If tourism can benefit local communities and local people, then we have a win win situation that gurantees sustainability and prosperity. LES promotes purpose driven trourism covering project trips, mission trips.

Arranged homestays and student internships are also optimized for the benefit of the community visited. 

Home Stays

 LES arranges Rural Home Stays where Visitors stay in a village with accommodation being offered by a village community in their own homes. The visitor has an opportunity to stay with the family as one of the members and is therefore treated as a guest rather than a tourist. This gives them the opportunity to live the lives of others at a much more tangible level…..unlike flying over villages.

Student and Internship Trips

Students can enjoy affordable, tailored trips that serve them at their level of need. This could be an internship at the local village School, Health Center or Church. These tours provide an opportunity for the students to gain greater independence, skills, confidence and cultural awareness.

Service Trips

We also tailor trips for those who want a sense of adventure mixed with the desire to give back to the local community. These trips will include a section of touring and/ or trekking combined with a local project like helping build a local school classroom, Health Center, providing health care, or even sinking a local borehole for water provision. These undertakings benefit the local communities directly and result in positive changes.

Mission Trip

Leading Edge Safaris offers Mission trips to church groups that have proved very beneficial in many ways such as;

• Motivating members commitment to spiritual growth and development
• Providing a way for members to practice biblical teachings and obedience to God.
• Create excitement and vigor in church and the mission field.
• Effective way of reaching out to those in need.
• Develop exceptional skills and attitudes for members.
• Provide an avenue for raising funds for those in need.
