For over 2 decades, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts have been a committed organization to responsible tourism. They have hotels around the world that embody that mission statement. Their green partnership program has allowed them to continue their hotel growth with as little impact to the environment as possible. This green philosophy is now a part of their 50+ hotels and 23000 hotel rooms globally. Zimbali Coastal Resort has held a proud partnership with the Fairmont Group for a while now and embody all of their core values. The Zimbali Coastal Resort was developed with all the ethos that Fairmont associates itself with. The eco estate was developed with the existing wildlife and natural elements not being negatively affected. As a result of this, areas were sectioned off as conservation sites. These sites are protected by the Zimbali management. The natural wildlife of the area is also protected.  Traveling to Zimbali on Mango flights add to this green initiative because their fleet is fuel efficient. There are no walls and blockages within the estate so animals can roam around freely. As such, velvet monkeys, bush bucks and rare birds are frequently spotted on the grounds. Animals are further protected by the low speed of cars which is enforced on the estate. The animals are also protected by the provinces wildlife authorities. All buildings on the estate, both residential and commercial, maintain the strict guidelines of blending into the environment. The architecture inspiration is Asian/African inspired and seen throughout the estate. The Fairmont Zimbali hotels keep in accordance to this trend and also used much natural building materials during development. The Zimbali Coastal Resort and Fairmont Group share similar company directives which makes the partnership very successful.
