Wildlife-friendly travel companies

The future of tourism is wildlife-friendly

By choosing travel companies that offer activities that don't exploit animals, you are helping to protect wildlife 

The travel companies listed here believe tourism can be a force for good—keeping wildlife in the wild, supporting human health and building an ethical and resilient travel industry.

Seeing wild animals when you're travelling can be an exciting experience. These companies know that tourists who love animals are often unaware of the suffering behind activities such as riding or bathing elephant, taking tiger selfies, walking with lions and swimming with dolphins. 

Together, we can protect wild animals and keep them wild. One by one. 

Their commitment

By partnering with World Animal Protection, these companies are helping to transition the travel industry toward a wildlife-friendly future. Each company commits to:

• End exploitative wildlife entertainment by reviewing their offerings and phasing out activities where wild animals are used for entertainment.
• Adopt and share an animal welfare policy with staff and customers.
• Offer responsible wildlife experiences where animals are free to exhibit natural behaviours in the wild or in genuine sanctuaries, viewed from a safe and respectful distance.
• Promote responsible tourism by educating customers to be wildlife-friendly travellers and advocates.

While long-term change takes time, we are committed to both supporting companies in achieving their commitments and holding them firmly accountable for their timelines and promises.
