Green Safaris Wins “Best Sustainability Practices 2025” at the Zambia CSR Awards

Sustainability isn’t a trend. It’s a commitment. And at the 2025 CSR Awards that commitment was recognised in a big way.

We are proud to share that Green Safaris has won the “Best Sustainability Practices 2025” award at the Zambia CSR Awards. This recognition isn’t just for us, it’s for everyone who believes in travel that gives back.

What makes this win even more special? We stood alongside Zambia’s biggest corporate players, all industries making waves in sustainability. The fact that a boutique eco-tourism company like ours was honoured next to these powerhouses shows just how vital responsible tourism has become.

A Night to Remember

The Zambia CSR Awards celebrates organisations that drive meaningful change through corporate social responsibility. And in a room filled with industry leaders, from banking to mining to infrastructure, winning this award was a powerful moment.

Representing Green Safaris at the event was Green Safaris’ Marketing Director Lauren Summers, who accepted the award on behalf of our entire team. From the guides who share their knowledge of the bush to the conservationists working tirelessly to protect wildlife, this achievement belongs to everyone who believes in the power of sustainable travel.

Sustainability: A Core Part of Who We Are

At Green Safaris, sustainability isn’t just a checkbox: it’s the foundation of everything we do. It’s in the silent hum of our electric safari vehicles, the shade of trees planted on Likoma Island, and the knowledge passed down in community-led education programs.

This award validates our belief that tourism can be more than just an escape—it can be a force for good.

How We Earned “Best Sustainability Practices 2025”

So, what does it take to stand out in a room full of Zambia’s biggest CSR champions? Here’s a glimpse into some of the initiatives that made this win possible:

1. Electric Safari Vehicles & Boats

We’re pioneers in eco-friendly safaris. Our electric game drive vehicles and silent safari boats allow guests to experience wildlife in near silence—without harming the environment. Fewer emissions, more magic.

2. Conservation Education & Community Upliftment

We believe the future of conservation lies in the hands of local communities. That’s why we fund education programs, support local schools, and provide scholarships, empowering the next generation to become conservation leaders.

3. Supporting Anti-Poaching Efforts

Protecting Zambia’s incredible wildlife is a responsibility we take seriously. Through the Green Safaris Conservation Foundation, we’ve helped deploy digital radio systems to assist anti-poaching units in Kafue National Park, improving real-time wildlife protection.

4. Sustainable Lodge Practices

From solar-powered lodges to plastic-free initiatives, we’ve built every Green Safaris property with sustainability in mind. Our goal? To leave the lightest footprint possible while delivering world-class experiences.

Why This Award Matters

We’ve always believed that travel should be about more than just incredible experiences; it should be about impact. This award proves that small, conscious choices can lead to big, tangible change.

But we’re not stopping here. This recognition fuels us to keep pushing boundaries, to be innovative, and to show that sustainable tourism is the future.

A Heartfelt Thank You

This award belongs to everyone who has been part of our journey: our dedicated team, our conservation partners, our local communities, and, of course, our incredible guests. Your belief in our mission makes all of this possible.
