LET US SHOW YOU

That we care

At Kamaroutes, we are passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences. But our commitment extends far beyond tourism. We believe in giving back to the communities that have helped us thrive. A portion of each confirmed booking goes to one of the programmes below:

Healing Leaves

We have partnered with Healing Leaves, an organization dedicated to empowering communities through entrepreneurship, job creation, education, and youth development. They also provide vital support to children affected by HIV/AIDS.

Healing Leaves collaborates with governments, NGOs, and local and international partners to make a lasting difference. Kamaroutes is proud to support their work, specifically by donating to their Toolkit program. These Toolkits create safe and nurturing spaces for children who have experienced trauma. The Toolkits are designed to help children cope with difficult emotions and memories. By stimulating their senses and allowing them to personalize the kits, children are empowered to find solace and begin healing.

Each One Teach One – Kliptown

Each One Teach One was established on the 18th of March 2014 as a Non-Profit Organization, with a vision to create a well-developed South Africa that is a better social cohesive society to fight illiteracy and poverty in the country. This vision is supported by the Youth-led team of office bearers who had built a good reputation in social enterprise for the past five years. Friends gathered to change the world started by changing their mind to actions daily.

Uitkoms home for girls

UITKOMS is a registered child and youth care centre located in Observatory, Johannesburg. The centre offers non-disccriminatory residential care, protection, development plans and counselling to abused, abandoned or otherwise neglected teenage girls.

Camwomen

Camwomen is a social programme focusing on women and girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. This initiative has supported orphan girls from rural area and also hosted events to promote cultural cohesion and charity brunches for some of the not-for-profits organisations we work with. Since its official creation, the Camwomen’s international funding programme has provided school fees, food and clothing for children in Southern and Western Africa.

And there is more

Apart from donating to charities, our team and partners also focus on sustainability, through uplifting and educating the youth and protecting the environment. Indeed, we believe sustainable travel is the main solution to the negative environmental and social issues mass tourism is causing.

  • Kamaroutes graduate programme: Kamaroutes trains and employs graduates (depending on their performance after their internship) . Because of the high unemployment rate and lack of opportunity in the country, it is difficult for final year students to find a structure to complete their training… which means they cannot graduate. We have put in place a programme which allows tourism students to complete their compulsory training within Kamaroutes. They get exposed to the activity of the tour operator and have enough experience to integrate the industry when they get their degree.

  • Quality, not quantity: Kamaroutes specialises in FIT tours and guided tours of 12 people or less and we strive by all means to reduce the impact our tours have on the environment. For instance, over the past 16 months, we have drastically reduced our guests plastic consumption during their stay, by providing reusable water bottles instead of single-use ones. We also prioritise small structures, family-owned accommodation where our guests can connect with locals and if they wish, help to improve the living conditions of the communities.
  • Respect and protection: Since 2019, Kamaroutes decided to no longer advertise or propose any tour including any “unacceptable” or unethical wildlife activities like performing animals, tactile interactions with infant animals, walking with predators or riding large mammals. In addition, we partner with lodges and game reserves with high conservation ethics.
