Experience

travel at its best

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.

As You Wish— A Trip for Every Interest You’ll find the most extraordinary collection of adventures in these pages, ranging from challenging treks in the Himalaya to thrilling African safaris and enchanting hiking trips in Europe. Choose from our Small Group Adventures (no more than 16 travelers), Private Journeys, Small Ship Cruises, and fascinating Special Events.

A Positive Impact Responsible travel can be an exceptional force for good in the world. We are committed to environmentally conscious, locally focused travel, and we believe passionately that our journeys can help preserve the natural places and cultures we visit. We are founding members of several conservation groups and actively support the Galápagos Conservancy, American Himalayan Foundation, Jane Goodall Institute, World Monuments Fund, Tompkins Conservation, and several other organizations including local schools in Africa, reforestation on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, coral reef protection in Palau, and other projects that help sustain these remarkable destinations.

Perfectly Designed Itineraries There is an art to creating a great travel experience, perfectly paced and with the ideal balance of activities. We are renowned for our distinctive itineraries that reveal 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.
