As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.
Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.

Our Impact Pledge is our commitment to support the advancement of pioneering conservation projects through direct donations with every journey. In 2023, and our second calendar year, we raised and directed over $50,000 to grassroot conversation projects. We do this by created hosted and private conservation travel experiences in South Africa and around the world.


Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers, with rainforests, volcanoes, and pristine beaches waiting to be explored. Whether you’re a couple or a family, you can learn about conservation projects that help protect Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity and promote eco-tourism.
