Triptohelp has been awarded the top international World Travel Awards prize for responsible tourism in Africa, and is the only Global North company recognized for its impact on the ground through tourism.

Find Your Next Adventure

If you travel for unique experiences but you don’t want it to be at the expense of the planet or the well-being of local communities, you are in the right place.

Traveling helps us grow, gives us priceless memories, teaches us to be more tolerant, and allows us to realize how we are part of the natural world.

If travel gives us so much, isn’t it only fair that we give something back to the places we visit, their ecosystems and their communities?

Here, you’ll find sustainable, immersive and community-based travel experiences that respect local ecosystems and benefit the communities who call these places home.

At Trip to Help we create travel experiences with positive impact. Unforgettable adventures for you, with direct benefits for local communities, NGOs and sustainability projects on the ground.

WHAT IS REGENERATIVE TOURISM?

Traveling regeneratively means living experiences that look after:

  • The conservation of ecosystems and the proper use of the natural resources of each territory.
  • Local cultural heritage, traditions and ways of life.

  • A fair distribution of the benefits generated by tourism, ensuring that local communities are the main beneficiaries and supporting long-term, sustainable economic development.

 

 

Travel experiences

Go on safari in Tanzania and help support schools and medical centres. Stay with a Maasai family. Explore the Peruvian Amazon jungle with a member of the Yarina community. Encounter the chimpanzees of Gombe and stay where Jane Goodall once stayed.

No huge international chain hotels in front of the beach. No mass tourism. No guides who rely solely on tips to make a living. No activities designed simply for a photo opportunity before moving on.

We’re two travellers who believe there’s a better way to explore the world. Here, you’ll find authentic experiences that connect you with nature and the people who call each place home. Best of all, your trip will leave a positive impact that lasts long after your holiday is over.

We currently offer trips to Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Peru and Morocco.

A safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Trip to Help is much more than an adventure: it's traveling knowing that your contribution goes back to local communities through carefully selected NGOs. Our trip included 4 days in the Masai Mara and 9 days in Tanzania. Everything was impeccable: charming lodges, delicious food, and warm hospitality. We experienced unique moments like the Great Migration in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, lions in the trees in Tarangire, and a visit to community projects in Momella. Xavi kept track of our progress the entire time; from booking the lodges to saying goodbye, everything flowed smoothly. Our guides in both Kenya and Tanzania were exceptional: in-depth knowledge, constant humor, and total dedication. Thanks to them, we saw all the animals in unforgettable settings. Each lodge and experience connected us with the culture and nature in an authentic way. Trip to Help definitely offers a transformative safari, full of emotion and humanity, with a positive impact on the communities. An experience worth having!

We were in Kenya and Xavi was there for us the whole time, unlike many agencies that abandon you once you arrive. At the last minute, we decided to return by small plane and he took care of everything, even helping us find a flight to our next destination because none of the schedules worked for us. This is my second time in Kenya and the experience has been fantastic.

We took a 10-day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with our daughters, aged 16 and 19, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. It wasn't just a trip to see the landscapes, the animals, go on safari and enjoy the beaches of Zanzibar, but an experience of sustainable and supportive tourism. A particularly enriching trip to be able to see a reality so different from ours, share moments with local people and understand that traveling is also a way to learn, collect and contribute. Raquel made us feel very welcome and accompanied at all times, before and during the trip. It is clear that it is an agency that does its job with great professionalism, but also with sensitivity, commitment and respect for the country and the people. 100% recommended.

Incredible! Two couples went and it was unforgettable. We would definitely do it again. Xavi is a great organizer and William, the person in charge of the project, is delightful. A true Maasai, you can see things with him that no one else sees because of his vast experience. He knows where the animals are, what they do... everything! And the team that works with William is super caring, attentive, and charming! We would go back a thousand times!

When a few months ago, my partner and I decided that it was time to take one of the great trips of our lives, we were very clear about what kind of trip we wanted. We wanted respect, a positive impact, and a trip that was truly authentic, and without the big agencies and "tourist shows"... after a lot of research, we came across trip to help, and how lucky we were, thanks Raquel, to understand perfectly what kind of trip we were looking for and offer us the possibility of living this adventure. We spent 10 days in Tanzania, with local immersion, staying in villages far from tourism, connecting in a real way with their people, traditions and culture, safaris and more connection and knowledge with the Maasai, being able to know their reality, their day to day, an unforgettable experience. Seeing where your trip is going, contributing to social projects is definitely worth it. YUDA, our guide, has been very kind, he has taught us a lot, and we are sooo happy, also the chef Timo, a pleasure to meet. In short, a brutal trip, and well... from there we also take a magical moment, and a promise that will unite us for the rest of our days and that happened there... our wedding, was born in Tanzania, under the Meru, on the banks of the river and accompanied by incredible people.. THANK YOU without a doubt, a unique and very special way to travel, highly recommended, thank you very much Raquel for all the advice and support at all times, accompaniment and preparation of 10!!! thank you very much for making our trip a UNIQUE experience!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Trip to Help. It was so much more than a trip: we enjoyed the spectacular nature of Kenya and Tanzania, unforgettable encounters with wildlife, and above all, getting a close look at the inspiring work being done in local communities, with projects linked to education, healthcare, and sustainable development. We especially want to thank Raquel for her warmth, professionalism, and the care she puts into every detail. You can tell there's a lot of heart behind this project. We highly recommend this experience, whether you're traveling as a family, a couple, or with friends, for anyone looking to combine adventure, nature, learning, and a way of traveling that also makes a positive impact on the communities you visit. We're taking away memories and lessons that will last a lifetime. Lucia and Edu

Very satisfied with the experience we had with TRIP to HELP, with Xavi and Raquel. Despite not having a physical agency, they offer absolutely personalized attention, careful planning and excellent organization from start to finish and with an important component of social cooperation. Throughout the trip we had direct and constant contact, always making sure that everything went perfectly, which gave us great peace of mind. The safari was exceptional, but the most important thing was not what we saw, but what we lived. The emotions, experiences and shared moments go far beyond the magnificent photographs we took with us. It was not just a safari. It was THE SAFARI. Thank you, Xavi and Raquel, for turning a dream trip into an unforgettable experience.

A fantastic experience with Trip to Help, who not only takes care of tourists but also ensures that money goes where it needs to go in a country with many needs, and this detail made us choose them. We traveled with three children, ages 8, 10, and 12, and it was easy. We spent one week in Tanzania, visiting the projects of the NGO Trip to Help collaborates with, enjoying four safaris and a Maasai immersion experience, and then five days in Zanzibar. We were very well informed by Raquel, and throughout the trip, she made sure everything was perfect. All the accommodations were spectacular and unique, the food was delicious, and there were plenty of leftovers. The activities were very well organized; at no point did we feel lost or abandoned. We had a Spanish-speaking guide and driver, who felt like family within 10 minutes. And the staff at the accommodations took great care of us. We came back delighted; it was an incredible trip. Highly recommended. Thank you, Trip to Help.

This trip has given us so much more than unforgettable safaris. We've taken away the kindness and hospitality of its people, the privilege of seeing wild animals in their natural habitat, learning about Maasai culture, and gaining a deeper understanding of the realities of the African continent. It has also been incredibly special to witness firsthand how supporting local projects allows many children to attend school and helps women living in very difficult circumstances. If we had to summarize our trip to Tanzania and Kenya in two words, they would be "pole pole" and "hakuna matata": living calmly, enjoying the present, and approaching life differently. The dedication and enthusiasm with which the trip was organized are evident. Traveling in such an immersive way, supporting local projects, and experiencing the realities of the country has added a value to the trip that goes far beyond mere tourism.

We can only thank Trip to help for the opportunity we had to make this trip. We are still in the process of assimilating everything we have experienced these days that have exceeded the expectations we had. More than a trip, it has been an experience and we have loved being able to enjoy it with family. Our daughter's face every day has filled us with happiness... it was a trip initially thought more for us, because of the desire we had to do it, but now that we are back we see that we have enjoyed the trip even more just to see her happy and feel her emotions at every moment. We have known a fascinating country and culture, and everyone's treatment has been exceptional. We traveled to enjoy the experience of seeing animals in freedom, but we take home hearts full of unique experiences and having met people that we will remember forever. Thank you very much❤️❤️

It's hard to explain in four words everything we've experienced, and the emotion of preparing for this trip has fallen short of what we've felt these days... The doors to an Africa that doesn't appear on postcards have opened to us: the look of complicity when that animal you're waiting for appears, the sun dyeing the savannah at sunset, the guide's acceleration when the radio announces a new warning, the layers of clothing early in the morning, the endless dust, the picnics in the middle of nature, the humanity of the Maasai people, the sparkle in their eyes in schools, the naturalness of their smiles, the turquoise waters, the conversations without likes and the pole-pole life. There are trips that take you far. And there are others that make you come back different. Thank you Trip to Help for taking care of every detail. Thank you for making it easy. Thank you for making us live it. ♥️

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to Tanzania with our eleven-year-old son, having experienced moments that will surely accompany us forever. We enjoyed the landscapes, the animals in freedom, but above all its people, who at every moment gave us joy, wisdom and affection. What can I say about Trip to Help that the rest of the reviews haven't already said... We felt accompanied at all times by Raquel, from the first moment we knew that we were in good hands and that's how it was. We are very happy to have been able to live this experience and to have contributed a little to the different projects developed in the area being able to continue, helping so many and so many people. Thank you Trip to Help!

With Trip to Help, I found exactly what I was looking for: a family trip with authentic local immersion, far removed from conventional tourism (which offers very little benefit to the community), exploring the country with local guides, and ensuring our money went towards developing projects for disadvantaged populations. They made our dream a reality; it was the most special trip we've ever taken. Besides experiencing northern Tanzania through five safaris (each one different; the diverse ecosystems we encountered were incredible), we had the opportunity to meet the Meru and Maasai tribes up close. It was a significant culture shock, but incredibly enriching for us and our daughters. The work being done for the children in the area is wonderful, ensuring that education helps them thrive and broaden their horizons without losing their traditions. I wholeheartedly recommend Trip to Help's travel projects, their authentic destinations, and their two-way approach to tourism. We will undoubtedly remember the beautiful country of Tanzania and its people. Thank you for everything!

There are trips you enjoy while you're on them, and others you continue to enjoy long afterward. For us, Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar were among those that leave a lasting impression. Beyond the safaris, the animals, and the incredible places we visited, we were left with the thrill of discovering a different way of life, the warmth of the people, and the feeling of experiencing something truly special. Everything was perfectly organized, allowing us to focus solely on enjoying every moment. Each day brought us a new surprise, and we finished the trip feeling that it far exceeded our expectations. Thank you to Raquel for making this adventure possible. We're taking away unforgettable memories, countless stories to tell, and, above all, a desire to return someday.

We booked our honeymoon trip to Tanzania with Trip to Help, and it was undoubtedly the best decision we made. From our first meeting with Xavi, we knew it was the trip we had in mind: a safari, but with a focus on responsible, committed, sustainable tourism and cultural immersion. And once we were there, it was confirmed. It was a powerful experience in terms of culture, learning, and emotions, thanks to the local atmosphere and the explanations of our guides, Kelvin and Lucas. We highly recommend it, and we came back absolutely delighted.

Words can't express the amazing experience we had in the Merzouga desert thanks to Raquel and Xavi. The days we spent there truly transformed our trip. Three friends and I were able to travel locally, away from mass tourism, in a more responsible and human way. A special thank you to Raquel and Xavi, as we contacted them at the last minute and they did everything possible to make our trip happen. A million thanks!

We were clear that we didn't want to go to Kenya and Tanzania just because, we needed to do it feeling comfortable knowing that the footprint wouldn't be negative. Discovering Trip to Help was the key! Apart from making sure that part of our trip was for social purposes and contributing to the territory, Raquel and Xavi have adapted to us and have prepared a tailor-made trip for us, always advising us from their own experience. Both in the final preparations and during our stay there, they have always been available to us; this has made us feel very safe and comfortable. The truth is that everything has been very good and the trip has been unforgettable, we are very happy. It is clear that they enjoy doing their job, and the personalized one-to-one treatment characterizes them. We recommend them 100% and we hope to be able to travel with them again!

Why travel with TriptoHelp?

LOCAL COMMUNITIES

We work closely with local businesses, community projects, cooperatives and NGOs.They are part of our team, involved in decision-making and in shaping every experience. They are at the heart of every journey, not just there to act as guides.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

Your money doesn’t go to European tour operators or companies that only pay their guides when they work. We work with people who earn a fair living wage, and more than 80% of what you pay goes directly to local communities.

RESPECT FOR THE PLANET

Nature is at the heart of all our experiences, and sustainability guides everything we do. We take into account the specific circumstances of each region, aiming to conserve natural resources and use them responsibly while prioritising local development.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

We have personally experienced every trip we offer. As travel curators, we explore each destination and select authentic, responsible activities, working hand in hand with local communities and individuals to shape every detail.

What is not triptohelp?

We are not volunteer tourism

TripToHelp does not organise volunteering trips. By choosing one of our experiences, you’ll help improve local livelihoods and support community development projects through tourism.

We are not an ordinary travel agency

We are travelers, we discover places in the world to offer you unique and impactful experiences where you already plan to go. Travel on your own and include a Trip to Help plan in your route. We are a travel agency, but we do not organize your entire trip, we do not book your flights, nor do we book your accommodations outside of these experiences.

Nature, with benefits for local communities

All our experiences are connected to nature, but we don’t offer excursions or outdoor activities in isolation from local communities. For example, you won’t find a trek to Fitz Roy, but you will find opportunities to spend several days in a village in the Peruvian Amazon, getting to know the local community.

We do not work with European tour operators

Wherever you go, you will meet a local person, with his or her own project, or an employee of a company or NGO registered in the country in question. We do not work with western companies that simply rely on local guides.
