Animal Welfare Policy
At Kamaroutes, we are committed to protecting wildlife from the negative impacts of tourism activities. This policy outlines our principles and guidelines to ensure the conservation and welfare of wildlife in the destinations we operate. Access the list of tours we do not promote here.
1. Respect for Wildlife Habitats
We prioritize the protection of natural habitats and ecosystems where wildlife resides. Activities must not disrupt or damage these environments.
2. Prohibition of Harmful Interactions
Activities involving direct contact with wild animals, including feeding, riding, or touching, are strictly prohibited. Such interactions can disrupt natural behaviors and endanger the well-being of wildlife.
3. Responsible Viewing Practices
Wildlife viewing activities must be conducted responsibly, adhering to guidelines that minimize disturbance to animals. These include maintaining a safe distance, avoiding loud noises, and respecting designated viewing areas.
4. Educating Clients and Staff
We educate our clients and staff about the importance of wildlife conservation and responsible behaviour. This includes providing information on ethical wildlife interactions and the impact of tourism on wildlife habitats.
5. Collaboration with Local Authorities and Conservation Organizations
We collaborate with local authorities, wildlife experts, and conservation organizations to ensure our practices align with local regulations and conservation efforts.
6. Monitoring and Compliance
We monitor our operations to ensure compliance with this policy and take corrective actions if necessary. Suppliers and partners are expected to adhere to these guidelines as part of our commitment to wildlife protection.
7. Continuous Improvement
We continually review and update our policies and practices to incorporate advancements in wildlife conservation and sustainable tourism.
8. Reporting and Response Mechanisms
We provide mechanisms for reporting any concerns related to wildlife disturbance during our tours and take prompt action to address issues raised.
