Experience a Life-Changing Journey with Our Solidarity Safari in Tanzania
At Ubuntu Safari and Tours, we believe travel should be more than just sightseeing. That’s why we offer a truly unique and powerful experience: the Solidarity Safari—a journey that combines the thrill of Tanzania’s iconic wildlife with the deep satisfaction of making a meaningful impact. Whether you’re a conscious traveler, an educator, a philanthropist, or simply someone seeking purposeful adventure, our solidarity tour allows you to engage with real communities, contribute to life-changing projects, and still enjoy the wonders of a classic African safari.
What Is a Solidarity Safari?
A Solidarity Safari, also known as a humanitarian safari, is a special type of tour designed for travelers who want to connect with local communities while exploring Tanzania’s most beautiful destinations. Unlike conventional safaris that focus only on wildlife, our solidarity safari adds a deeper human layer. You will visit real development projects supported by Ubuntu Safari and Tours—schools, women’s empowerment initiatives, health care centers, and sustainable farms—and witness firsthand how your presence and participation are making a difference.
This isn’t about charity from afar. It’s about traveling in solidarity, engaging directly with the people, stories, and dreams that shape Tanzania. Each guest on our Solidarity Safari becomes part of our mission to uplift communities through education, economic empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
Why Choose a Humanitarian Safari?
There are many ways to explore Tanzania, but choosing a humanitarian safari offers a more holistic and fulfilling experience. First, it allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: the beauty of Tanzania’s national parks and the rich cultural fabric of its communities. You’ll go on game drives in world-famous parks like Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater, while also taking time to visit local villages, community centers, and project sites that are funded and managed in part by Ubuntu Safari and Tours in partnership with the Jabungu Foundation.
Secondly, your travel investment directly contributes to real social change. In fact, 30% of the profits from each tour are reinvested into community projects, including school construction, scholarships, women’s training programs, permaculture farms, and local healthcare initiatives. This is what makes a solidarity tour a form of responsible and impactful travel—you’re not just observing; you’re participating in a movement for a better future.
A Deeper Connection to Culture and Community
One of the most beautiful aspects of our solidarity safari is the authentic connection it fosters between travelers and locals. You won’t just pass through villages—you’ll sit with people, share meals, hear their stories, and see the results of their hard work and resilience. You may visit a school where your tour helped fund classroom supplies, meet women running small businesses through microfinance programs, or walk through gardens created through permaculture training.
These moments are often the most memorable for our guests. They deepen your understanding of Tanzanian society, inspire empathy, and remind us of our shared humanity. Through these encounters, many travelers develop lasting relationships and even return to volunteer, support, or partner with the projects they visited.
What to Expect on a Solidarity Safari
Every solidarity tour is carefully customized based on your interests, travel goals, and available time. A typical itinerary blends several days of immersive community engagement with unforgettable wildlife experiences. You’ll travel in comfortable, private 4×4 safari vehicles with expert local guides, enjoy accommodations ranging from eco-lodges to camps, and participate in a mix of cultural tours and project visits.
Here’s what a sample itinerary may include:
-
Day 1–3: Wildlife game drives in Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks
-
Day 4: Visit to a local school and women’s cooperative supported by Ubuntu
-
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater exploration and meeting with community leaders
-
Day 6–7: Volunteer activity or cultural exchange program in a nearby village

Our tours are suitable for solo travelers, couples, student groups, families, and corporate teams seeking a meaningful way to give back while enjoying a world-class African adventure.
Ubuntu Safari’s Commitment to Sustainable Impact
At Ubuntu Safari and Tours, our name says it all: Ubuntu, a Southern African philosophy meaning “I am because we are.” This principle guides everything we do. We are deeply committed to responsible, community-driven tourism that creates mutual benefit for both visitors and hosts.
All of our solidarity safaris are designed in close collaboration with the Jabungu Foundation, our partner in community development. Together, we ensure that the funds from your trip are used ethically and transparently. From constructing school buildings to launching clean water programs, our shared mission is to empower people, preserve nature, and promote dignity.
You won’t just see a project—you’ll become part of its story.
Testimonials: Real Voices, Real Impact
Our past guests consistently describe the solidarity safari as “transformative,” “eye-opening,” and “the most rewarding trip of my life.” One traveler shared:
“I was able to visit Tarangire National Park, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater after my humanitarian mission. The tour was professional, comfortable, and deeply moving. I got to see lions, elephants, giraffes—and meet the very students and women whose lives our journey was supporting.”
These testimonials reflect what makes a solidarity safari so powerful: it’s not just a holiday—it’s a journey with heart, purpose, and legacy.
