Our Impact
Our Committment
At The Village Experience, travel inspires impact. We have implemented programs to tackle social justice issues such as access to education & healthcare, women’s empowerment, and sustainability in our communities. Every time you travel with TVE, we grant a donation to one of our partner communities in need. It is only through this unique relationship of responsible travel + philanthropy, that we have been to support communities in need.
Socially Responsible Tourism
Our responsible tourism programs focus on cultural education, community immersion, and adventure. They are designed to give the traveler a real, off-the-beaten path, village experience. We pride ourselves on creating tourism opportunities around the world that strive to uplift and empower the communities we visit. We are proud to support tourism across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Central America.
International Development
The Village Experience works to create philanthropic opportunities for our travelers in partnership with our community projects around the world. We believe in “Traveling with Heart”…that’s why we created The Village Cooperative, a 501(c)3 organization. Whether traveling with us to the community or supporting them through donations from a distance, you can make a difference in the lives of the people we work alongside every day.

What our clients say
The Village Experience is our favorite way to travel. We love getting to know the culture of the countries we visit and giving back along the way!
I’ve traveled with TVE in Kenya, Egypt, and Guatemala and always feel part of something great — traveling in a way that supports and empowers local projects.
Visiting Kenya, Guatemala, and Thailand with TVE has changed the way I think about being a traveler. The service projects and connecting to the community are always my favorite part.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that discovering TVE has been life-changing. I have traveled to countries in Africa, Asia and Central America that I never thought I would vist. I can trust that Kelly and team will organize a fabulous trip – thoughful and interesting itineraries, cool hotels and the best local guides, with a commitment to support small businesses and nonprofits.
I cherish each opportunity to be an integral part of a shared collective experience. When you travel to countries like Thailand, Egypt, Kenya, Guatemala, Morocco with @expthevillage you gain the insight from incredible local guides, visit and support fair trade artisan collectives, experience local culture first hand, sleep in comfy beds, AND find common ground in the basic goodness of people. It’s the trip of a lifetime, every time.
The Village Experience has given me the most incredible journeys across Kenya, India, Morocco, and Turkey. Each trip was meaningful, seamless, and truly unforgettable.
TVE makes traveling so effortless. They plan everything with care and attention to details, and every trip I have taken with them has been exceptional!
