Interview – Adumu Safaris Champions Maasai Rights and Equitable Tourism
David Ngoseck Mollel and Danielle Heard Mollel – co-founders of Adumu Safaris – want safari tourism to move beyond its colonial origins to truly benefit local people and wildlife. Rose Dykins finds out more about the community-led travel experiences they offer.
“The unfortunate fact of the matter is safari tourism has direct roots in colonialism. So, some of the big areas are exploitation of resources, the funnelling of profits out of the country and the denigration of local culture and voices.”
