Impact On
IMPACT ON is part of our commitment to help them succeed – a selection of local programs in Africa with successful track records of accomplishment. A portion of the proceeds from each of our safaris is set aside to support these IMPACT ON initiatives.
Some of our travelers may have the opportunity to meet some of these dedicated people and learn about the IMPACT ON projects that have inspired them. Although we never expect our travelers to help us in these efforts, they often do. We are grateful for the contributions of time, talent and money our travelers have given to help the people and wildlife of Africa.
