East African countries belong to the poorest in the world. In spite of that the interest to make money sometimes overrules the interest of the welfare of the people, even of those under ones protection. Scarcely any company takes care of the social security of its employees. Low wages, extended working hours without payment, hire and fire practices, bad accommodation, inadequate food during safari and working without contract are a daily occurrence and are treated as normal.
We do not take part in it!
For us at Steppe Dogs Adventures social acceptability is not only a word. It is of importance to us to ensure the social security of our employees. Our common standards include health insurance and observance of working hours.
In addition we insist on proper accommodation and food during safari for our driver guides. However, still we find ourselves mostly alone with these practices.
But: constant dripping wears away the stone – a beginning has been made!
