Our Ground Breaking Conservation Tours

We have been at the forefront of conservation travel for over 12 years and are often the first to venture where others fear to tread.

Our ground breaking wildlife and wilderness tours support the habitat, species and communities that they visit. By joining one of our tours you are ensured to have a unique experience with expert local guides and leading wildlife specialists.

Some of our Discovery firsts - we were the first tour operator to:

Fund conservation projects worldwide through small group tours
Help habituate mountain gorilla in Uganda and Rwanda
Make climate care payment compulsory for carbon offsetting
Operate tours to the Congo and Central African Republic
Run study tours with researchers on lion monitoring projects
Contribute directly to the conservation of the Galapagos Islands

It is through our clients desire to seek out new adventures and by listening to their feedback that we are able to offer unique travel experiences and a privileged insight into the natural world. Our countries shown here highlight some of our flagship tours and are some of our proudest achievements to date.

We look forward to creating exciting new tours in the coming year ahead. Why not join one of our tours and be the first to see conservation in action.
