SUSTAINABILITY
We are always working to minimize our environmental impact and promote our cultural heritage.
As a company we strive to lower or offset our carbon footprint, treat our staff members in an equal and fair manner and to support local communities through our Tourism activities and leave this world a better place!
Our Carbon Footprint on every Safari matters to us ! We know that our resources on this planet are limited and that we need to protect the Biodiversity and incredible Wildlife we still have, at all costs !
At 4×4 Safaris, we are dedicated to making a difference, to lead by example and to ensure that you are part of our eco-friendly approach that supports our precious environment but also benefits local communities, that need to be preserved.

One of our favourite projects, which we recommend highly, is a visit to SHANGA. Shanga is a successful social enterprise which employs over 60 people, with disabilities to create unique, high-quality, handmade jewelry, glassware and home wares utilising recycled and sustainable materials where possible. These products are sold in Tanzania and all over the world, with profits being reinvested back into developing opportunities to employ more people with disabilities. Combining an uplifting local community project with unique artistic activities and opportunities to purchase handmade gifts, Shanga has been a favourite Arusha tourist destination since its inception in 2007. The Shanga Shop and workshop are based in the grounds of Arusha Coffee Lodge in Arusha, Tanzania. At this home of Shanga, their full range of products are available for purchase and order.
