PURPOSEFUL TRAVEL
The trip in August 2023 was full of wonderful people. Some are past Purposeful Travelers, some are newcomers, but everyone is eager for the unforgettable Safi experience.
Everyone in Europe has the month of August off, so it was difficult to get reservations! But between Thad Peterson of Dorobo Safaris and Baraka Mosha and his-soon-to-be wife, Salome, we are all set!
Next trip will be end of Jan. - 1st two weeks of February, 2024 but Mary would like to know soon who wants to go in case we have to deal with booked up lodges.
Let me know. Mary Nelson, mdi09nelson@gmail.com or 360-701-9646.

Purposeful Travel with Safi is learning and giving, building and supporting relationships, evaluating and assessing new and ongoing projects and falling in love with Tanzania.
Airfare cost varies. We purchase group tickets via a travel agent to keep costs down - anticipate between $1800 and $2500 for flights. The best price is way in advance of the trip, so we ask that you budget for this at least six months prior to your travel date. Trips are usually 2 1/2 to 3 weeks and include opportunities for safaris at some of the beautiful game reserves and national parks in the country.
Total trip cost will be around $6000. This includes all lodging and transportation in Tanzania. Most of our meals are included except for a few lunches and snacks you may need to cover. You pay for soda, beer, wine, and personal shopping. Bottled water is included.
You can extend your Tanzania visit, on either end, to include Zanzibar, climb Kilimanjaro, or visit a remote Hadzabi tribe.

What is a trip like? In January/February 2020, seventeen intrepid travelers spent three weeks visiting many relevant organizations and cultural sites to better see and understand the current conditions and lives of the people that Safi School Project's mission serves. While there, the group also went on a fantastic safari adventure to see the great migration. A synopsis of the trip is posted on the Blog page.
