Do any African tour companies combine both an upscale luxury safari with an opportunity to do volunteer work?

A few of us are looking to go to South Africa on Safari but also wanted to take a few days and do some volunteer work for an organization that helps children in Africa. I was wondering if any of the tour companies have brought these two experiences together and offereing it as an option to their clients

1. Well i havent heard of any that combine those two things specifically but i can recommend you take a look on www.ihdurban.co.za website and see what they offer and maybe get intouch with them through e-mail. They are a very helpful company that organises safari's and may be able to help with referring you to someone who does combine the kids and safari. Good luck!!
