Trips with a Purpose

Our Trips With A Purpose are a collection of safari itineraries that include a visit to, or an immersive, hands-on experience at a Positive Impact project supporting local communities, environmental work or wildlife conservation.

All safaris booked with Go2Africa contribute to raising funds for wildlife conservation, community development and restoration of the natural world via conservation levies paid when visiting national parks, game reserves and private conservancies. These fees are calculated into your safari with us. These Trips With A Purpose safaris include an additional financial contribution from Go2Africa towards specific Positive Impact projects.

If you’re looking to engage with local communities, actively participate in conservation activities to protect endangered wildlife, or get your hands into African soil planting trees, we have curated the perfect itineraries. Browse our recommended Trips With A Purpose below, or get in touch with one of our Africa Safari Experts to help you tailor-make an itinerary based on your travel wishes:
