Our Commitment to Conservation

The main goal: to save and protect not just endangered species, but all wildlife!

It was the boundless love Charlie & Serena have for animals that led them to create EVERSEEN AFRICA.

It all began with their urgent desire to take concrete action to help the rhinos, victims of poaching. In 2017, rhino poaching for their horns escalated so drastically that, for a moment, South Africa feared losing all its rhinos. Thanks to exceptional people like Petronel from Care for Wild, Carmela from Insimbi Legacy Project, and many others, we were able to protect what remained.

Through their travels and social media campaigns, Charlie & Serena managed to donate 1 MILLION RAND to these organizations.

By traveling with us, you directly contribute to the conservation of species in Africa.

Tourism—or rather, conscious travelers, as we like to call our guests—actively helps protect all the animal species living in South Africa through what we call the conservation contribution, which is left directly at the lodges where guests stay. This is a daily per-person fee used to fund anti-poaching activities, animal care, and everything necessary to maintain wildlife in parks and reserves.

It is essential to give back to the savannah what it offers us during our safaris.

Dehorning is the practice of removing a rhino’s horn, carried out by professionals, to protect them from poachers. Over the past 10 years, researchers worldwide have tried to develop techniques and strategies to defend rhinos without invasive procedures. Unfortunately, results have been minimal, and even today, the only effective way to prevent poachers from killing them is to remove the horn before they can.

Teams of volunteers, veterinarians, and SANParks authorities work together to carry out this procedure with minimal stress for the animals. The process involves sedating the rhino, cutting the horn, and safely returning the animal to its feet. Everything must be completed in no more than 15 minutes per animal, otherwise internal organs may be affected.

If this is what it takes to save them, we will continue. And you—keep traveling, so that future generations can still witness these magnificent creatures in the wild.
