The Orpen Kruger impact highlights

Tourism in the Kruger plays a pivotal role in preserving the natural environment, and contributing through conservation fees is an essential aspect of sustaining this ecosystem. The funds generated from these fees directly support wildlife protection initiatives, anti-poaching efforts, habitat restoration, and community engagement projects. By choosing to pay conservation fees, visitors actively participate in the long-term preservation of the Kruger's biodiversity, ensuring that future generations can continue to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of this iconic destination. These contributions aid in maintaining a delicate balance between tourism and conservation, fostering sustainable practices that safeguard the unique flora and fauna of the Kruger National Park and its surrounding areas.

The Orpen actively contributes to conservation efforts by supporting the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. Through organized tours and support, guests at The Orpen have the opportunity to engage with and contribute to the vital work undertaken by the rehabilitation center. Moholoholo plays a crucial role in rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured and orphaned wildlife, including many species indigenous to the Kruger region. The tours offered by The Orpen not only educate visitors about the challenges faced by local wildlife but also directly contribute to the funding needed for the rehabilitation center's operations. By participating in these tours, guests not only enjoy a unique and educational experience but also play a tangible role in the conservation of the region's biodiversity. This partnership exemplifies how responsible tourism can make a positive impact on local ecosystems and wildlife conservation.
