of the strictest in Africa, which reduces risk in guiding, but we stay alert across the chain.

3. What we do

• We work directly with suppliers, not through layers of brokers, and we visit the properties and operators we book.
• We pay suppliers fairly and on time — slavery risk rises where payment terms squeeze wages.
• We ask that no worker in our chain pays recruitment fees or surrenders identity documents.
• We favour long-term relationships where working conditions are visible to us.
• Any concern raised by a guest or staff member goes directly to the owner and is acted on.
