Reducing your
footprint
Our Commitment
Nelson Travel only exists and will continue to exist as a result of the stunning beauty of the natural world. Because of this, we are committed to helping preserve and protect it where we can, doing our bit to allow generations to come enjoy what each has before them.
From operating on a foundation of low impact, we have sought to help our clients travel responsibly - reducing the impact of your trip through our conscientious selection of green and low impact destination partners, providing and offsetting any emissions that could arise from your journey.

Our Offset Programme
Root to Fruit is a Malawi based social enterprise with a goal to give individuals and organisations the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint as well as to combat deforestation in Malawi. The project enables both the local environment and the communities’ lives to be improved by the benefits of trees.
We make it simple
Following your return from your holiday, we will estimate the total emissions from all elements booked by Nelson Travel, converting this to an allocation of trees to be planted by Root to Fruit in Malawi.
See for yourself
Compensating through Root to Fruit allows us to know where our compensation goes and that the effect is real. You will be issued a certificate with GPS coordinates for your trees, so if you happen to return to Malawi, you are more than welcome to visit them and see how your trees are doing.
Helping Malawi
The project not only offsets carbon but provides jobs and aids local communities. As the Malawi population increases, so does the demand for wood, so Root to Fruit plants an additional 30% of all trees purchased in order to provide community woodlots for household use, which will coppice after harvest, allowing the trees to regenerate. By providing access to woodlots, the number of indigenous trees immaturely harvested will decrease.
