Sustainability
In line with the Fox family’s long-standing legacy of responsible tourism, their entire operations make use of a circular economy model to minimise their environmental impact, while maximising the sustainable use of natural resources. You can see much of this in action during a visit to Mufindi Highland Lodge, the epicentre of their operations. Their organic vegetable garden and working livestock farm supplies their properties with fresh produce, cheese and meat, alongside Arabica coffee and roasted macadamia nuts. What the Fox family don’t produce or supply themselves is sustainably sourced from their trusted suppliers in Dar es Salaam. Meanwhile, the Foxes Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust prioritises conservation and our commitment to community engagement.
Foxes Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust
We established the Foxes Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust in 2005 to support the local community in Mufindi District. Over the decades, The Trust continues to educate and teach life skills to youth, prioritise sustainability, and protect Tanzania’s flora and fauna.
Planting trees for carbon sequestration
We have planted more than 3.6 million trees across 9 000 acres of barren land since Foxes Safari Camps was founded more than four decades ago. This carbon dioxide sink absorbs up to 60 million kilograms of carbon dioxide each year.
Keeping it Local
Local employment is important to us. The majority of our employees come from local communities, with the opportunity to progress through the ranks. Our Trust teaches valuable life skills to youth in Mufindi District, while encouraging participation in income-generating projects for long-term self sufficiency.
Our Responsible Tourism Policy
We are guided by responsible tourism practices and sustainable development in everything we do. Foxes Safari Camps runs on a circular economy principle, uses renewable resources, protects Africa’s landscapes through conservation, while supporting local communities.
Friends of Ruaha Society
The Friends of Ruaha Society (FORS) was founded by Geoff Fox in 1984 with support from other Fox family members to conserve Ruaha National Park and the surrounding protected areas through environmental education programmes and income-generating projects. Today, our involvement continues in the form of the Foxes Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust.
