How We Travel
Travel with the Experts!
For more than 30 years, people have entrusted their travel dreams to us. Our adventures span every corner of the globe, and our quality of itinerary design and leadership has earned us one of the highest rates of repeat travelers in the business. Our core philosophy is elegantly simple: it’s not just where you travel, but how you travel that makes a Wilderness Travel experience. The magic of the “how” at Wilderness Travel comes from our expert Trip Leaders —the undisputed best in the business, a meticulously planned and artfully executed itinerary, and the camaraderie and just plain fun of traveling with a small group of like-minded people!
The Best of Every Destination—Wilderness Travel Style
Everywhere we travel we bring our own special Wilderness Travel style along. In Europe, this means staying at charming small hotels where we are welcomed as family, and enjoying elegant picnics of delectable local specialties and wines. In Africa, our safari camps are downright luxurious and our exclusive lodges are located with great access to wildlife. Our Himalayan and Andean treks feature our celebrated full-service camping amenities: you’ll sleep easy at night snuggled in warm sleeping bags in cozy mountaineering tents, dine on wonderful and varied camp meals, and wake up each day to a hot cup of coffee or tea brought right to your tent!
A Trip for Every Interest and Level of Challenge
We offer you an incredible variety of travel experiences, each rated from 1 to 7 according to the degree of activity and general travel conditions (1 is the easiest and 7 is the most strenuous). Browse our website by activity, destination or date, and even compare trips side by side. Then give us a call—our Area Managers are happy to help you find the perfect adventure that fits your needs.
Just Pack Your Bags—We’ve Got the Logistics Covered!
Whichever destination you choose, rest assured that our Trip Leaders and support staff take the utmost care with every aspect of your trip, from the moment you arrive until you head back home.

You’re in great hands every step of the way!
Personal Service
In the Home Office, our Area Managers focus on a particular part of the world and possess a wealth of knowledge that can’t be matched. They are usually your single point of contact, taking care of trip details, trip extensions, and providing you with specifics on everything from appropriate clothing and equipment to necessary visas and immunizations. We also provide comprehensive reading lists to spark your imagination for the journey ahead.
