Meaningful Tour: The Southern Africa overland experience

Description: Be part of it with i-to-i!

So far we have achieved 325yrs which when broken down means we achieved the following:

- Over 5500 children cared for on our community projects around the world
- A minimum of 13,000 children and adults taught English in schools and community centres
- Hundreds of animals protected including Turtles, Pandas, Elephants, Monkeys and more
- At least 80 homes and structures built for families and communities in need
- More than 8000 trees planted which are enough trees to offset the CO2 emissions of over 2,000 cars

Want to see and do it all in Southern Africa?

Choosing which country to visit in Southern Africa is no easy task; do you go for the traditional cultures of Zambia, Botswana's big game or Namibia's river safaris? At last help is at hand on a tour which brings you everything. During the fun-packed 26 days you will enjoy camping in the bush, volunteering on local building and teaching projects, taking a game drive, white water rafting and visiting Victoria Falls. All of this makes the tour something worth writing home about. In Southern Africa everything seems multiplied; the animals are fiercer, the jeeps are tougher, the people are friendlier and distances are bigger. Taking a tour means not having to worry about arranging travel and the expert guides mean you don't have to worry about getting eaten by the animals!

"The river safari in Botswana, The Bunji jump and elephant back safari in Livingstone, meeting the amazing people in Mwandi village and completing our very own mudhouse for a poor lady in the village, and, of course, the spectacular Victoria Falls." (Catherine Watts)
