Issue 1 2013
The last few months have been amongst the busiest we can remember. In addition to designing new and exciting tailor-made holidays we have been out of the office researching opportunities, furthering our destination knowledge and performing quality control. Recent highly productive visits to the Cayman Islands, Québec and Iceland have resulted in some exciting new itineraries, while trips to Canada and Borneo have reinforced our determination to find sustainable ways of visiting a particular habitat or ecosystem to appreciate and understand its fauna. We constantly review what we do and how we do it, and reflect on what makes us different from our competitors. In essence we strive to ensure that we remain at the forefront of conservation-based wildlife travel.
TRAVEL: We offer a simply unparalleled range of opportunities to see the finest wildlife in the world, travelling by air, by expedition vessel, in open four-wheel-drive vehicles, boats, canoes and, of course, on foot. We harness not only the best ways of getting you where you need to be, but also the optimum means of watching wildlife while there.
EXPERIENCE: The quintessential nature of our trips is to provide a meaningful
experience and an insight into the environment through which you travel. This depends not only on the guides who accompany you in each location, and who are your eyes, ears and the key to understanding, but also on the locations you visit and the accommodation used. Our clients commonly say that the single most important element of their trip is the guide, whose knowledge and interpretative skills enrich their experience far beyond expectation.
CONSERVE: We are passionate conservationists - this passion percolates every
element of our organisation and drives what we do, and how we do it. It affects all our decision-making processes - especially how we select all the components of our trips. Wildlife tourism has become a highly significant source of employment and income in many developing countries, and we have seen a steady increase in the number of people travelling to enjoy wildlife in its natural habitat. Yet without control, it has the potential to endanger both the wildlife and the environment and, as the leader in the field, we are highly conscious of the role we play in fostering the conservation of wildlife, wilderness and local communities. We would love to design your wildlife holiday for 2013!
