CHOBE IMPACT

Philanthropy

At Ker & Downey Botswana, we are committed to providing guests the highest quality wildlife and adventure safari experience, whilst preserving the delicate environment and natural beauty of Botswana. We constantly strive to maintain standards of excellence within the industry whilst fostering economic and social development of the local communities and Botswana as a whole.

Our Ethos

Chobe Holdings Limited (Ker & Downey Botswana is a brand under the umbrealla of Chobe Holdings) believes in creating meaningful shared value through an integrated approach centred on investing in wildlife, investing in people and investing in Botswana. Guided by the principles of Botswana’s Vision 2036, we foster long-standing partnerships with communities, organisations and conservation initiatives that create sustainable and measurable impact for future generations. Through collaborations with initiatives such as Travel for Impact and other valued partners, we continue to amplify our contribution to society and the environments in which we operate.

Over the past year, Chobe has focused on strengthening and deepening relationships across all areas of impact — supporting the evolving needs of our core projects while laying the foundation for long-term, meaningful change within the communities and ecosystems connected to our operations.

In 2024, Chobe established Chobe Impact Limited, a Company Limited by Guarantee created to further enhance our investment in conservation, community development and sustainable growth across Botswana. While our primary areas of support remain the North West, Chobe and Central Districts — regions closely linked to our safari operations — our commitment extends nationally wherever support is needed and impactful.

Chobe Impact is dedicated to fostering sustainable development and positive transformation through collaboration with local communities, businesses and stakeholders. By addressing socio-economic challenges, supporting environmental conservation and creating opportunities for empowerment, the initiative seeks to deliver lasting benefits that strengthen both people and place across Botswana.

As a proudly Botswana-rooted company listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange, Chobe remains committed to responsible corporate citizenship, ethical business practices and broad-based participation within Botswana’s tourism and financial sectors. We are dedicated to ensuring that the value created through our operations continues to contribute directly to the long-term prosperity and sustainability of Botswana.
