Impact Travel

Our Mission

To use impact travel as a catalyst for change by creating immersive travel experiences for our customers and donating 50% of profits to support education and conservation initiatives in developing communities.

How we achieve our mission

1. We create immersive travel experiences by:

   1. Spending the time to intimately get to know the destinations we sell.
   2. Making it easy for our customers to explore off-the-beaten-track destinations, like Africa.
   3. Offering a personalised service where we make the time to get to know and listen to our customers, so we can incorporate our customers' wildest dreams into each hand-crafted itinerary, ensuring an unforgettable adventure each time.

2. We use tourism as a catalyst for change

   1. Donating 50% of our profits to support education and conservation initiatives in developing communities.
   2. Immersing our customers in authentic travel experiences that benefit them and the communities they visit.
   3. Creating a deeper connection and understanding of different cultures and traditions.
   4. Making it easy for our customers to donate and sponsor life-changing organisations they visit during their adventure.

Who we are

Adventure Out Loud are altruistic adventurers at heart — eager to help our customers explore the world's most exciting destinations — in the process making a positive impact in the communities they visit.

Our Values

At Adventure Out Loud, we stand for sustainable travel, social justice, and empowering disadvantaged communities. We use adventure tourism to drive social change by:

• Providing high-quality, culturally immersive travel experiences.
• Supporting educational initiatives for disadvantaged students.
• Promoting sustainable tourism practices & conservation.
• Encouraging travellers to become global citizens.

We use adventure tourism to:

Explore

Off-the-beaten-track and hard-to-reach places. Helping our customers fully immerse in nature, culture and charity experiences.

Educate

Disadvantaged students so that they can break-free from the cycle of poverty.

Empower

Local communities through direct investment, creation of jobs, promotion of sustainable tourism practices and conservation.

Why we donate 50% of our profits

Adventure Out Loud is a social enterprise. To us, that means putting the same emphasis on making a difference as making a profit. To prove it, we donate 50% of our profits to support education and conservation initiatives in the developing communities we visit.

We do this because:

1. We feel an obligation to make a difference in the world.
2. We believe education is one of the most effective, long-term solutions for alleviating poverty.
3. Reinvesting in the communities & ecosystems we visit creates more meaningful travel experiences for our customers; fostering a deeper connection to the lands, cultures, communities and charities they visit.

We love that our success directly translates into positive change. This commitment is a core value guiding our operations and purpose, and it allows our customers to make a real difference in the communities they visit every time they travel with Adventure Out Loud.
