  Different Travel offers charity challenges with a difference.As well as the traditional charity fund raising challenge, such a trek or a long-distance cycle ride, we also include the opportunity to get involved with volunteer work on much needed community-based development projects in the developing world, thus raising funds for your chosen charity while giving something back to the community you are visiting.Our challenges include the classic charity challenges such as the Inca Trail and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and a few unusual adventures such as canoeing down the Zambezi River, trekking in the Himalayas in Nepal and hiking through the mysterious jungle of Borneo.All these departures offer the opportunity to get involved with community work on location.We can also organise bespoke trips anywhere in the world! From Romania to Mongolia, Russia to Java and South Africa to Brazil! Put us to the test and we will create a trip that suits your budget, dates, itinerary requirements and of course a trip that is as challenging (or relaxing!) as you like!We have links with projects all over the world, so if you are interested in including a particular type of project, let us know!We are an ATOL registered company and we work with charities, businesses, colleges and universities and individuals looking for an exciting way to see new places and combine travel with volunteer work.
