Philanthropy Tourism in Africa, Africa Orphans and Philanthropy Tours

Africa is a continent whereby many orphans have appeared due to HIV-AIDS and other diseases which have inflicted many African communities. The sickness has been caused by mostly poverty in both the rural and urban centers, in view of the same orphans have resurrected. Victoria Safaris is a tour company based in Africa which has developed this new tourism package as part and parcel of community tourism in to the African continent. The main purpose of this package is to take tourists in various parts of Africa, mostly east Africa which incorporates Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, and Tanzania.

The ideal concept of orphanage tourism is partially charity tourism as well as community based tourism for alleviation of poverty among the African poor communities. Victoria safaris tries to expose the poverty and the difficulty found within the African child, many orphans do not attend school while they languish within their rural set-ups and orphanages which are poorly managed due to lack of food, sanitation and housing. In view of the above concept Victoria safari develop this package for the local and foreign tourists to participate in the alleviation of poverty and misery among the African orphans. A child is having human right to go to school, feed and have a decent habitant, not to mention adequate sanitation facilities. Victoria safaris invites foreign and local tourists for visits into Africa orphanages and the African orphan children living in the rural and urban centers.
