African Adventure Travel - Custom Safari Company Explore Africa


	Fifteen years of operating safaris throughout the African continent has given EXPLORE an exceptional opportunity to help preserve wilderness, wildlife and traditional cultures. Our travelers are increasingly interested in making a difference while exploring the wonders of earth's most beautiful, wild places, and EXPLORE is dedicated to making that possible for them. Many of our travelers have made prior trips to Africa and desire to give something in return. This is seen in the form of helping to build schools, supporting local wildlife research projects, bringing clothing and toys for street children, volunteering at local orphanages or township projects, and countless other acts of generosity.

Carr Foundation for Human Rights/ Gorongosa National Park
Carr Foundation, a U.S. not-for-profit organization, has teamed with the Government of Mozambique to protect and restore the ecosystem of Gorongosa National Park and to develop an ecotourism industry to benefit local communities. In January 2008, the Foundation signed a 20-year contract with the Government to co-manage the Park. They are training a revitalized anti-poaching team, rebuilding park infrastructure, conducting biological monitoring including a large herbivore count, carnivore survey, fish survey and vegetation map as well as creating a permanent biological research center in the park that will not only advance scientific understanding but also provide education and employment opportunities to Mozambicans. The Carr Foundation and the GOM are working to improve the lives of people in the park's surrounding lands by creating employment in park jobs, funding schools and health clinics, and training local farmers in sustainable agriculture.
