3. Enjoy Travel in Small Groups
The small group size keeps your experience personal. How small? Our groups enjoy six to twelve guests, plus your local guide and one of our Leaders. That is all. Our size allows us to visit places that bigger groups cannot.You will have more time with your guides to ask questions, learn, understand, and connect.
And our smaller footprint is more sustainable overall.
4. Explore The Paths Few Travel
Some of Earth's most interesting and wonderful places are off the beaten track. From tropical rainforests to boreal forests, Páramo to Pantanal, deserts, mountains, and lush grasslands, you'll be fascinated by the nature and cultures of the places you'll explore
And our pace is slower than many others, so there is time and opportunity to drink in the moment's richness– without the distraction of maddening tourist hordes.
5. Discover Life! In the Air, on Land, and in the Sea
Experience the magic of wild lion cubs wrestling in the afternoon sun, a wolf pack (family) playing in the snow, a pod of humpback whales bubble-net feeding as seabirds dive for the "leftovers", or a snowy owl swooping silently down on its prey - all with an expert to explain the scene, connecting the action to the world around it. And always with the highest degree of responsible wildlife viewing best practices.
6. Experience The Deeper Dive
Just "seeing" can be fun, but seeing, learning, and understanding enrich the experience. Every itinerary brings you a deeper dive by including meetings with scientists, researchers, conservationists, and others to learn more about the destination's unique species or ecosystems.
Recently, we joined researchers as they captured and radio-collared a Painted Dog in South Africa, met with experts monitoring newly reintroduced Northern Bald Ibis into Southern Spain, and traveled to upstate New York and Canada with the founder of Project SNOWstorm, the most critical Snowy Owl research project on Earth.
7. Follow Your Passion – and Meet Others with the Same
Our journeys help you explore what you love in nature, whether you're passionate about Gray wolves or Gray whales, Leopards or Lazuli Buntings, or want to explore all of nature. You may even uncover some new passions! And you will do it with like-minded people who share your joy.
8. Solo traveler? Welcome!
When you travel with us, you are part of the family. Join the fun and share experiences with people who share your passions and curiosity.
Our small groups explore together by day, learning, discovering, and immersing themselves in new experiences. In the evening, we enjoy meals together, relating stories, creating daily sighting lists, reminiscing, planning, and laughing. Join us! We can't wait to meet you!
