At Where It All Began, we are dedicated to fostering responsible and ethical travel experiences. As a company operating in South Africa, we take a firm stand against child labour and modern-day slavery in all its forms.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. We are committed to ensuring that none of our business practices or partnerships involve child labour. We actively vet all our suppliers and partners to ensure that they uphold the highest standards of ethical employment practices, including the prohibition of child labour.
We take our commitment to Capricorn Primary School in Vrygrond very seriously and through our commitments there, we stay abreast of issues related to children and young people as they arise.
Modern-day slavery, including forced labour and human trafficking, is a grave injustice that we are resolutely opposed to. We work closely with our local partners and stakeholders to ensure that our operations are free from any form of modern slavery. Our commitment includes regularly reviewing our supply chain and practices to safeguard against any exploitative practices.
We encourage our travelers to join us in supporting ethical tourism by choosing to engage with services and businesses that align with these values. Together, we can contribute to a fairer and more just world, ensuring that every individual has the freedom and opportunity they deserve.
For any concerns or reports related to ethical practices, please contact us directly at contact information. Your vigilance and support are vital in helping us uphold these standards and make a positive impact in the communities we visit.

Where It All Began is committed to crafting active adventures that not only thrill but also preserve the natural wonders and cultural heritage of Southern Africa.
Our mission is to provide sustainable adventure travel experiences that connect travellers with off the beaten track experiences in this diverse region through cycling, hiking, sailing, diving, off-roading and other low-emission methods of travel.
Through responsible tourism practices, we aim to leave a positive impact on local communities and ecosystems, ensuring that future generations can continue to explore and cherish the places where it all began.
Our logo is an image of a skull found in the Rising Star Cave System in Gauteng, South Africa in 2013. It was named ‘homo naledi’, meaning ‘human of the stars’.
The cave system has so far given rise to the remains of over 15 individuals, making it the largest hominid fossil remains site ever discovered.
Travelling to Southern Africa is truly a return to the source of humankind, to Where It All Began.
