About this Trip

Jetset across the globe to the African continent and spend your expedition in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro. Quickly find yourself immersed in African culture and far off the beaten path as you find joy in service. Participate in construction projects at a small orphanage and nearby schools. Sponsor a water project for a community in need.  Distribute water filters donated by Water for Life.  Teach health education in collaboration with Days for Girls.  Participate in community outreach projects throughout your expedition including building a home for a single mother.

We also take time to enjoy a farm tour with the Chugga people, explore Moshi near Kilimanjaro, swim in the largest waterfall in Tanzania, relax in natural hot springs, and have an authentic Maasai experience. Check an African Safari off your bucket list as you spend time on game drives experiencing the wild animals of Africa in the NgoroNgoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park.  

Spend time at a wildlife sanctuary & luxury ecotourism resort to get up close and personal with some of Africa’s most beautiful animals. Bask in a once in a lifetime experience as you hand feed zebras and eat lunch with giraffes, gazelle, and elands. 

Hop on a quick flight to Zanzibar to celebrate your hard work as you spend time on a private island, swim with dolphins and turtles, explore Stone Town, feed hundred year old tortoises, and enjoy amazing seafood.
