Community Learning Experiences

See Africa through the eyes of people who live there

Let an expert travel designer
plan your custom trip:












Meet families, students, and entrepreneurs in Africa

Experience Africa from a unique vantage point — that of the people who live and work there. Become more than just a tourist as you learn, work, and play alongside people and organizations doing incredible work in African communities.

Let us know your interests — wildlife, art, urban exploration, teaching and more — and we’ll match you up with a one-of-a-kind cultural experience in Africa.

Give back to the places and people you visit.

“For the second time in my life, I found inspiration whilst visiting Africa. This time it was in Uganda and Rwanda…. It was extraordinary and led to unimaginable personal growth; where I can connect with how strength works with gentleness in urban, rural, and wild places. I return with treasures of transcendent moments that nurture my soul and revive my purpose. Thank you.”
