Volunteer in Uganda Community Projects

Program Description

Africa Sustainable Tourism Care Foundation (ASTCF) is uniquely positioned to create tour experiences that blend outstanding wildlife viewing with the chances to see ASTCFs projects and learn about critical conservation issues from the local people.

As part of our mission to promote sustainable tourism, we developed alternative tour trips designed to connect travelers with local people and places for an authentic experience. Our independent trips maintain a focus on sustainable community-based development, conservation management, and cultural preservation ensuring that local people benefit from your trip by spending money in community of locally owned businesses.

Experience some of the most beautiful and remote places on Earth in unique ways, staying in villages that benefit directly from your presence. Experience the rural Ugandan lifestyle and share their cultural heritage.

Learn about the life of rural women as heads of households and custodians of traditions and indigenous knowledge. Their resilience and commitment to extended family and community have kept the African family intact through centuries of adversity.

Our tours are designed to give the travelers an experience that allows the travel to:
a) Travel in small group sizes (max. 10 people)
b) Support locally owned businesses
c) Interact with local communities
d) Connect with volunteer opportunities
e) Visit off the beaten track destinations.
