Safari and hospitality property is held in regulated, listed REITs on two African exchanges. Experienced operators run the lodges, and a separate booking platform turns travel into conservation income.
A Development REIT builds and repositions assets. Once an asset proves its income, it transfers to an Income REIT, so investors in the Income REIT hold assets with an established income record.
Kenyan REITs are tax-transparent at fund level.
Holds the Namibia × Zimbabwe safari lodges in US dollars. 100% foreign ownership is permitted, there is no capital gains tax, and withholding tax for non-residents is reduced.
Lodges are operated by experienced hotel operators under management agreements; the booking platform sits outside the REITs.
Structure subject to regulatory approval.
Lodges and hotels are held in regulated, listed real estate investment trusts. A REIT may hold only property, so nothing else sits inside them.
Experienced hotel operators run each lodge under a management agreement, to an institutional standard.
The booking platform is a separate company that sits outside both REITs. It turns everyday travel into conservation funding and future safari stays.
Community conservancies receive a share of every booking and a levy from every lodge, from the first booking onwards.
The booking platform, Book Your Bucket List, lets members book everyday travel worldwide and earn points on every booking. Save-to-Safari turns those points and a monthly saving into a safari, with a match from the lodge.
The lodges gain direct, lower-cost room nights. The conservancies gain income from the first booking, not from the platform's eventual profits.
