At the end of each expedition there will be an option for volunteers to embark on a cultural/adventure tour to local sights/areas of interest (i.e. wildlife safari in Kenya, ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Jerusalem/Dead Sea in Israel, jungle trekking in Uganda, etc.). These excursions vary in length, but are typically 2 or 3 days. Global Outreach Alliance is not a tourism company (we are a non-profit public charity organization); therefore, as an organization, we strictly do not engage in tourism activities or use donations/program fees to go towards tourism activities. However, given the holistic economic benefit responsible, eco-friendly tourism provides to the people and communities where we work, we are happy to assist in arranging optional excursions for our volunteers. These optional tours are facilitated by Umoja Adventure Travel, a Umoja Social Ventures LLC company, which operate excursions locally in each country we work--employing trained and qualified locals, contributing to direct, local economic benefit, and celebrating the beauty that exists in our world all while maintaining proper respect for local environment, culture and tradition.
