A heartwarming visit filled with insights, learning and laughter
Providing meaningful and sustainable support
Our relationship with our surrounding communities spans more than 40 years
Motivated by genuine care
Right from the start, Sabi Sabi has formed a close relationship with our neighbours. We genuinely want them to shine and lend our support by providing jobs on our reserve and procuring services from local businesses in addition to investing in education and development programmes.
Our dedicated Community Liaison Officer hails from the area, is passionate about helping others thrive, and understands the challenges villages face and how best to solve them. His role is to actively drive the projects we support and balance the art of giving a hand up instead of a handout.
Feel fulfilled by making a meaningful difference
Leave a piece of your heart in Africa
The community experiences are a paid-for activity and the funds raised are managed via our Sabi Sabi Foundation to make sure that it supports development programmes and projects that will directly benefit the long-term wellbeing of those who live in our neighbouring villages.
In addition to the fee for the experience, everyone is invited to donate to the Foundation, so that our neighbours can not only survive, but thrive.
