Travel Responsibly with Braun Travels & Trees4Travel
​
At Braun Travels, I believe that exploring the world should go hand in hand with protecting it. That’s why I'm excited to announce that I’ve partnered with Trees4Travel - a company dedicated to reducing the carbon footprint of travel!
​
For every client and trip booked through Braun Travels in 2025, I will plant a tree on your behalf. Together, we can help reforest our world - restoring ecosystems and biodiversity, and supporting local communities. Every tree is also backed up with a UN renewable energy project, helping to reduce emissions even further!

Current reforestaion in Mozambique​
​​​
​
​
Mozambique is home to extensive biodiversity and varying landscapes with forests at the core of its social, environmental and economic wellbeing. However more than 8 million hectare's of forest have been destroyed. Cyclones, floods, cutting down trees for firewood and charcoal, clearing large areas for farmland and commercial logging are the leading causes of deforestation in this area.

Current tree species being planted​
​​​
Bruguiera Gymnorhiza
This tree has the largest leaves, flowers, propagules, and lenticels of all Bruguiera species. The name Large-Leafed Orange Mangrove comes from the orange flowers and the large leaves that can reach up to 25cm in length. They grow about 20 to 25 degrees north and south of the equator in an area with subtropical to tropical climates. These conditions enable this evergreen tree to produce leaves and shoots during the whole year. The leaves have an elliptic shape, the upper side is smooth and dark green, the bottom is waxy and light green. Occasionally three or four leaves are formed simultaneously.
Rhizophora Mucronata
A slow-growing, evergreen tree growing up to 27 metres tall, with a bole 50 - 70 cm in diameter. The tree produces numerous stilt roots from the base. One seed is developed per fruit & starts to germinate when the fruit is still attached or hanging on the tree. The root (radicle) gradually protrudes from the fruit, at first like a green cigar, then grows into a rod-like structure. In this species, such a seedling root (hypocotyl) with a rough & warty surface may attain a considerable length (sometimes over 100 cm), the largest & longest in the genus.
Ceriops Tagal
A medium-sized tree growing to a height of 25 metres (80 ft) with a trunk diameter of up to 45 cm (18 in). The growth habit is columnar or multi-stemmed and the tree develops large buttress roots. The radiating anchor roots are sometimes exposed and may loop up in places. The bark is silvery-grey to orangeish-brown, smooth with occasional pustular lenticels.
