Responsible Travel

We believe that our adventure holidays should respect and benefit local people and the environment in the countries in which we operate.

Whether it's Kenya, Kathmandu or Kota Kinabalu, we aim to minimise our impact on the environment and maximise respectful interaction with the local people and culture.

We ensure that the local community benefits financially
from our tours and that revenue is streamed directly into conserving wilderness and heritage.

For Gecko's travellers, it's about being culturally and environmentally sensitive in a way that gives you a deeper understanding of a place and its people - and guarantees
you'll have a fun and rewarding adventure.
