Beyond the premier service and award-winning adventures that you have come to expect from us, Big Five honors the best practices of sustainable, socially responsible travel that promote cultural preservation, community integrity and conservation of our natural resources. Indeed, Big Five has committed to becoming fully sustainable in terms of product by 2016 in Africa, Asia, the Orient, Latin America and the South Pacific.
This is a natural evolution for a company that joined with other like-minded operators in Kenya in the early 1970s to develop a basic code of ethics that included bans on both smoking and harassment of animals on safari.
It should come as no surprise that in our 40th year, we are raising the bar with our 40 Ways to Sustainability campaign. The yearlong campaign will result in the development of a 40-point road map that we will add to those measures we already have in place. To learn more, please visit www.bigfive.com/40ways.
You may also spot a small green frog on many of our journeys, which indicates that the program includes sustainable elements.
Founded in 1973 in Nairobi, Kenya, Big Five has corporate headquarters in Stuart, Florida and a second location in Toronto Canada. We enrich lives through journeys that deliver style, substance, comfort and value. Each journey seeks to combine the thrill of personal discovery with the pleasure of experiencing the finest services on our thoughtfully planned, custom-designed itineraries. Contact us to see our mission statement in action.
