We have left our hearts somewhere on the Serengeti
Plains and in the Masai Mara. We loved every
second we were there. Our love of nature and seeing
the animals and birds in their true environment is
something we will never forget. The thought of leaving
was unbearable.

Whether or not I saw a tiger was truly irrelevant

CARE OF THE LAND

Care of the Land embraces &Beyonds efficiency strategy, which

aims to minimise the companys physical footprint and the impact
that its operations have on the environment.
&Beyonds lodge business comprises less than 800 beds, yet it
has a positive impact on more than 9 million acres of wildlife land
and sustains the conversion of more than 500 000 acres from
livestock farming and hunting to photographic wildlife safaris.
&Beyond subscribes to strict land management techniques to
ensure that the wildlife areas it influences remain sustainable.
Returning Land to Conservation Use
&Beyonds first venture and the birthplace of the companys
conservation model, &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve was
created in 1990 with the purchase of 13 000 hectares of degraded
farmland near the coast of South Africas KwaZulu-Natal province.
Named Phinda after the Zulu word for the return, today this
protected area has grown to 23 000 hectares and is &Beyonds
flagship game reserve, with vast numbers of wildlife returned to
their natural habitat.
Understanding our impact
&Beyonds lodges are annually subjected to an intensive
sustainability audit to determine their environmental impact in
terms of water usage, electricity consumption, diesel and petrol
consumption, gas, paraffin and oil usage, firewood and charcoal
consumption and waste production and management. This allows
the company to determine lodge-specific strategies to reduce that
impact. Some examples of such initiatives are given below.
Environmentally conscious new designs
&Beyond believes in the concept of sustainable luxury and the
refurbishment and redesign of the companys lodges employs the
latest technology to ensure that our impact on the environment is
reduced as far as possible. When &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented
Camp in Kenya was extensively rebuilt in 2014, 183 square metres
(1 970 square feet) of solar panelling was installed, capable of
producing up to 9 400 litres (2 400 gallons) of hot water daily,
saving 40 000 litres (10 560 gallons) of diesel per annum, which
translates into a saving of 106 tons of CO.
A similar process was followed during the rebuilding of
&Beyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge in Botswana. The lodges
combined solar electricity and solar hot water systems produce in
excess of 200 000 Kwh of energy per year. This will save the lodge
67 000 litres of diesel per year, which translates into a carbon
footprint saving of 180 tons of CO, an amount that the lodge
would have had to plant 4 615 tree saplings to offset

Sustainability initiatives at existing lodges

Environmental initiatives have been introduced at the companys
existing lodges and camps. For example, the use of LED lights has
been rolled out at &Beyond Phinda Mountain Lodge, allowing the
lodge to save more than 80% on the electricity that is consumed
for lighting by the guest areas and suites.
The installation of a water bottling plant at the same lodge has
also greatly reduced the entire reserves carbon. By bottling water
on site and recycling the glass bottles, the Phinda team saves
643 kg of CO per month (7 716 kg per year), the saving on the
carbon footprint of the delivery truck that previously transported
the water.
Strict land management policies
&Beyond subscribes to strict land management techniques to
ensure that the wildlife areas that we influence remain sustainable.
A few of our most significant areas of focus include research
and monitoring, veld management, the removal of invasive alien
plants species, the conservation of threatened plants and the
implementation of soil conservation policies
Great Antarctic Ice Challenge
&Beyond has extended its core ethos of Care of the Land to our
planets oceans by sponsoring marine advocate and pioneering
swimmer Lewis Pugh in his Great Antarctic Ice Challenge, a series
of five record-breaking swims in the freezing Antarctic Ocean
to help save the Ross Sea from irreversible damage. A deep bay
situated in Antarcticas Southern Ocean, the Ross Sea is one of the
worlds most pristine marine ecosystems and is home to an array
of species found nowhere else on earth.
Pughs initiative is designed to focus the worlds attention on the
conservation of this body of water as a marine protected area
(MPA). The proposed Ross Sea MPA would cover an area of 1.35
million km (over half a million square miles) and is set to become
the largest protected area in the world, on land or on sea.
With two of &Beyonds lodges situated on tropical islands, the
company is committed to marine conservation and this is just
the latest of &Beyonds efforts to protect the worlds oceans.
These include the companys involvement in the formation of the
Mnemba Island Marine Conservation Area off Zanzibar, as well
the conservation and study of rare green turtles and coconut
crabs at &Beyond Mnemba Island. At &Beyond Benguerra Island
off Mozambique, the company supports the Dugong Emergency
Protection Project, which is aimed at ensuring the security of the
endangered dugong herds in the Bazaruto Archipelago.

CARE OF THE
WILDLIFE

CONSERVATION WINS
Beginning with the companys groundbreaking conservation
achievements during the restocking of Phinda Private Game
Reserve, &Beyond has continued to take part in a number of
conservation successes. The company has embarked on a variety
of pioneering conservation initiatives, both in Africa and beyond.
Some of its most comprehensive conservation victories are
described below.
Gaur translocation in India
&Beyond was at the forefront of the ground-breaking mass
translocation of 19 gaur (Indian bison) at Bandhavgarh National
Park in India, the first successful reversal of a local extinction by
means of the mass translocation of wild animals in the country.
A decade of leopard research
The MunYaWana Leopard Project, a collaboration between
&Beyond and Panthera, a USA-based philanthropic association
focused on the conservation of the worlds 37 species of wild
cats was conducted at &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve,
resulting in regulations for sustainable leopard trophy hunting
and a stricter system of permits for the control of problem
animals.
Aders duiker and suni
Breeding projects for the rare Aders duiker and endangered
suni are being run at &Beyond Mnemba Island, with the
population of Aders duiker tripling in eight years and more than
250 suni relocated off the island.

RHINOS WITHOUT BORDERS

Increasing at an alarming rate, poaching is at an all-time high in
Africa. The illegal trade in rhino horn has seen the number of these
magnificent creatures poached throughout Africa rise significantly
in recent years. In 2014, 1215 rhino were poached in South Africa
alone, up from 1 004 in 2013, 668 in 2012 and 448 in 2011. With
a rhino killed every seven hours, more of these African icons are
now being lost to poachers every year than are being born.
&Beyond believes that translocations are fundamental to securing
the ongoing survival of this endangered species. In 2013 the
company carried out the first ever private game reserve donation
of rhino to another country when it translocated six white rhino
from &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa to
Botswanas Okavango Delta, which has been proven as a safe and
successful rhino translocation habitat.
Following the success of this project, &Beyond has partnered with
Great Plains Conservation to translocate up to a further hundred
rhino from South Africa to Botswana in an initiative designed to
help counter the scourge of poaching and preserve this African
icon for future generations. Recently, enough funds were raised,
and the first batch of rhino were successfully translocated to a
safe haven in Botswana. Preparations are now being finalised for
the next batch to be moved and fundraising is ongoing for future
rhino translocations.
Funds towards this project can be donated on www.trevolta.com,
which allows donations of any amount from as little as USD 1.

CARE OF THE
PEOPLE

AFRICA FOUNDATION
&Beyond works closely with the communities surrounding the
wildlife areas where we operate, whether by interacting with
them as landlords or through community development initiatives
with its preferred social development partner, Africa Foundation.
Africa Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation with its
own board of trustees. It receives support and funding from Africa
Foundation (USA) and Africa Foundation (UK), as well as &Beyond,
&Beyonds guests and independent donors. By working with local
communities and not for them and by making wildlife truly benefit
the people of the land, long and trusting relationships have been
built up over the years between Africa Foundation, &Beyond and
the communities surrounding its reserves.
Africa Foundation Projects
Africa Foundation has been working with communities adjacent
to conservation areas for over 20 years and has completed
