Or work helping to save the Great White Shark, a dolphin and marine conservation project, and a number of monkey and orphaned animal projects. You To Africa has it all. We offer over 40 programs in South Africa, allowing you the budget conscience traveller to decide. Also you can find cheaper overland tours, safari's to suit you and your budget. So stop being ripped off by European based companies and come directly to source, thus ensuring the vast majority of the costs you pay end up benefitting those most needy, our projects in Africa.

Just imagine! Then think You To Africa. Whatever it is your dream to do, one of our programs will suit you, your budget and your time committments. Swim with Dolphins, clear horrible traps out of the bushveld that bring so much suffering to our wildlife, bring love to an orphaned HIV baby, help teach children the necessary skills to get out of their poverty.
