A Southern Africa volunteer holiday is a chance to make a difference. A Voluntourism holiday is a gift of time, which can change the world for an orphaned child, an animal in need or a family without a roof over their heads. The projects deliver tangible benefits to the community and the wildlife in Southern Africa, and give volunteers an incredible, rewarding experience at the same time.

Thompsons Africa provides unique packages allowing you to combine the classic sightseeing tours with charitable work. We believe that we can offer a unique opportunity to give back to communities, through which travellers from abroad have experienced a completely different way of life, a different culture and an unforgettable journey.

Thompsons Africa together with African Impact is proud to be associated with The Happy Africa Foundation. Included in your package price is a donation, which is made to the foundation to support the local communities and conservations based initiatives that operate at grass roots level. The Happy Africa Foundation strives to make a meaningful difference to Africa’s communities and wildlife.

Thompsons Africa are able to customise package requirements accordingly; depending on how long you wish to make a real difference, from a few days to 6 weeks or months; what destination you wish to visit, and what profession you to wish to assist – medical, education, conservation or construction. We are more than happy to tailor-make a once in a lifetime volunteering experience for you.
