Product description

Orbis Expeditions is deeply committed to environmental sustainability through immersive, hands-on experiences in Malawi. Their impact travel expeditions integrate eco-friendly practices, promoting a low-impact approach to tourism that benefits both travelers and the environment. Each trip is designed to highlight and support local environmental initiatives, such as reforestation projects, habitat conservation, and community-led waste reduction efforts. Through direct collaboration with local organizations, Orbis Expeditions empowers travelers to become active participants in environmental stewardship.

Participants not only explore Malawi’s breathtaking natural landscapes but also learn about the country’s environmental challenges and solutions. They’re encouraged to adopt sustainable travel practices, reduce waste, and support local green initiatives.
