Biggestleaf Travel AFRICA
Biggestleaf Travel is leading the charge in sustainable tourism efforts, driven by a profound appreciation for the natural world and a commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. Partnering with a renowned carbon auditing group, Biggestleaf is pioneering guilt-free safaris for its clients, setting a new standard in eco-friendly travel across Southern and East Africa. The phase one rollout ensures that nights booked through Biggestleaf are carbon neutral for inbound clients, at no extra cost to them. Additionally, by being one of the first to transition its fleet of transfer vehicles servicing top Big Five reserves in South Africa to be carbon neutral, Biggestleaf further enhances its commitment to sustainability. Mindful of the pitfalls of greenwashing,
Biggestleaf has focused on supporting reforestation projects across Africa, contributing to carbon emission reduction, job creation and habitat restoration. Moreover, the company prioritises camps and lodges that invest in sustainable practices such as solar energy, grey-water systems and electric vehicles, while actively eliminating
single-use plastics and minimising imported supplies. These establishments also support local conservation initiatives, including anti-poaching efforts and wildlife trafficking prevention. Biggestleaf’s commitment to environmental
responsibility extends beyond its operations; it provided crucial funding for Eye of the Pangolin, a groundbreaking documentary shedding light on the plight of the world’s most-trafficked animal. Recognising the significant role of the safari
industry in providing employment and conserving endangered species across sub-Saharan Africa, Biggestleaf invests in initiatives to make its clients’ journeys as carbon-neutral or climate-positive as possible. With an eye towards the 2030 Climate Target Plan, the company plans to further expand its sustainable practices, ensuring that every safari adventure leaves a positive impact. Driven by CEO Robert Bernatzeder’s passion for
the environment and travel, the company has to date offset over 690 tons of carbon resulting from over 633,177 miles in road journeys and more than 2,160 bed nights of inbound travellers to Africa.
