"Living with the Maasai, taking part in pioneering work for widows and girls and touring the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar… as a travel-loving person with the desire to make a difference, my attention was well and truly caught.
...if you take the time to listen the same people will astound you with their strength and achievements, shake your hand warmly as you mangle their Maa greetings and chuckle as they dress you in their jewellery and try to teach you the traditional dance."
Micha Smith, Jeweller

It cleverly incorporated service to others, experiencing fascinating cultures, learning together, working hard and getting stuck in ..
It is an honour to have been involved in an organisation that is working from the grass roots…

Mina Shepherd, Teacher
"As a teacher and one who loves to learn and serve, I was very impressed with how much we learnt from and served the Maasai widows & children.
I feel that if Impact Travels continues with the learning and service trips, there will be even more improvements in the lives of widows and their children.
Thank you for helping make my once in a lifetime trip something I will remember with affection…
It was well organized, successful and enjoyable. ..I would thoroughly recommend the trip to others when planning a learning and service trip abroad… "

Our Expertise
Impact Travel Directors are well travelled and have always sought out the interesting and unusual. Their activism in human rights and equality has led them to work closely with a number of civil society organisations around the world. This close relationship with meaningful endeavours by noble hearted people who wish to make a positive impact on society means that we know the organisations we work with really well. We have not just chosen them out of the blue. We also have worked with them over a number of years and know their values and ethics. All of our business practices are aligned with our values and we make careful choices about all aspects of our learning and service opportunities. We have decades of experience in training and event organisation, bringing this to bear in the organisation of the trips. Each service project is suggested by the host organisation upon learning of the skills and expertise of the trip participants. It’s collaborative, inclusive – an opportunity to realise your full potential through service to others and personal development.
Safety First
The trip is fully managed for safety, by a valued-based company. Impact Travels personnel have enhanced DBS. Risk assessment, health and safety, and safeguarding measures are in place. Impact Travels has long experience in organising international trips.
