Big Five Tours & Expeditions

Big Five Tours & Expeditions is a Certified B Corporation™!

We’re Proud to Join a Global Community of Businesses Committed to Balance and Purpose

 

So, what does that mean? In short, B Corps are companies that meet one of the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. It’s a certification given only after a tough, independent review of how a business treats its people, supports its community, protects the planet, and operates ethically.

For us, this isn’t just a title; it’s part of our DNA and a powerful validation of our founder Mahen’s vision, which will continue his legacy. His vision was to create travel experiences that make the world better, not just for travelers, but for the places and people we visit. Earning B Corp status proves that we’re living up to that vision. It certifies the work we’ve been doing for years, building systems, policies, and practices that truly reflect responsible travel at its best.

The journey to get here was both uncomfortable and invaluable. Imagine laying every financial record, business practice, and core structure bare, full and candid disclosure, placing yourself in the hands of an organization dedicated to testing your integrity and your social and economic responsibility. It was one of the hardest challenges we’ve ever faced. Taking a leap of faith, knowing that what this company has always stood for would be put under a microscope, meant no stone left unturned, no page unexamined. Much like sitting in a dentist’s chair, hearing the whir of a drill, you know it’s coming and it must be done. Over eight months, we rode a rollercoaster of twists, dips, and sharp turns, holding on tightly and trusting the buckle was secure, sitting by the edge of our seats.

How rare is this certification? Out of approximately 357 million businesses worldwide, fewer than 10,000 are Certified B Corporations, spanning 103 countries and 160 industries, and we can proudly say: We did it!

This recognition fuels our commitment to keep improving, keep innovating, and keep making a positive difference. And the work doesn’t stop here; B Corps must be recertified every three years to maintain this prestigious status. We welcome that challenge, knowing it will drive us to continue raising our own standards, and we hope our journey inspires others to follow.
