Steppes Travel
At Steppes Travel, we listen to what you want and create a personalised wildlife itinerary tailored just for you. While we know that you will want to see tigers in India, our itineraries are designed to give you access to the country’s most pristine wilderness in the hope that you will see a diverse range of wildlife. Our aim is to create a sustainable and immersive Indian wildlife experien...ce, working alongside local community tourism initiatives and supporting conservation.
Responsible Travel
Steppes is aware that the luxury of travel today can bring with it the unfortunate consequences of both over-tourism and leaving an unsustainable footprint on the destination. To this end, Steppes have created a sustainability framework which starts in the office and ends in the destination, with thoughts on the sustainability of every aspect of travel in between. We are proud that we keep sustainable and responsible travel at the heart of the company’s ethos and hopefully set a standard to which other tour operators aspire. The key to the new framework is threefold. An exciting tree-planting project around Scunthorpe (Britain’s most air-polluted city) with Woodland Trust starting to dig this Autumn 2019, knowing that trees will always be a sure way of reducing carbon dioxide in the air. Funding Nicolas Christen, a doctoral student in the small Plasma Group team studying nuclear fusion at Oxford University from September 2019, in the belief that we must continue to seek safe renewable energy solutions. Directly supporting 20 projects in girls’ education, women’s empowerment and wildlife conservation in the destinations we regularly visit, starting this Autumn 2019, in the knowledge that supporting these causes reduces poverty, environmental degradation and over-population.PHOTO GALLERY
