Travel With Purpose
“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean or simply across the river. Walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food.” – Anthony Bourdain
Iconic Africa, together with our partner Wilderness Safaris has hand-crafted some unique “travel with a purpose” adventures for our valued clients.
Introducing the much-anticipated 2019 portfolio of four life-changing, ‘purposeful’ journeys – crafted to offer guests access to unique and privileged, behind-the-scenes conservation and community projects run by Wilderness Safaris and their partners.
Wilderness Safaris has been creating life-changing journeys such as these for more than 35 years, and their ‘purpose’ today is stronger than ever when it comes to sincere dedication to conserving and restoring Africa’s wilderness and wildlife.
“Wherever there are wild animals in the world, there is always an opportunity for caring, compassion and kindness.” ― Paul Oxton
Traveling with a purpose means a greater commitment to truly experiencing foreign lands, people and food than simply collecting a string of photographs or chaotically ticking off a mental bucket-list. These four journeys will let you be more present and take an active role in creating lasting memories that can never be forgotten.
Let travel change your life and others; let travel become a part of you. With Iconic Africa and Wilderness Safaris you can touch down in exotic locations whilst opening up so many doors and opportunities for yourself and local communities. Submerge yourself in something bigger this year. Wander off the beaten track, interact with indigenous tribes, and give back to wonderful projects so that the world can in turn give back to you.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience – Eleanor Roosevelt
