Dare to Care
As we pass through this life, we have a responsibility to dare to live it. And as we travel through Africa, we have a duty to tread lightly, to take care of the land and the people on it. Dare to Care was launched in January 2016 with exactly this goal in mind; to constantly remind us to balance our enthusiasm for adventure which so often, literally is carefree with an attitude of care and compassion.
The charities we support are small, under the radar, sometimes where we have a personal connection, always where we can make a difference. Whether we provide uniforms for a school in Cape Town, or we adopt an elephant in Kenya, these projects allow us and our clients to become involved in the fabric of Africa.
ELEPHANT ADOPTION
In January 2016 dare to explore adopted Mwashoti , a curious and brave
