How your adventure to Africa is changing lives!
Uthando (Love) South Africa
One of our primary partners in Africa is Uthando, a certified non-profit organization that creates a unique link between tourism and community development projects. These initiatives provide stability for the local population and create growth opportunities. For any of our travelers spending time in Cape Town, we are always happy to schedule a respectful, interesting, and entertaining philanthropic tour where you will have the opportunity to see Uthando in action!
Mulberry Mongoose
From their workshop in South Luangwa, Zambia, local craftswomen use snare wire recovered from poaching traps to create jewelry designs inspired by the African bush. Each jewelry purchase supports the courageous team and their families, and raises funds for local conservation efforts to protect Zambia’s breathtaking wildlife. Our travelers will each receive a piece of Mulberry Mongoose jewelry in their pre-departure package, and so by simply traveling with Exeter Safari Company you are contributing to this incredible organization.
Cheetah Conservation Fund
Founded in Namibia in 1990, Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) is dedicated to preserving and protecting Africa’s dwindling Cheetah population. Their mission is to be the internationally recognized center of excellence in the conservation of cheetahs and their ecosystems. Working with all stakeholders, CCF develops best practices in research, education, and land use to benefit all species, including people. By traveling with Exeter Safari Company, you are contributing to the conservation, research, and protection of this iconic species across Africa.
The Love Quilt Project
The Love Quilt Project raises funds to support the specific educational and emotional needs of at-risk children living in foster care in South Africa and the United States. Educational support can include tutoring, counseling, IT support, school fees & tuition, transportation and school supplies including uniforms, shoes, and books. We engage with children in both countries to create art squares containing messages of compassion, kindness, and love for children facing the challenges of foster care. The children embrace this opportunity to reach out to their peers dealing with the struggles of finding their way when their families become disrupted. Volunteer quilters from around the world stitch these messages into beautiful handmade quilts that are then given to each child we support. It is crucial to connect with these children and provide opportunities for them to thrive and change their lives.
