We believe in the transformational power of travel, the importance of meaningful relationships, and we’re committed to providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences—just a step outside your comfort zone.

All of our trips are focused on having a sense of adventure—big or small—but this week, we’re highlighting a few experiences that are for those seeking a little more of an adrenaline rush. Our trip coordinator Amber just visited Uganda and she embraced her adventurous side in one of the most daring ways possible: white water rafting on the Nile—we’d say it’s one Africa’s greatest adventures. Or why not plan a multi-day trek on one of New Zealand and Australia’s greatest trails? On some of the routes, the only way to do it luxuriously is to heli in. Contact our team of adventurers to plan an experience that’s just the right mix of adventure and luxury for you.

Itinerary: Great Apes and Adventure in Uganda

If the prospect of spending long periods of time in a game vehicle makes you fidgety, or maybe you’ve done it all before, opt for the ultimate in off-beat adventure. You’ll have the opportunity to trek for chimpanzees and mountain gorillas, both spine-tingling experiences that will make memories to last a lifetime. If that isn’t enough of a thrill, finish with a white-water rafting trip on the Nile. Still seeking more adventure? Perhaps adding on a day of bungee jumping, jet-boating, or horseback riding will get you your adventure fix.
