In today’s fast-paced world, travel offers a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and engage meaningfully with the world around us.
At Time + Tide, we believe in purposeful travel – where each journey not only brings discovery and adventure but also contributes to the well-being of the communities and environments we explore. This philosophy is at the heart of our operations in Zambia, where we invite our guests to be inspired by their travels, making a positive impact while enjoying unforgettable experiences.
Empowering conservation and education
Central to our ethos is the Time + Tide Foundation, dedicated to empowering conservation and education initiatives across Zambia. Through collaborations with local communities, we facilitate projects that promote environmental stewardship and wildlife preservation. Your journey with us directly contributes to these efforts, ensuring a legacy of sustainability for future generations.
A deeper connection
Immerse yourself in purposeful travel with us. Every adventure is an opportunity to discover not only the wonders of Zambia’s pristine landscapes but also the profound impact of community excursions. At Time + Tide Safaris, we believe in fostering meaningful connections. Our excursions extend beyond wildlife sightings; they embrace cultural immersion and community engagement.
Highlights of a Foundation excursion in the Lower Zambezi:
Home-Based Education
Through the Home-Based Education Programme, we help children with special needs gain independence and enrol in formal schools. Your excursion begins with a visit to a beneficiary family, where you’ll learn about the challenges they faced due to community stigmas and lack of knowledge. Thanks to trained volunteer caregivers, these children have made significant developmental strides, greatly improving their family’s quality of life.
Female Empowerment Programme
Next, we will visit Mugurameno Primary School to meet the girls in our Female Empowerment Programme. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 50:1, the school split pupils into morning and afternoon sessions to reduce class sizes, giving students less time in school. For girls at risk of failing, we designed an extracurricular programme to provide academic support, with a focus on English language and literacy, and to build their self-esteem. You’ll meet the girls at a local education centre and observe teaching techniques that help them improve academically and express themselves.
Mugurameno Farming Project
On your way back, you’ll visit farmers and their vegetable gardens along the Zambezi River. In 2019, the Time + Tide Foundation and Time + Tide Chongwe provided new seeds to help farmers expand their produce for the tourism industry. You’ll see where the fresh produce enjoyed in camp originates and learn how farmers manage the challenges of seasonal markets and wildlife!
Sustainable luxury – join us on a journey of purpose
Our commitment to sustainable practices extends to every aspect of your stay, from eco-friendly accommodations to responsible wildlife experiences. Embrace the present moment knowing that your journey not only enriches your soul but also preserves the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Zambia for years to come.
Step into a world where travel is more than just sightseeing – it’s a transformative experience that leaves a positive footprint. With Time + Tide Safaris, every adventure is an invitation to embrace the present and preserve the future. Together, let’s journey towards a sustainable tomorrow.
