experience, perfectly paced and with the
ideal balance of activities. We are renowned

the best of each destination, giving you a
unique experience of the cultures, history,
landscapes, and cuisines you’ve come
so far to explore. Everywhere we travel we
bring along our own special Wilderness
Travel style: small, locally owned hotels
where we are welcomed as family; luxurious
safari camps with phenomenal access
to wildlife; meals that give you a chance to
experience the best of local cuisine, and
more. Let our 40 years of expertise give
you an unforgettable journey.

Our Philosophy
Our core philosophy is elegantly simple and
timeless: it’s not just where you travel, but
how you travel that makes our trips unique. The
magic of the “how” comes from a meticulously
planned and artfully executed itinerary; our
expert Trip Leaders—the undisputed best in
the business; and the camaraderie and just
plain fun of traveling with a small group of
kindred spirits. We are honored to have been
recognized with the top awards in the business,
including #1 Outfitter in the World in AFAR
magazine’s Traveler’s Choice Awards, Travel +
Leisure’s World’s Best Tour Operators, and
Outside magazine’s Best Outfitter in the World.
