Fair Trade Tourism certifies the Pakamisa Lodge

update (20 March 2014): Contrary to a report in FTT's newsletter (Jan/Feb 2014) not the
Pakamisa Private Game Reserve got certified by Fair Trade Tourism but the Pakamisa Lodge inside the Pakamisa Private Game Reserve.

Fair Trade Tourism (FTT), a South African NGO that encourages and monitors fair and responsible practises in tourism establishments and activities, recently added the Pakamisa Private Game Reserve to the family of FTT-certified businesses.

According to FTT General Manager, Kathy Bergs, "Isabella and her team at Pakamisa have created a little piece of paradise on a mountain top in northern KZN. We encourage travellers to experience the best of both worlds – the ultimate Out of Africa experience combined with the knowledge that their stay is benefitting local communities and that the business is operated ethically and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner." via Fair Trade Tourism (FTT)

Pakamisa Private Game Reserve, located in Northern KwaZulu Natal, is a malaria-free 2 500-hectare bushveld estate. The Reserve offers horseback safaris for experienced and inexperienced riders, guided bush-walks and game drives, riding, mountain biking, clay target shooting, birding, swimming, fishing, cultural and botanical seminars.
