Our Commitment
Conservation
Celebrating the wild. Defending it in print.
Our Editorial Stance
Travel journalism that does not ignore what it sees
Southern Africa is under pressure. Poaching, habitat fragmentation, climate change, and the slow erosion of community land rights are not abstract forces — they are present in every landscape we photograph and every camp we visit.
At TSA, we believe that a travel publication that fails to report honestly on the conservation reality of its subject matter is a brochure, not a magazine. We choose to be a magazine.
415,000
Hectares under conservation featured in our pages
From Gonarezhou to the Namib, we have documented landscapes totalling over 415,000 hectares — and advocated for the protection of every one of them.
What We Stand For
Our conservation pillars
🌿
Anti-Poaching
We partner with APU teams across the Greater Limpopo and Kavango-Zambezi corridors. Every issue features a community funded by TSA reader donations.
💧
Wetland Preservation
The Okavango and Zambezi systems sustain life for millions of animals and people. We advocate loudly for any policy or practice threatening their integrity.
🌍
Community Ownership
Conservation without community buy-in fails. We report on — and champion — models where local communities own and benefit directly from wildlife economies.
📸
Honest Journalism
We do not accept press trips that restrict editorial control. If we report on a lodge or initiative that falls short on conservation, we say so.
