Our Commitment to Responsible Tourism
Travel is more than just seeing new places, celebrating cultures and landscapes but also protecting them for generations to come. At Nomadic Tours, we recognise the impact tourism can have on local communities, the environment, and the welfare of animals. Sustainable travel is at the heart of everything we do.
We believe travel should empower, not exploit.
Camel Trekking on Our Tours
Camel trekking is a highlight of many of our Morocco tours and we’re proud to offer this experience in a way that puts both your safety and the welfare of the camels first. Working alongside SPANA and our trusted herder Ibrahim, we follow strict welfare guidelines so that this tradition can be enjoyed respectfully.
Here’s how we care for our camels:
- Camels are used for just one 1-hour ride per day
- They are free to roam outside trekking times, with full access to food and water
- No camels under 4 years old or in vulnerable health are used
- Each camel carries only one rider
- All tack and saddles are regularly checked for comfort and safety
- Camels are tethered only during rides, and always in the correct way
- Every camel is regularly examined by a vet
Animal Welfare
At Nomadic Tours, we believe every journey should respect the people, places – and animals – that make travel so enriching. We work closely with destination partners to ensure all animals involved in our tours receive the highest standard of care. By following ABTA animal welfare guidelines and collaborating with experts such as ANIMONDIAL. Following (but not limited to) ABTA guidelines, we ensure our practices protect animal welfare while encouraging our guests to travel responsibly.
We ask all travellers to join us in supporting ethical tourism by avoiding:
- Businesses that keep wild animals as pets
- Feeding or touching wild animals roaming free
- Activities that exploit animals for entertainment (snake charmers, chained monkeys, etc.)
Plastics & The Environment
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet today. At Nomadic Tours, we’re committed to reducing single-use plastics and finding practical, sustainable solutions that travellers can adopt on every journey.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Water-to-Go. Their reusable BPA-free bottles feature a unique 3-in-1 filtration system that removes up to 99% of microbiological contaminants. This means you can safely drink from almost any water source while travelling.
Nomadic customers also receive 25% off any Water-to-Go product.
