TEEN TRAVEL PROGRAMS TO AFRICA

SUMMER PROGRAMS TO AFRICA

The Road Less Traveled offers teen travel summer programs in Africa that combine cultural immersion, outdoor adventure, and meaningful service. Designed for teens in grades 6 to 12, these programs range from 1 to 4 weeks and give participants the chance to explore the landscapes, traditions, and communities of one of the world’s most diverse continents.

Our Africa programs go far beyond traditional tourism. Teens travel in small groups, live simply, and engage with communities in authentic ways. From exploring vibrant cities and desert landscapes to participating in service projects, these trips are built around presence, respect, and real connection.

Why Choose a Teen Travel Program to Africa?

Africa offers an incredible range of opportunities for teens who want to learn, grow, and contribute. The region is known for its cultural depth, natural beauty, and iconic wildlife. For many teens, it becomes one of the most powerful travel experiences of their lives.

On an RLT Africa program, teens may:

• Participate in service projects alongside community partners

• Explore historic cities and UNESCO World Heritage sites

• Learn local traditions through food, music, and art

• Experience outdoor adventures, such as hiking, camel trekking, or camping under the stars

• Reflect on the connections between people, place, and culture

Each program is structured to balance service, cultural learning, and adventure, giving teens a full picture of life in the region.

What Makes Our Africa Programs Different

At RLT, we keep our groups small and intentional. Most programs include 12 to 14 teens, with experienced leaders who prioritize safety and group connection. Our focus is on creating meaningful experiences rather than surface-level tourism.

Teens who join our Africa trips can expect to:

• Step into authentic cultural exchange

• Take part in service that supports local communities

• Build confidence and independence through group adventure

• Return home with a broader worldview and a stronger sense of self

No prior travel experience is required—just curiosity and openness.

Do You Offer Travel Programs Outside of Africa?

Yes. In addition to Africa, The Road Less Traveled offers teen travel summer programs in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and across the United States. Each program is designed with the same foundation: small groups, meaningful service, and opportunities for teens to grow through travel.
