Villagers in remote hilltop village only accessible by foot (or helicopter - a first) sacrifice two cattle, to feed the village and importantly appease the ancestors to enable families to move into houses vacant since the 1950s.

SUMBA

All accommodation during this high-end expedition was either built or renovated mostly using traditional buildings or homes, ultimately providing thousands of jobs and leaving infrastructures including a school.

SOUTH AFRICA

Our visit to the Baliem Valley to meet the Dani was complex and carefully managed on many levels. It forms a long-term commitment to strategies to help them survive their most challenging chapter in 50,000 years.

WEST PAPUA

Spending quality time with the Moken during a project in the Mergui Archipelago we came across families of several generations who had lost their boats and had resigned themselves to a life on land. We enabled them to get back to their lives on the sea.

BURMA

Together with veterinary scientists we have funded and assisted several times with rhino conservation projects.

SOUTH AFRICA

Following a wonderful evening with the Bedouin in the Erg Chegaga we learned they no longer had a regional school, so assisted over the next months to change that.

MOROCCO

During this expedition through the Ecuadorian, Bolivian and the Brazilian Amazon we delivered vital medicines and other essential items, including a visit to a Xingu tribe where clients lived with the locals in one of their traditional ’ocas’.

BRAZIL

On this journey through West Papua and Raja Ampat we developed a central strategy to work with and assist marine conversationists.

WEST PAPUA

Our journeys to places like Burma are always focussed to reach as many local people as possible. Here we renovated a monastery to provide authentic accommodation for guests, providing work to many local people and keeping old skills alive.

BURMA

Setting up exclusive experiences like this Naadam not only provide seminal events within a journey, but vital cultural gatherings essential in these days of challenging times for indigenous cultures.

MONGOLIA

Clients arrive to a remote Yanomami village, bringing medical supplies and other essential items.

VENEZUELA

Central to the planning of this wonderful gathering and extraordinary client experience was a strategy for elders to join from other local communities, to learn from a tribe successfully living by traditional means and thus help others benefit from tourism.

Philanthropy

Through our work we strive to reach out and help others.

We endeavour to help preserve the natural environments and indigenous cultures we visit around the world.

From our very first job, we have always developed strategies to help benefit local communities and the environments we visit. Sometimes this forms the backbone of the overall travel strategy, so that you embark on a journey that truly makes a lasting difference…

From small scale community based initiatives to chartering global pathways that ensure permanent conservation at scale, we can accommodate any level of philanthropic gesture to ensure your travels are infused with meaning and purpose.

Conservation Forever

“A holistic model, designed to protect our planet’s most remarkable natural places, forever.”

We’re living in a critical time for Earth’s history and are undeniably aware of the effects that humanity has had on the planet.

We recognize that the choices we make today will decide the quality of the future our children will live in tomorrow.

We believe that we all have the power to give back, and our guests are often fortunate enough to be in the unique position to make a big difference where it matters.

The steps we take over the next decade are crucial.

Project Finance For Permanence

We’ve made a strategic decision to align in a new partnership with a large conservation NGO, seeking to implement visionary conservation projects at a scale the world has never seen before. The vehicle for this initiative is called Project Finance for Permanence (PFP).

PFP differ from past conservation initiatives in that they leverage all of the financing needed from donors, host governments and multi-lateral institutions to come together in a single deal, locking in permanent protections that truly last forever.

The key is scale. In order to really protect charismatic megafauna, forests, freshwater, vast marine areas and the human communities that co-exist there, you have to protect the entire interconnected ecosystem. When you do this, the fresh water, the healthy forests that draw down carbon, and the wonderful diversity of species all thrive in harmony, because each naturally relies on the other for long term health.

PFP protect some our planets most iconic ecosystems. We’ve designed some of our most creative and extraordinary journeys to allow guests to be immersed in these places, encounter the species they are protecting and interact with the characters who are integral the longevity of these true stories.

If moved to do so, these unique experiences enable guests to become essential stakeholders in the projects themselves. Thereby becoming central protagonists in ensuring the environmental legacy of their own true story.

We work hand-in-hand with NGO’s, trusted local experts and community leaders to help with real issues on the ground in order to help our guests understand what the challenges are, what is needed and to give them the tools to provide a meaningful contribution to the health of our planet.

“We work with NGO’s, trusted local experts and community leaders to help with real issues on the ground”

The power of storytelling has never been more relevant. And the world has never been in such urgent need of new, inspirational, and dynamic characters and narratives to change the course of history.

Whether you already have a specific region close to heart, are looking to expand your knowledge of the world and need inspiration, or are simply looking to do some good, we will guide you in the right direction to ensure your efforts create meaningful impact

We can accommodate any level of gesture, and our team will diligently work to identify the most worthwhile causes, on a case-by-case basis, whilst opening-up opportunities to provide our guests with life-changing experiences.
