Responsible by Design

Every SALTY Travel journey is built on partnerships that protect the people and landscapes that make Africa unforgettable — from the lodges we choose to the communities we work alongside.

COMMUNITY

Game drive with a Local

Locally-owned stays

We handpick lodges and camps owned and run by the communities who call these landscapes home, supporting fair wages, local jobs, and long-term stability over short-term profit.

CONSERVATION

Walking with nature

Conservation partnerships

We prefer establishments who follows fair business practices, including transparency and adherence to law, human rights and economic/social equity, and environmental and animal protection. Who also places high priority on sustainable practices, aiming at minimizing its effect on the surrounding environment and society.

SOURCING & WASTE

Farming

Ethical sourcing, less waste

From locally-sourced menus to active waste-reduction and recycling policies, our partner properties are chosen for how they treat the land — not just the view.

Lucy was fantastic when organising our recent holiday to Tanzania! She advised us on how to structure our trip, and made sure it fit our needs and budget. Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish, and she was always on hand to provide advice when we needed it. Highly recommend!

An unforgettable trip perfectly organized by Stephanie — everything went smoothly and we enjoyed every moment! Special thanks to our amazing guide in Cape Town Debbie and to Mike and Laura at Muweti for their warm and caring welcome. Unforgettable. We’ll definitely recommend Stephanie to our friends and relatives !
We had an absolutely fantastic safari with Salty Travel — a 5-day tour through Tanzania’s national parks. Our driver and guide, who accompanied us the entire way, was incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and patient. All the lodges we stayed at were of the highest standard, with friendly and helpful staff.
We would highly recommend Salty Travel to anyone looking to go on safari in Tanzania.

Traveling is wonderful.
To do it with a local that can show you their country with kindness, care, excitement and tonnes of interesting facts is a truly unique experience.

We were ever so fortunate to be paired with our guide Abrahm. He led us through the pearl of Africa and made us feel at home.

Everyday we had an unforgettable surprise! We were awestruck with this trip.

We've come back to Mexico itching to go back to Uganda.

Thank you for everything Ana María & Giovanni.

Stephanie and the team at Salty Travel put together an exceptional itinerary for our first trip to South Africa. She listened to our interests and priorities and created an experience that fit our travel style, budget, and timeline. We wanted a trip where we felt independent and flexible but had access to a local should we ever need help. Salty made that happen! From Cape Town to Lesotho to Kruger National Park, we experienced the diverse wonders that South Africa offers, and the Salty team was available at every step to answer questions, provide recommendations, and encourage us along the way. I'll for sure use them again next time I'm in southern Africa!

Very well organized trip. Everything went according to plan and took us to some of the beautiful places we wanted to visit. Some of the hotels were a bit more luxurious than we needed, but I understand we have to take some responsibility for that for not communicating that more clearly than we did.

The Salty Travel crew organized an absolutely fantastic once in a lifetime family trip for us to South Africa including 6 days on Safari. We loved every moment and had comments from locals what a fabulous itinerary we had. We really had a great look around South Africa for 3 weeks.
They were always super responsive before and during the trip.
Thanks Nadia, Lucy, Nadia and Jennifer.

Had an amazing time in Cape Town. Our guide Henrick was awesome, very knowledgeable about Cape Town and surrounding areas the history we learnt was incredibly informative and interesting, we felt very safe in his hands and had a lot of fun and laughs along the way. Stephanie was also incredible with helping us organise our tours. Stephanie was always available on WhatsApp to help and keep us updated with every thing we needed to know. Would highly recommend these guys if you plan on travelling to Cape Town.

My partner and I were put in touch with the SaltyTravel agency by RoughGuides portal for the Namibia trip we decided to take.
The service was perfect, after we provided the itinerary and an indicative budget Nadia and her colleagues at SaltyTravel took care of booking the lodges for the nights and the 4x4 we used for travel.
All the lodges booked were just perfect, beautiful and ideally located for our itinerary, the car rental company was very reliable and provided us with a Toyota Fortuner 4x4 that was up to the task of the challenging Namibian gravel roads.
Nadia was always very kind and quick to respond to us through the RoughGuides portal, changing the itinerary several times based on our requests and availability of facilities, given also the short notice available (reservations in April for August).
Once the details were finalized we were provided with detailed itinerary with lots of suggestions regarding places to visit and activities available, with also access to the TravelKey app (containing in offline form all trip information and booking documents).
We were in constant phone contact via Whatsapp group with Nadia, who repeatedly checked in with us about how the trip was going.
Because of the quality of service provided and the speed and kindness of the dedicated consultant, I would absolutely recommend SaltyTravel for anyone planning a trip to Namibia and Central and Southern Africa.
