THE AFRICAN IVORY ROUTE
Accommodation Services in Polokwane

The African Ivory Route was established with the adventure traveler in mind. A selection of unique and off the beaten track destinations were therefore a more important consideration than ease of access. The smallness of these camps, which all have only 10 beds each, make them intimate and exclusive and allows for a very personalized experience, where camp schedules can be customized to suit guests’ preferences, and friendly staff attend to the needs of guests, who usually leave as friends and sure to return. The exquisite localities of theses camps, which are all in prime wildlife, wilderness and scenic areas, are probably their most outstanding defining characteristic. They afford the type of authentic, rustic yet comfortable, quality bush experience one do not expect to find at such affordable rates. All camps consist of five luxury en suite 2-bed tents on stilted wooden decks, with covered verandahs, and a thatched central kitchen and dining area and an outside braai place. The African Ivory Route is proud to announce that we have embarked on an exciting journey to improve environmental practises and awareness in and around our camps. In 2015 we have adopted the GreenLine Responsible Tourism Programme that has been developed to recognise and reward operators of smaller accommodation establishments that have committed their businesses to less environmentally harmful operating standards and to greater respect for the environment. It represents an independent sign of good environmental practice and gives you the traveller an assurance of added quality when planning your next trip. GreenLine has been developed from the South African National Responsible Tourism Standard (SANS1162) and the Heritage Environmental Rating Programme, Africa’s leading tourism-based environmental management initiative. Preventing pollution, reducing waste and ensuring wherever practical measures are implemented to protect and preserve natural habitats, flora and fauna. Reducing, reusing and recycling waste generated by the business as far as is practical. Considering the effect that our operations may have on the local community. Taking action to eliminate or reduce as far as practicable any potentially adverse environmental impacts. Promoting environmental awareness amongst our suppliers, contractors and partners by implementation of operational procedures. Seeking to work in partnership with the community by behaving in a confederate and socially responsible manner. Achieving sound environmental practices across the entire operation. Provide all employees with training and the resources required to meet all our environmental objectives. GreenLine is a division of the Heritage Environmental Management Company. Heritage will assist the African Ivory Route to meet the standards and the certification that we are aiming for.
