Responsible Travel to Africa
Campaigns
Every Step Counts
Our latest campaign, Every Step Counts, is a commitment to protecting one of Africa’s most extraordinary and endangered species. Every donation helps fund specialist camera traps that monitor rescued Temminck’s pangolins as they return to the wild.
his August, three members of the Ker & Downey Africa team will take on the Sabi Sand Trail Run in partnership with the OKOA Fund and the African Pangolin Working Group (APWG), with the goal of raising R60,000 to fund six camera traps. Every contribution will be matched by the OKOA Fund, doubling the impact.
When you support Every Step Counts, you’re helping conservationists follow the journey of rescued pangolins, giving them the best possible chance to survive, thrive and roam free once again.
Luxury Travel. With Purpose.
At Ker & Downey® Africa, we curate journeys that do more than move you – they move the needle for Africa’s people, wildlife, and wild places. To travel with us is to embrace Africa in its purest form: to connect deeply, tread lightly, and leave behind a legacy that endures.
We are not simply explorers; we are custodians. Every journey honors the land, uplifts communities, and safeguards the heritage of this extraordinary continent.
Our Commitment
Guided by a deep commitment to Africa, we protect the wild, empower its people, and craft journeys that leave an enduring legacy on the land we call home — ensuring that every adventure gives back to the continent that inspires it.
