Ecospheres Africa is part of Ecospheres AB, a Swedish travel agency founded in 2009. The two entrepreneurs Tina Frisk and Ulrika Löfdahl met in Kenya in 2008, where both worked with the development of eco-destinations. From their common experiences of the travel industry, the idea of starting a travel agency together was born. The philosophy was, and still is, to offer unique travel experiences that leave a positive footprint on people, nature and culture - without sacrificing comfort and quality. An increased number of travellers see the benefits of greater responsibility for the development of local communities, and the protection of nature and culture, in connection with their journey.
We are hoping that you will do the same!
Ulrika Löfdahl, CEO & Owner
