They are drawn to these destinations by the rich indigenous cultures, cuisine, festivals, traditions, World Heritage Sites as well as pristine wilderness experiences found there. Our Commitment: 10% of Exquisite Safaris profit plus your loose change (tax deductible)is donated to our humanitarian projects worldwide. Your Commitment: Just one Morning or Afternoon Exquisite Safaris builds an authentic cultural introduction into each of our private, five star travel experiences which allows our clients to connect with the local communities as the guests of humanitarian outreach projects. This authentic cultural immersion creates a profound learning experience that changes perspectives. Connecting at the Heart The communities we visit appreciate how much the humanitarian project has improved their lives and welcomes the project's guests as friends. Teaching your Children about Philanthropy Affluent parents are teaching their children to value philanthropy, cultural experiences, and other personally enriching activities above material goods according to the Third Annual American Express Platinum Luxury Survey (2006). Ninety-one percent of responding parents indicated that they encourage their children to participate in charitable or philanthropic activities and almost two-thirds (62%) of children have donated a part of their own money to charity.
