Introducing Impact Travel With Sahara International

A new way to visit all the places on your bucket list! Impact travel is a form of more conscious travel focused not only on experiencing new places and cultures, but leaving a positive impact wherever you go. People achieve this in various ways such as contributing to local nonprofits, volunteering during their visits, or even just taking public transport to minimize carbon emissions! No step is too small to start making a difference.

Each trip you book with Sahara International has key impact focuses – offsetting carbon emissions produced by our travelers, contributing to local development, and partnering with companies & organizations who share our values. We work with reforestation organizations to plant enough trees every trip to completely offset our emissions. Every trip is also paired with specific nonprofit and/or impact projects which you contribute to through booking with us. 20% of every booking is donated to local organizations and part of your trip includes a visit to learn about their work and see how your funds are being used. Some projects we are currently contributing to include supporting the indigenous BriBri people build sustainable income and the development of local schools in Costa Rica. Sahara International also partners with hotels and tour provides who share our values towards sustainable travel. Learn more on our impact page!
