Sustainable/Ethical Credentials

Madikwe Game Reserve is run as a three-way partnership between the state (represented by the Board),local communities and the private sector. 

The private sector develops and manages a variety of tourism developments and activities in the park. A portion of the revenue generated is paid to the Board in concession fees. These concession fees are used partly to maintain the conservation infrastructure and game stocks in the park, which underpin the private sector's investments and operations. 

A portion of the concession fees are also paid to local communities to help finance a variety of community-based development projects. In addition to community projects, local communities also benefit from jobs and business opportunities that are created both within and outside the park. This in turn further stimulates the local and regional economy.

Tuningi Safari Lodge is Fair Trade in Tourism South Africa Certified and so complies with all stipulations of that certification.
