(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 06, 2009 ) Denver, CO—Baobab Expeditions, recently named “one of the best outfitters on earth” by National Geographic Adventure magazine, offers a unique brand of conservation itineraries that offer travelers a close up look at how these notable conservation organizations work. On these expeditions, travelers have a chance to interact with these animals, learn about their natural habitats, and interact with the key people in the organizations who are trying to aid in conservation efforts. The key reason for the distinguished selection by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, AfriCat Foundation, and Save the Rhino is Baobab Expeditions' unique exploratory approach to discovery expeditions, coupled with their conviction to support both wildlife conservation and community organizations.

Dian Fossey Expeditions
These expeditions give travelers the opportunity to view gorillas in the wild and visit Fossey’s historical stomping grounds. Since Dian Fossey’s death, DFGFI has continued and expanded her pioneering work with endangered gorillas. In addition, DFGFI now operates programs for education, health, and economic development in local African communities. For more information about the Dian Fossey Expeditions, click here.

AfriCat Expeditions
Namibia is home to six large carnivore species: cheetah, leopard, lion, spotted hyena, brown hyena, and wild dog. The majority of these species are often in conflict with people as Namibia is largely a livestock and game farming community. The AfriCat Foundation was founded in 1992 to promote large carnivore conservation. The initial years concentrated mainly on animal welfare but today the organization has developed in all aspects of carnivore conservation. These expeditions give travelers the chance to travel to Africa to explore the inner workings of the AfriCat foundation. For more information, click here.

Save the Rhino Expeditions
Save the Rhino International is committed to ensuring the survival of the rhinoceros species in the wild. The charity works in close consultation with managers and communities in wildlife areas and provides direct support for rhino and community conservation projects in Africa and Asia. These expeditions give travelers the chance to visit Asia or Africa and learn more about how they can save the rhinos. For more information about Save the Rhinos, click here.

The goal of Baobab Expeditions is to provide unique insight into local cultures and wildlife, whereby creating a platform from which their guests can learn about the challenges involved with conservation. Facilitating the commercial exploitation of tourism to an optimal advantage for these groups is a key aspect of Baobab’s ethos. All conservation itineraries include accommodation, meals, and all activities.
