About Us
Home Planet Exploration is the provider of specialized adventure travel in East Africa. We work hard to provide the customer with an unprecedented experience in remote places while simultaneously benefiting the indigenous peoples. Home Planet Exploration has a working relationship with the Dorobo Fund and its projects; a fund organized to preserve wilderness areas and indigenous ways of life as one. It is a daunting challenge in the new millennium when human expansion is at its fastest rate ever.To operate a tour business without exploiting the land takes a plan and an idea. The alliance of Home Planet Exploration and the Dorobo project is our way of operating in Africa while providing the most benefit to the African people whose land we use to earn a living. Without creating the circular cycle within and through Home Planet Exploration and the indigenous peoples, there is less chance for success with the idea of sustained wilderness through natural cycles. It is important to help these people understand that a land use pattern that sustains wilderness is more valuable in the long run and must be implemented for both their future and the future of the land as it now exists.
