Sample Expeditions

Five routes. One rule: 7 days, door to door.

These are five examples of how we work — real destinations, real logistics, built the way we would actually run them. Not the limit: from Kamchatka to Tierra del Fuego, if it's a real place, we can probably build it. All routes are on request: tell us the season and we build the exact dates around it. Every trip runs with a private guide and a maximum of 6 travelers.

CHF 9,400
  • 2-day gorilla trekking permit, Uganda — more authentic and far less touristic than the Rwanda side
  • Extension into Akagera National Park, Rwanda, focused on macro photography
  • Scientifically guided: biologists and researchers who know not just the terrain, but the stories behind it
  • Special permits arranged, including drone flights — we know how
  • Private guide for the full trip, bridging the physical trek as well as the language and cultural gaps along the way
  • Optional helicopter transfer Kigali – Volcanoes National Park, cutting the road transfer from roughly 3 hours to 20 minutes

Not On The List?

If it's a real place, we can probably build it.

These five are the routes we know best. Not on the list — no problem at all. If you have somewhere or something specific in mind, tell us — that's usually where the best trips start.
