Mission Statement:
We deliver team based, experiential travel experiences across Africa, Asia or South America.
All our programs are designed to help protect the planet through dynamic volunteering projects while interweaving adventure to provide an ever-changing travel experience with contrasting challenges.
With our in-country leaders on hand, you are able to hit the ground running, exploring your new surroundings and contributing from the moment you arrive without having to worry about logistics.
You are not alone, you will travel with a team of like-minded, fun leapers who are all looking to have a good time and contribute to a mix of conservation and community projects.
Please note: All our programs will be risk assessed post covid-19 and we offer flexible bookings and a planning consultation while this phase of uncertainty is upon us.
