It is such a pleasure to help you experience this amazing continent in a manner that provides inspiration, awe, meaning, connection and joy.  Join us in living life, arms wide open!

Special Places

Ruaha National Park, Tanzania

Ready for a new safari destination? We LOVE Ruaha! The largest national park in Tanzania, Ruaha is Tanzania’s best kept secret. It has so many elements of what Global Sojourns’ values: It is wild and untrodden It has varied dramatic scenery Lots of baobabs! (so much fun to photograph!) Prolific and large variety of wildlife The largest elephant population found in any of Tanzania’s national parks Great predator viewing 580 species of birds

GS Giving Circle (GSGC): Empowering girls AND conserving wildlife

Many of you are aware of GSGC’s dynamic work in communities in Southern Africa, empowering girls and breaking the cycle of deep poverty. Some of these girls live in rural areas and are exposed to wildlife in a very different way than when ‘on a safari’. Often times, the reaction to wildlife is out of fear for their homes being destroyed, and fear for their lives. We work to bring awareness around conservation especially with populations growing and encroaching on these wildlife areas. Watch this 4 minute video to learn how we do this:

When traveling with Global Sojourns, you are helping to preserve land and wildlife and uplift communities.

Favorite Product

We highly recommend these Pack-It Specter Compression Cubes by Eagle Creek. They are super lightweight, help you keep your clothing organized and save space. They are especially great for packing in compact soft luggage when going on safari.

Gratitude

We are so grateful to Todd Connor for creating our new logo and website. Todd is not only a GS sojourner, GSGC supporter and talented designer, he is one of the kindest and most generous souls around. Check out his beautiful work at Yellow Plum Design . Africa touched his soul when he and his family went on safari in Zambia and visited our GSGC projects. He has been “giving back” generously with his time and talent ever since. Thank you Todd!
