Chelinda Camp

The Nyika plateau is unique. One giant, biodiverse, wild garden; with rolling green hills home to endless population of zebra, eland, roan, endemic birds, central Africa’s highest leopard density, serval cats and so much more. The plant life is a continuous source of awe as hundreds of vibrant flowers, including many orchids, explode into colour as the rains begin.

How it works

1

Choose the lifestyle level you wish to carbon compensate (travel, business, daily life).

2

Root to Fruit will calculate the level of carbon emitted during your chosen activities.

3

Based on your carbon emissions, Root to Fruit will calculate the number of trees needed to sequester the total emitted amount of carbon, thus offsetting your activities and leaving you carbon neutral.

4

You are invited to purchase the recommended number of trees, which will be raised in one of our dedicated tree nurseries in the northern region of Malawi.

5

Root to Fruit will take care of the rest! Your trees will be planted by trained community members and monitored throughout their growth, to ensure their survival.

6

Once planted, Root to Fruit will provide you with a certificate that includes the exact GPS coordinates of your trees. Check out the location of your trees online; or better yet, why not plan a trip to Malawi and enjoy this wonderful country while relaxing under the shade of your very own trees?

We look forward to
welcoming you...
