Southern Africa takes the 'green' road

RCI South Africa and Serena Tourism Promotion Services South to East Africa are the latest Southern African companies to have joined the global eco-tourism classification system, Green Globe.
In keeping with the 'greening' of the region, Three Cities' Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, has initiated an anti-poaching unit in an effort to control the increasing problem of snaring mammals and the destruction of indigenous woodlands in areas surrounding the Falls.
The unit, under the leadership of the hotel's professional guide, Charles Brightman, will work closely with Zimbabwe's Department of National Parks and Wildlife.
The unit team currently constitutes three permanent staff members but hopes to increase it to eight in the near future.
