  • Safari and Ecotourism

    As animals, cultures and resources across the world have become more endangered, Safaris have focused more on balancing the experience of the traveler with the needs of the environment. Ecotourism, a style of travel that focuses on protecting and preserving the natural environment, is becoming a more popular way to travel.Wikipedia: Ecotourism
