3. WHAT DOES LUXURY MEAN IN AFRICA?
“Luxury for me is nature, untouched nature and slowly being introduced to its
complexities and delicacies by someone local, someone who understands
how fragile and precious nature is, someone that knows how important it is
to protect it while sharing it. Luxury is when I let go, because I know
everything has been taken care of and all I have to do is take it all in, into the
soul. Luxury is when other people's passion rub off on myself and I want to
become part of their family, their mission. Luxury is when I hide a tear when I
have to leave.... luxury is when I truly understand the beat of Mama Africa's
heart!” Ricus Delport, GM, Selous Safari Company

Wild & Luxury - mutually dependant in Africa
Tourism that enables conservation to happen - has to be for the greater good.
Preserve the “WILD” you need the “LUXURY” ….and the people willing to pay
for it

Safari
Africa has been pioneering in ecotourism.
Responsible tourism comes into its own on safari. Africa shows off the best of eco or green tourism spearheaded by responsible safari tour operators.
Community upliftment & conservation projects are something we have come to expect of African safari destinations, the luxury industry in particular sees giving back as a duty.
Tourism certainly offers employment, but unless communities have ownership and tourism pays its way, there is no incentive for marginal communities to support or protect it.
Tourism can have a lasting and positive legacy on the environment in which it operates.
Clients don’t just want a luxurious product or service. They want the brands that they are loyal to have some element of something they identify with from a value-driven point of view.

Patrick Mulondo, Ugandan Artist
Latitude people – Susie & katundu
Ambitious and complex partnerships the Katundu team working alongside local artists, and they in turn with the wider community.
Ugandan artist, Patrick Mulondo,
He also works with street kids who go and collect all the metal and then he pays them twice as much as they would selling to someone else. Very community focused.
Expressions of culture are abundant within Africa, with large amounts of cultural diversity being found not only across different countries but also within single countries.
