Our Impact
WE BELIEVE IN A MORE RESPECTFUL, CONSCIOUS AND UPLIFTING WAY OF TRAVEL.
As both a travel company and a magazine, we see our role as not only curating transformative journeys but also using storytelling to inspire a more sustainable and inclusive tourism future. We are committed to enriching travel experiences while restoring natural ecosystems, fostering a green supply chain, and promoting biodiversity conservation to protect the beauty of the destinations we operate in.
Our social impact centers on empowering women and local communities, advancing equity and inclusion across the tourism value chain. Through our content and partnerships, we highlight women-led enterprises, promote cultural heritage, and champion the entrepreneurial spirit that drives resilient local economies.
Guided by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values and systems, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and ethical practice, ensuring that purpose and responsibility remain at the heart of every journey we design and every story we share.
Environment & Climate
At Nomad Africa, we’re dedicated to responsible travel that protects natural resources and supports climate action across our operations and experiences.
Highlights of our impact:
Winner of the 2024 Ecowarrior Award — Recognized by Ecotourism Kenya as the Leading Tour Operator in Responsible Tourism Practices.
Sustainable publishing — All issues of Nomad Magazine are printed on FSC-certified paper.
Carbon compensation — Offset 25 tons of carbon emissions through Stand for Trees, conserving 500 trees in the Kasigau Wildlife Sanctuary, a key migration corridor in Tsavo National Park.
Community impact — Supported 116,000+ community members through forest conservation–linked jobs and local economic development.
Carbon-neutral travel — Our integrated, carbon-neutral itineraries have already conserved 100 trees through client carbon offset contributions.
Women Empowerment
We are committed to advancing gender equality in tourism by ensuring decent, productive work and fair pay for all members of our team.
We actively support women’s growth in the industry through internship and upskilling opportunities, equipping women with the skills to thrive in hospitality and tourism. Through our platform, we also promote women-led and women-friendly travel experiences — such as Uganda’s Ride for a Woman — to expand women’s participation and visibility across the travel ecosystem.
Supply Chain Management
We believe in only working with the best partners, and having personal relationships with them to make sure our clients are always in the best hands. We commit to driving $500M of revenue to eco-friendly accommodations in East Africa and beyond. To achieve this, we strictly implement a sustainability checklist in our bookings SOP to ensure we prioritize booking eco-accredited hotels.
To extend this impact we also implement an internal partner checklist that vets ecofriendly suppliers like ground handlers, airlines and hotels so as to contribute towards our goal of promoting a green and responsible supply chain. So far, we have driven $200,000+ of revenue to eco-friendly accommodations and we aim to increase the number of Nomad’s eco-certified suppliers by 50% in 2025.
Community Engagement
We aim to build a strong community of 1 million sustainable and regenerative travel enthusiasts. In doing so, we recognize the fundamental role that host communities play in providing holistic tourism experiences, and promote off-season travel.
In addition, we publish 10,000 copies of our travel magazine quarterly to educate on responsible practices through our sustainability column.
