Make Travel Make A Difference
What if going on vacation was your way of giving back?
Travel Changes People...People Change The World.
Our Purpose
To create your perfect, immersive, fun journey, which uplifts you, and benefits the local people, places and wildlife you encounter.
Your Purpose
To explore, experience, engage, have fun, learn and recharge. To benefit the local people, places and wildlife you encounter.
Your Gift
Travel opens your eyes to a country's beauty, culture, and how the local people live — and with that comes a desire to help preserve it for future generations.
By choosing a Purposeful Travel journey which includes meals in locally-owned restaurants, overnights in local accommodation, and tours offered by companies that train and hire community members, you become part of a global community of proactive travelers dedicated to giving back. Your visit leaves a lasting impact — a legacy of compassion, connection, and care.
Travelers tell us that exposure to these local options greatly increased their sense of cultural immersion and connection. We thank you.
"We loved our day with these amazing Kenyan women, and will treasure these hand woven baskets they made, but we didn't know what to do with the chicken they gave us. Can you take a chicken on a plane?"
Our Mission
The team at Purposeful Travel believes that travel can be a win-win where both guest and host positively impact each others' lives.
We believe that every journey can have a positive impact. Our years of travel and experience in the tourism industry have inspired us to express gratitude for the incredible memories we've made with the people and wildlife of beautiful destinations. Our mission is to offer you fabulous journeys that not only enrich your life, but also support the communities you visit. With every trip you take, a donation goes towards rain water catchment system initiatives in East Africa; helping families gain access to this life-changing resource.
Join us in making a difference while exploring the world.
