Experience the Wild: Covington Travel’s Exclusive Safari & Conservation Adventures

For those who crave adventure, seek deeper connections with nature, and want to positively impact the world, Covington Travel is proud to introduce a new lineup of safari and conservation-focused travel experiences.

Led by expert travel advisor and passionate conservationist, Teri Baumgartner, these immersive journeys offer a unique opportunity to explore some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes while contributing to wildlife preservation efforts.

A Passion For Safari Adventures & Conservation

Teri’s love for adventure travel and wildlife conservation has taken her across the globe, with annual conservation trips to South Africa and Namibia.

Over the years, she has worked closely with conservationists, anti-poaching teams, and wildlife sanctuaries, gaining firsthand insight into the challenges and triumphs of preserving endangered species and fragile ecosystems.

Reflecting on her travels, Teri recalls some of her most memorable moments: tracking rhinos on foot, observing rehabilitated cheetahs released back into the wild, and working alongside local communities to promote sustainable coexistence with wildlife.

Her extensive experience makes her the perfect guide for travelers who want to embark on a safari adventure with purpose.

Safari Adventures: Journeys With Purpose

Covington Travel is committed to responsible tourism: ensuring that the safaris and conservation trips they offer benefit both travelers and the environments they visit. But what does responsible tourism mean in the context of a safari?

It’s about more than just observing wildlife; it’s about making conscious choices that respect and protect nature and local communities.

Key ethical considerations include:

• Visiting high-welfare wildlife sanctuaries that do not allow direct contact with animals.
• Avoiding attractions that offer opportunities to ride, touch, or take selfies with wild animals, as these practices often involve cruelty.
• Supporting tour operators and lodges that actively contribute to conservation and community development.

Teri ensures that every trip she hosts aligns with these principles, providing travelers with extraordinary experiences that leave a positive impact.

What Sets These Safaris Apart?

Covington Travel’s new safari itineraries go beyond traditional game drives. While guests will still experience the thrill of seeing the “Big Five” in their natural habitat, they will also have opportunities to participate in conservation activities.

Depending on the itinerary, travelers can experience:

• Visiting wildlife rehabilitation centers where orphaned or injured animals are cared for before being reintroduced into the wild.
• Meeting with anti-poaching units to learn about their efforts to protect endangered species.
• Taking guided bush walks to track wildlife using radio telemetry equipment.
• Assisting in hands-on conservation efforts, such as constructing protective barriers to prevent human-wildlife conflict.

These experiences provide a deeper and more meaningful connection to nature, making each journey unforgettable.

Who Should Join These Safaris?

These trips are designed for travelers who want more than a typical vacation. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a first-time safari-goer, there’s something for everyone!

These journeys are ideal for:

• Nature lovers who want to see wildlife in their natural habitat.
• Conservation-minded travelers who want to give back.
• Those seeking an authentic, non-commercialized travel experience.
• People looking for personal enrichment and a sense of purpose in their travels.

Exclusive Partnerships For A Deeper Impact

Covington Travel has partnered with renowned conservation organizations and expert local guides to ensure that each safari not only delivers an extraordinary experience but also supports long-term environmental sustainability.

These collaborations allow travelers to engage with leading conservationists and gain insights into the ongoing efforts to protect Africa’s incredible biodiversity.
