“Combining efforts in charitable activities brings people from all walks of life together to share their voice and work jointly for a greater impact in driving change”
As travel increasingly becomes more about the things money cannot buy – shared experiences and treasured memories – so many guests want to make a personal connection and positive contribution to the places they visit. We at Eye See Africa have identified a few organizations in conservation, health, education and culture, facing challenges in their respective communities. We would like to introduce civic-minded travelers to a few of the grassroots organizations in Africa. We will donate a percentage of your trip-spend with us to the charity of your choice and in this way make a difference in the places you visit.
GREENPOP
Greenpop is a social business which believes green and sustainable living can be fun, popular and accessible for all. They believe in inspiring a greener, more conscious and inclusive movement and do this through tree planting projects, green events, education, social media and volunteerism . Eye See Africa promises to donate a percentage of your trip to Greenpop, to plant a tree on your behalf in Africa.
UTHANDO
Uthando (Love) South Africa is a unique and innovative Non Profit and Fair Trade in Tourism accredited company. The aim of Uthando is to raise funds and other forms of assistance for community development projects in South Africa. One of Uthando’s projects, the Mdzananda Animal Clinic, helps to alleviate suffering and improve the lives of animals and their caregivers.
SA YES
In South Africa there are over 21,000 children living in 345 registered children’s homes. At 18 they are forced to leave when government funding ceases. There is no support system for them and a scarcity of alternative care programmes. SA Yes helps these young people to avoid problem and high-risk behaviour and to re-integrate into the community
DESERT LION CONSERVATION
Desert-adapted lions in Namibia occur mostly outside protected areas in the Kunene Region. Lions often prey on domestic livestock and farmers respond by shooting or poisoning them, in order to protect their livelihood. There is a need for sustainable use of lions for eco-tourism purposes, which provides tangible benefits to the communities, and for proactive management of human/lion conflicts.

Tertius Jordan, head of EyeSeeAfrica, had organized a fantastic trip for us in Namibia. We saw most of the highlights in much of Namibia, adapted to the 11 days we were there. There are some longer driving stages to get around, as the land is large. We had a super driver who was also a…
I had the privilege of traveling in Namibia and in Victoria Falls with EyeSeeAfrica. Most trips in Namibia are “self-drive” trips but my 3 girl friends and I had the privilege of having the CEO, Tertius Jordaan, with us as our guide and driver for 10 days in Namibia! We were his first Norwegian customers…
Just back from an incredible holiday in Uganda, organised by EyeSeeAfrica. A quick and easy flight from Cape Town to Entebbe (via Kigali), Uganda offered everything we could have wished for. Murchison Falls National Park is an unspoilt gem – very few tourists and an ABUNDANCE of wildlife in a spectacular setting on the Nile…
This was my second time with EyeSeeAfrica in Uganda and it was another incredible trip.

“I should have written this review soon after the trip I did with Eye See Africa in January 2016. This has to be the best organised trip I have ever been on. I toured Namibia, traveling over 4000km on a well planned safari. Tertius made sure that everything we wanted to do and way more…

“Just back from the holiday of a lifetime!! Namibia is a beautiful country – the scenery is spectacular, the animals are everywhere and the people are wonderful.
