our partners who are paid fairly and in a transparent way with 100% of the reward they ask for their services.
We support
the local community and the environment through responsible choices on accommodation, food, activities and purchases during travel.
We enhance
knowledge and we raise awareness around social and environmental issues faced by the destinations we visit, while making a tangible contribution to their resolution.
We promote

Why travel with us
100% of your money stays in local economy
In Routes for good, we design our routes in such a way to ensure that 100% of your travel money will go directly to the people with whom we cooperate, thus supporting them and their families.
A completely personalized experience
At your travel destination, a friend who wishes to offer you a unique experience, and not just a faceless tour guide, will be waiting for you! Together, we will plan your travel based on time available, budget, preferences and number of travellers. The same flexibility will accompany us throughout the travel, by adjusting it as needed and for as long as it is required!
You support the community and the environment
We choose eco-friendly and sustainable accommodations that adopt responsible practices; we cooperate with women’s cooperatives and community groups; we visit small local corporations that implement wildlife protection and local community empowerment programmes.
Genuine connection with locals
During your travel, you come to substantial contact with people in remote destinations that we visit, having the unique opportunity to become a part of them and to experience their culture and their habits in the most authentic way.
An experience away from mass tourism
Our activity covers regions outside the usual tourist route. This gives us the opportunity to live unprecedented and authentic experiences in less developed and hard-to-reach places that welcome only a few tourists, thereby making our travel even more impactful for us and the local community.

TESTIMONIALS
Previous travelers and our current friends, share a few words about their most authentic travel experience!
A journey that will definitely mark you, that will make you see your life differently, that will touch you.
Several times I wondered if what I was living was real. It was probably the first time, where what I experienced exceeded the expectations I had before the trip.
Thodoris Karaoulanis
The trip was magical! It was a shock in multiple levels... culturally, socially, sensorially. Our contact with nature was direct, as we stayed in beautiful camps. Our interaction with the local tribes, through wonderful Joseph, was authentic. This is a trip that could never be organized by a mainstream travel agency nor by solo travelers.
Persronally, I feel I participated in a National Geographic mission!!!
Maria Koutsoubou
There in the Samburu Region, at night, under the sparkling sky, in the absolute silence, you clearly see all that you did not appreciate enough. If you travel with open mind and heart, these routes in Northern Kenya is a unique opportunity for a more “united” world.
Georgina Kartelia
It was indeed a journey in the center of the world, inspired by Eleni and Joseph. A unique experience that you could never have as part of a touristic group or a solo traveler...Enthusiastic and passionate Joseph within only 12 days guided us through his amazing land and its unique people. A lifetime experience...
Dionysia Tzovandaropoulou
A trip to a different world!
A world that we know it exists, but it is more impactful when you see it with your own eyes; see how these people live with the bare minimum or even less, however they still have a big smile in their faces!
I really admire Eleni’s and Joseph’s passion and vision for Routes for good and hope to be part of this amazing experience again in the future 🙂

Traveling to north Kenya with Joseph and Routes for good is about traveling to a place that makes you realize your core values.
Fun, adventure, emotionally charged moments bind together to a unique experience.

Words are so difficult to describe this trip… You feel like you travel at the centre of the earth. It's an existential journey where you remember what really matters. Amazing sceneries at Turkana Lake. Our guide Joseph from Samburu tribe showed us all the hidden beauties and made this experience an immersion into the local culture. And most of all we made a new good friend. I will never forget the songs of the children from El Molo tribe. This trip is a journey to your roots. Discover your "roots" for good. Responsible travel without mediators. The whole experience is the real thing; it's a feeling, the core.

Older travelers and our current friends, share a few words about their experience!
A trip to Madagascar turned out to be an unforgettable travelling experience. On one hand there was this magnificent island with its unparalleled beauty landscapes and its wonderful people and on the other hand there was Fabrice, a stunning, charismatic tour guide, highly knowledgeable and above everything an amazing, warm person. I highly recommend an authentic adventure in enchanting Madagascar with Fabrice as tour guide! It will be a guaranteed unique and unforgettable experience!

We went on a family trip to Madagascar and we had the best time ever with our tour guide Fabrice. He has a great personality, very funny, very competent and a great company. He has attention to detail to make sure that he could provide anything we might need. There is always solution to a problem. We had a very good time in the car, singing and laughing. During thoses 2 weeks a deep friendship was develop and Fabrice will forever hold a special place in our heart.
