We identify local guides, artisans, chefs,
and locally-led businesses to support. Our travel packages also contribute directly to our nonprofit partners and include carbon offset credits in each of our travel packages to minimize
our carbon footprint.

Testimonals
My experience with The World Within Us traveling to Tanzania was life-changing. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat is breath-taking, the local community of Tanzania is soo welcoming, and the food was delicious!! It turned out to be MORE than I could ever imagine! I believe everyone should experience the joy that Tanzania gave me!
The World Within Us’ Egypt trip was an amazing! Everything was planned out meticulously so all I had to do was relax and enjoy all of the fun activities planned ahead for us! I love that the focus of the trips are to travel with purpose. It’s more than just a vacation, it’s a moving experience that allows you to travel the world, connect with different cultures, and broaden your perspective! If you’re looking for a meaningful way to vacation, this is the company for you!
The World Within Us made my first trip to Egypt so special. It was the perfect combination of local experiences, culture, and luxury. I tried things I had never tried before and lived my best life with the help of my amazing group of fellow travelers and our incredible local guide. It's a place I hope to show my family and friends, and it was all thanks to The World Within Us. I left with no regrets.
