Our Team in Malawi

Orbis Expeditions began in Malawi and still has a base there known as The Responsible Safari Company (RSC). Run by a group of inspirational Malawians the Malawi office works throughout the year with our linked community partners, supports Orbis in choosing the projects to work with and provides that vital local cultural insight to ensure the work we do is not only sustainable but empowering too. Learn more about RSC.

Sustainability

We are committed to supporting existing organisations that are registered within Malawi and work directly with local people and local government. Our brand manifesto empowers local Malawians by concentrating where possible on a Trade and not Aid model, education and not voyeurism and a culture of inclusivity that strives to promote global citizenship within our team, visiting groups and initiatives we work with.

Tourism- A Direct Economic Impact

During your time in Malawi you are directly impacting and supporting the local economy. The hotels you stay at, the drivers and guides that are with you, the activity providers and the communities you visit- each part of your Sport with a Purpose expedition is paid directly back to the provider of that service, creating local employment and promoting empowerment through business.
