Over 55 Countries to Explore

In less than two weeks, I`m leaving for Tanzania and Uganda on another safari adventure. This is my final call for my community`s help in reaching my goal.

For those who haven`t followed along, Uganda is a country I`ve long hoped to visit, and I didn`t want to experience its beauty without giving something back.

After my safari, I`m traveling to Tororo in Eastern Uganda to meet Smile Africa Ministries, a local organization that has supported more than 12,000 children since 1996. Together, we`re helping bring them reliable, nourishing meals.

Thank you to everyone who has donated already. If you`re unable to give, a simple share would mean just as much. Every contribution matters to me, to Smile Africa, and most importantly, to these children.

A few days ago, I was flying home from Malawi, watching the sun go down somewhere over Africa on my way to Addis Ababa. The tears came. I`m not afraid to admit it.

I went to Malawi to see and experience this country firsthand.

What I saw left me emotional. This is a country with very little. Resources are scarce, the government is broken, and there is not enough electricity and not enough clean water to go around.

And yet I was filled with an unexpected amount of inspiration and humility, because the people of Malawi are filled with joy. They are excited, welcoming, and proud of who they are.

Watching the light fade on that flight, I had to be honest with myself. Back home, in the routine of everyday life, I get caught up in wanting more and forgetting to be grateful. I knew this reality existed around the world. I clearly needed to be reminded.

I had so many feelings I couldn`t quite name. What I did know is that this trip happened for a reason.

Now I know what comes next. Andrew Burns Travel Co. will be hosting a Journeys By Andrew experience in Malawi, a true ABTC style trip. High quality accommodations, phenomenal guiding, and time for rest and relaxation on the water. Safari too. There will be a give back component built in, so you can see the villages, help the people, see the work of clean water firsthand, help plant trees, and help fund it all just by attending.

That day began 31 hours of travel home, with plenty of time to sit with all of it. I was thankful. I was excited. I was emotionally drained. And I chose to embrace all of it. Now that I`m home, those feelings haven`t faded. They turned into a plan.

If this moves you even a little, message me. I`ll be sharing dates and details soon, and I`d love for you to be part of it.
