African Explorer Gin:  Limited Edition Gin with Rare African Botanicals

African Explorer Gin is bursting with distinctive citrus and minty-cassis notes from African Buchu and grapefruit with a herbal botanical backbone and subtle notes of fresh ginger.

African Explorer Gin is best enjoyed as a G&T for sundowner times while mapping out a new adventure.

The eco glass bottle is 15% lighter, saving 60 tons worth of C02 per year, and uses 65% recycled glass.

Each bottle is decorated with a label containing a handwritten issue number and colourful traditional glass Maasai beads, all handmade by Maasai tribal women in Kenya, which can be repurposed into sunglass strings.

Through the newly established Elephant Gin Foundation, 15% of bottle profits from this limited edition will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and their work in protecting the critically endangered African Forest Elephant based in West and Central Africa. AWF began working in Cameroon in 2015 and has made a long-term commitment to protecting the wildlife and biodiversity in the Dja landscape.

Each bottle of African Explorer Gin is named Ya’a meaning elephant in the Cameroon Baka Language. The Baka people are the indigenous forest people in Cameroon. So as the original forest dwellers AWF is also working with them to tackle threats to wildlife in their forest home.
