Voluntourism!
Every year we highlight our newest safari programs and for 2010-2011, Voluntourism is the forefront of adventure travel and is seeing incredible growth across Africa! The opportunity to expand your horizons beyond a traditional safari experience and work hand-in-hand with local conservationists and communities is unforgettable.
These programs are exclusive to Africa Adventure Co. We know our continued business journey is “Supporting Africa”, exemplified by our sponsoring school students living in communities near parks as they are the next generation conserving their wildlife heritage. Join up for week-long, life-changing experiences. Perfect for college students, teachers, medical professionals and anyone with a love to help out.
