Caring for Destination
Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:
For Swazi Trails, providing local skilled employment, encouraging the preservation of Swazi cultural history and ensuring support for small-scale local art and craft industries are key issues.
Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
Swazi Trails employ only local Swazi tour guides and drivers and are committed to providing local employment opportunities and training to school leavers. In terms of itinerary design, tours are purposefully directed to include the optimum mix of small and medium size enterprises, thus spreading the benefits of tourism as widely as possible.
Swazi Trails is a committed and regular participant in many local initiatives to preserve and develop the sustainability of local culture and customs. The company and its directors are active on various voluntary committees and development organisations.
This tour departs from the Swazi Trails office in Ezulwini. Free pick-up's are offered from nearby lodges and hotels, when logistically possible. Pick-up's and drop-off's further afield may attract an additional charge. All pick-up's must be specifically pre-arranged in advance by "Special Request".
