TRANSFRONTIER PARKS DESTINATIONS
COMMUNITY-OWNED LODGES IN SOUTH AFRICA
Working in Southern Africa’s Transfrontier Parks and adjacent areas, we are passionate about the development of a viable and sustainable tourism industry that balances the needs of the local community with those of nature.
TFPD was established to provide a service of operating Community-owned hospitality facilities in Transfrontier Parks and adjacent Conservation Areas, and partnership is what characterises the relationship between TFPD and the owning communities at our various destinations.
