  • How can I fly more sustainably from South Africa to Zimbabwe?

    There are numerous ways you can fly sustainably to Zimbabwe from South Africa.

Purchasing carbon offsets every time you fly is also a way you can fly sustainably, as the proceeds received from the sale of carbon offsets usually go towards funding projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases emitted by flights. Judging by the fact that these tips have proven effective, if you’re a fan of sustainable travel, you should put them into practice.
