Vision and Values

Our work is driven by the core belief that all change starts with the self. Understanding and changing oneself is the first step towards understanding and influencing others – families, teams, organisations, communities, countries, and the wider world.

We believe in the power and potential of the ripple effect!

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.  Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” – Rumi

Our Vision:  More conscious, purposeful, and connected citizens of the world.
Our Mission:  To provide opportunities to reflect, reconnect, and rediscover.

Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu word often translated as “I am because we are.”  It is the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity. In the spirit of Ubuntu, we commit to:

  • Supporting public (state-owned) facilities
  • Partnering with locally-owned tour operators, guesthouses and restaurants
  • Using local suppliers
  • Buying locally-made products and merchandise
  • Engaging in animal encounters at sanctuaries that support animal rehabilitation
  • Minimising waste and conserving resources
  • Explicitly recognising and celebrating the wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise that exist within our local communities
  • Nurturing young talent
