Welcome to the largest collection of community based tourism vacations which form part of a new initiative by responsibletravel.com and Conservation International to promote community based tourism vacations.
To find out more about this initiative, or to see how tour operators and community based tourism projects can get involved, go to the Community Based Tourism Programme.
These full and frank independent Community based tourism vacations reviews are from travelers who have booked directly through responsibletravel.com. They are not edited by us or any of the companies we work with. Find the real story, from real travelers below.
The number of different animals we saw or heard was amazing, from being woken up by howler monkeys just outside our lodge; to seeing Capuchin monkeys eating berries by the lake. 
(more)Most memorable was arrving at the first village on day one of the trek - incredible setting and the most spectacular place to have a cup of tea anywhere in Ethiopia! (more)From the moment we stepped on to the canoe it all became a bit of an adventure. Our excellent local guide Delfin brought the forest to life with his tales of the living in the forest (more)The walk is simply spectacular with magnificent views over the escarpment every step of the way....The people are really lovely and very welcoming and we found it an extraordinary privilege to meet them and learn about their lives.

Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
