It seems like everyone’s going green these days, but how can you know which businesses are actually eco-friendly, and which are simply jumping on the eco/sustainable bandwagon? Many lodges and camps in and around national parks claim to be involved in conservation activities, and indeed many of them are – helping, for example, to support important practices such as anti-poaching measures.

The following tours, attractions and accommodation choices have all been selected by Lonely Planet authors because they demonstrate an active sustainable-tourism policy. Many are involved in conservation or environmental activism, some are owned and operated by local Zambians, and some are genuine cultural experiences, thereby helping to promote, maintain and preserve local identity and culture.

We want to keep developing our sustainable tourism content. If you think we’ve omitted some-one who should be listed here, or if you disagree with our choices, email us at www.lonelyplanet.com/feedback and set us straight for next time. For more information about sustainable tourism and Lonely Planet, see www.lonelyplanet.com/responsibletravel
