Coping with the 21st Century demands on sustainability and responsible tourism with elegance.
For the longest time ever, booking a trip meant going to some fancy hotels in a sophisticated place – that is what most tours sold to us. As the world modernized, and we began accessing such facilities at our places of living, there grew a need to re-innovate by the tour companies and even the newly established hotels needed to think through new experiences and modes of tourism presentation while, preserving luxury as a constant feature.
The level of interest in responsible travel has significantly increased. People are keen in taking care of the environment. Additionally, travelers yearn to connect with self, nature and people from different cultures.
With these insights, here at Steri Tours, we endeavor to meet the travelers’ needs by creating tours that revolve around people and nature. Our top priority is to provide excellent services and ensuring that the traveler and host community in the travel destinations are satisfied after the trip. At the same time, we are taking care of the environment – reducing our carbon footprint – without taking away luxury from the entire experience. Something that we describe here at Steri Tours as Barefoot Luxury. In simple terms, as a traveler, you get to enjoy a simple experience in a natural and comfortable surrounding with some elegance.
It is one of the best ways to take care of yourself, as it helps you get away from the fast-paced environment that everyday life demands from us. You also get to enjoy a set of new and unique experiences that the city does not offer.
The Presentation
Tented Luxury Camps have become the champions of barefoot luxury, not forgetting the retreat beaches too. The developers of such properties do so in the most secluded places, putting up temporary facilities that do not interfere with the natural environment set up. They then become ideal bases for exploring hidden gems that you could not even think existed.
For instance, Tulia Amboseli camp is an embodiment of barefoot luxury. Located in the middle of a conservancy in Amboseli which is already by far an experience of its own. Usually, all the amenities in these kinds of facilities are locally made and selectively picked to suit the experience being sold.
The experiences here are usually bundled with day and night game drives, guided bush walks, bush breakfast and sun downers, Balloon safaris and much more to be offered.
Tourism for impact
With the main goal being promoting sustainability, the facilities are eco-friendly to reduce carbon footprints. Additionally, as a traveler, you get to enjoy local experiences, interact with the local communities while getting services offered by the locals. You also purchase products made by the locals, among others things.
In brief?
Most of the time, we are caught up with life at work or even ensuring that our families are well taken care of. This makes us to forget to pause and breathe, find joy, be mesmerized and enjoy the little pleasures in our lives.
Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually should be your top priority. Only then you will be able to function optimally and give your best in whatever you do.
Try out the experience that barefoot luxury has to offer by doing getaways at the secluded beaches in Diani, Lamu or even Zanzibar. If the beach is not your thing, then try exploring the luxury tents in Samburu, Nanyuki, Amboseli, Tsavo and Mara among other top destinations curating barefoot luxury as an experience.
