“Savvy individuals and forward thinking families realize that supporting a cause bigger than themselves is a powerful way to forge deeper familial bonds.
Interested in using their time together more wisely, our clients ask us to transcend traditional vacation planning and facilitate personal ‘aha moments‘ that launch engaged living legacies.
Travel is a tool in our ‘philanthropy workshop‘ that we use to help people apply their personal abilities to the greatest good.
We understand that transforming a ‘do-gooder’s inclination’ into ahigh impact philanthropist requires an artful and consultative approach. We excel at interweaving the traditional fun, excitement, and adventure of a ‘vacation,’ with opportunities for applied leadership, emotional maturity, and personal commitment.
We recommend they do so privately to insure family intimacy and the time to reflect on the joy of giving essential to the healthy development of self, family, and community.
FYI: Insights for Wise Humanitarian Action
Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel client’s time spent with partner NGO’s varies from as little as a day to an entire week. Our role as trusted philanthropy advisor is to determine how deeply the person or family wants to understand the current humanitarian/environmental issues, and then how they can best utilize their time and financial resources to deliver the greatest impact on the specific issues they decide to support.” -David Chamberlain

“Money is the voice of your commitment…. let’s use money -the thing that people think is so evil -to bring in the light, to transform the future. In a culture of the ‘runaway more,’ richer, thinner, smarter, better, there is no way to be satisfied. We have lost the meaning of ‘enough’ – from businesses, societies and communities, to the dinner table.
The ‘more is better’ mentality is becoming the nightmare that is killing the planet. We need a new relationship with ‘enough.’ In the culture of scarcity that is generated in our consumer culture, there is no moment of sufficiency.
We have to help people reclaim that.“ -Lynne Twist

Philanthropic
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) states that if responsible practices are in place, Philanthropic Travel is the natural interlocutor between the wealth and desires of the global traveler and the socio-economic needs of some of the world’s most remote, but heritage-rich communities, natural and cultural sites.
It’s vital to manage, through collaboration, the impact of tourism and the low-volume, high yield operators particularly in the luxury tier are in a unique position to deliver service and stability to world heritage. UNESCO sees responsible travel as a delicate balancing act. Tourism involves a series of trade-offs but, within an agreed framework of goals and limits and a climate of educational, respectful relationships, we have one of our most powerful tools for poverty reduction.
