Community Development Roadtrip

This specially designed and exclusively packaged expedition project combines the most ethical, innovative and inspiring community projects we have visited.

We believe in collaboration in the form of a connected community sharing successes and failures.

We believe in transparency in who we work with and our place in this collaboration.

We believe that as a social enterprise we are unique in our community partnerships and project spending. Our expeditions have a responsible travel ethos and include charity donations and several forms of community support, carbon offset via tree plantings and local business partnerships. Where your money goes is very important to us!

You can choose to go direct to any of our partnering projects, the cost is the same and the end result for those projects will be the same. However, by joining The EXPEDITION Project you join a collaborative network that focuses on building collaboration, transparency and responsible travel.

Dates: Enquire for availability

Join for anything from 2 to 6 weeks with airport pick-ups and drop-offs available. This expedition includes a never before packaged Community Partnership involving any number of our recommended exceptional community projects in South Africa.

Starting at £70 GBP / $100 USD / *R1455 ZAR (for 2021) per day (2 weeks minimum)

*Rate based on required South African Rand and therefore international currencies subject to change.
