Our Impact
Travel That Gives Back
At Good Earth Tours, we believe that travel should do good. When you embark on a safari with us, you’re not just experiencing Africa’s breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, you’re directly supporting community-driven initiatives and conservation efforts that make a lasting impact. Here’s how we’re giving back:
A cleaner city, a healthier future
Every spring, as Arusha emerges from the rainy season, our team joins forces with locals and volunteers for our annual street and stream cleanup. These temporary rivers that form during the rains carry debris through the city, polluting waterways and neighborhoods. By tackling these areas head-on, we’re not just clearing trash, we’re fostering a culture of responsibility, teamwork, and community pride.
This initiative has become a cherished tradition for our Arusha office, reminding us that small actions can make a big difference in protecting the environment we call home.
Creating brighter spaces for brighter futures
In January 2024, we partnered with a group of our incredible guests to bring change to St. Joseph’s Orphanage. With their help, we raised funds to renovate the orphanage’s dining area, creating a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming space for the children.
For us, this was more than just a project, it was a powerful moment of connection between our travelers and the communities they visit. Seeing the children’s faces light up as they sat down for a meal in their newly improved space was an unforgettable reminder of the impact travel can have beyond the safari.
Arte for Elephants
Elephants are intelligent, emotional, and deeply devoted to their families—but across the world, they face threats of habitat loss, exploitation, and extinction. That’s why we’ve partnered with Arte for Elephants (AFE), an initiative dedicated to supporting elephant conservation through art.
By selling unique, hand-crafted artwork from professional and amateur artists, AFE generates funds for organizations working to protect elephants worldwide. A portion of every sale goes directly to elephant conservation efforts, ensuring these magnificent animals have a safe future.
As a Good Earth traveler, you’re part of this mission. A portion of your safari cost helps fund these conservation efforts, so your adventure is not just unforgettable, it’s purpose-driven.
When you travel with Good Earth Tours®, you choose an eco-friendly holiday. You are also contributing to the sustainable development of the countries you visit.
