Customer Testimonials

• A Trust Worthy and Reliable United Kingdom based and Registered Company.

• The company has enjoyed a connection with Africa for over 50 years! This ensures a strong supplier chain and experience..

• Craft Zoo Follows a Strong Ethical Buying Policy, which includes:
  • Trading fairly by Paying our Crafts People on a Piece Rate Basis
• Paying A Fair Price for the Crafts we Purchase
• Making payments when we purchase the crafts and not after we have sold them
• Educating the Crafts People on better ways to produce he beautiful crafts e.g. using all raw materials to allow maximum usage
• Encouraging the use of sustainable raw materials by using waste woods where possible. The use of 'Good Wood' such as Jacaranda is also being promoted and encouraged. Jacaranda grows much faster than the usual hard woods that the crafts people are used to. This requires a different carving technique, which we are encouraging the crafts people to learn. At the same time we are still paying the crafts people the same amount per item as products made from hard woods such as Mahogany and Yellow wood.
• No Child Labour is used. However, children help their families in polishing, cleaning or packing of the products. This helps skills to be passed from generation to generation and at the same time it helps them develop their own creativity.
