&BEYOND, OUR IMPACTCARE OF THE LAND | CARE OF THE WILDLIFE | CARE OF THE PEOPLE
A commitment to making a difference and to leave our world a better place, has been the cornerstone of &Be-yond’s ethos since our beginning in 1991. Providing guests with an exceptional travel experience is the pulse behind our conservation trilogy Care of the Land, Care of the People, and Care of the Wildlife.
A key factor in the maintaining of this 26-year long impact momentum has been
the fact that our model is self –funding, and is therefore not dependent on any
one donor or individual. Our offerings to your guests extends across the three
continents of Africa, South America and Asia. It brings to the table our 29 exquisite
African safari lodges and camps, the highly acclaimed new &Beyond Vira Vira in
Chile’s Lake District, our specialist travel planners who are at your disposal, and a
world of &Beyond expertise that will facilitate your guest’s journey from start
to finish.
We have established an intimate relationship with some of the world’s last
remaining unspoilt natural places and the communities that surround them,
resulting in our trademark rare, exclusive and extraordinary travel experiences.

Vision 2020 was established in 2015 to unite &Beyonders towards key focus areas under each of our
“care pillars.” It has increased our impact by establishing the necessary discipline and accountability
in measuring and reporting against our agreed goals for Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife and
Care of the People. Our Vision 2020 is best represented as follows...
1. REDUCING OUR DIRECT CARBON FOOTPRINT BY 8%
2. SUSTAINABLE USE OF WATER
3. ZERO PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES
CARE OF THE LAND
CARE OF THE WILDLIFE1. PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED LAND & MARINE SPECIES BY FOCUSING ON AT LEAST
3 ENDANGERED SPECIES
2. ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE WILDLIFE POPULATION TO MAINTAIN BIODIVERSITY, WHERE WE HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE LAND
3. SUPPORTING WILDLIFE CONSERVATION EDUCATION
CARE OF THE PEOPLE1. MAXIMISE OUR LOCALISED SHARED VALUE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH
ECONOMIC BENEFIT
2. MAXIMISE OUR LOCALISED SHARED VALUE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH CAPACITY BUILDING
3. MAXIMISE OUR LOCALISED SHARED VALUE OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH SOCIAL SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE:
In order to support our core impact-trilogy of Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife and Care of the People, with the pivotal element being the delivery of extraordinary guest experiences, we need to draw on the complementary skill bases of carefully selected partners to create platforms of profound change.
