What really matters to us

We aim to develop long term relationships – with our clients, our partners and, especially, with the communities we visit regularly. As such, our business is built on giving back. We are dedicated to preserving the land, oceans and cultures that compel us to travel.

We believe that both the customized, private-guided tours that we design and the giving partnerships we undertake should be inspiring and impactful. Our charitable initiatives are rooted in exploration, education and environmental awareness.

Kensington Cares drives meaningful social impact through Range Foundation, the charitable arm of Navigatr Group. Kensington clients contribute directly to these transformative initiatives—1% of all trip sales is dedicated to supporting our impactful programs. Additionally, during the booking process, clients have the option to add a personal donation, amplifying their journey’s impact.

Fostering education

We believe offering access to education is one of the most powerful ways we can make a global impact. Kensington Cares is an initiative designed to support education in Kenya. Our efforts have helped Mara West Foundation in funding two schools in the Masai Mara: Oloosinon Primary School and Kensington Hall.

• 800 primary students supported by Kensington Cares since 2008
• 52% increase in the number of girls who now have access to secondary education since the opening of Kensington Hall

Funding environmental initiatives

We’re focused on supporting research and data collection efforts that will affect change, especially when it comes to conservation. As a founding partner of Nekton, Kensington has made an important commitment to the research and conservation of the deep ocean, our planet's last great frontier.

In accordance with 30x30, Nekton collects data and samples to set a baseline of information for the previously unexplored deep-sea waters of the Indian Ocean.

Encouraging exploration

A yearning for adventure and new discoveries around the globe is at the heart of all that we do. Kensington is an official travel partner of The Explorers Club, a prestigious professional society supporting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences.

We also support a group of intrepid storytellers from around the globe. Part of our Explorers In Residence program, these writers, photographers and filmmakers are committed to furthering our understanding of this planet and its people.

Empowering outreach

We also value our local community and empower our staff to volunteer with charitable organizations during and outside of office hours. Kensington is a corporate partner to United Way, Make-A-Wish Canada and Trails Youth Initiatives.
