VISIT UGANDA
Uganda, often called the “Pearl of Africa,” boasts a rich tapestry of wildlife and diverse habitats, from the lush rainforests of Bwindi to the expansive savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Home to half of the world’s mountain gorillas, Uganda is a conservation beacon, diligently protecting these impressive creatures alongside elephants, lions and a multitude of bird species. The country’s conservation efforts are intertwined with the livelihoods of local communities who play a crucial role in safeguarding natural resources through sustainable practices and eco-tourism initiatives. Together, Uganda’s wildlife and communities exemplify a harmonious co-existence of humans and nature.

Rise with the sun to seek Ishasha’s notorious tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Wile away a lazy afternoon drifting down stream in the dappled light of Kazinga Channel, disturbed only by the wallowing hippos and birdsong overhead. Sit with gentle giants, observing the familiar interactions of mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or chimpanzees in Kyambura Gorge. Reach out to our expert team to begin creating your specialist discovery of this rich, abundant landscape.

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 the Democratic Republic of Congo and around the world.

My JWP experience was wild, literally as well as metaphorically. Riding through wildflower meadows, climbing through virgin forests, feasting on delicious locally sourced organic treats in ancient oak pastures with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced conservationists in the world, was an other-worldly memory I will always treasure.

Annabel
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2023

Norway was a once in a lifetime adventure...The guides and hosts were so committed to sustainability and it was inspiring to spend time with them. This was a truly authentic trip where we experienced once-in-a-lifetime activities. King crab fishing, northern lights, reindeer sanctuary, dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice hotel and incredible food. This was a trip we will never forget!

JP
Private Journey to Norway, 2024

I had an absolute blast traversing the wilderness surrounding the Carpathian Mountains with a truly wonderful group of people. Thank you Journeys With Purpose for organising a wild adventure I'll remember for the rest of my days.

Tristan
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2023

Not only did Journeys with Purpose immerse us in some of the most awe-inspiring natural landscapes, but they also introduced us to an array of fascinating conservation projects that left us both enlightened and motivated. Their careful attention to detail ensured our comfort and well-being throughout the trip, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was unforgettable. Every moment felt carefully curated.

Journeys With Purpose provides unique bespoke experiences with great communication. This is our 2nd trip with JWP. We love the connections to the local community and our memories will last a lifetime.

Anne Marie
Private Journey to Argentina and Chile, 2023

I have been lucky enough to visit conservation initiatives in many parts of the world - seeing the rewilding of the Iberá Wetlands first-hand through Journeys with Purpose has to rank as one of my most enjoyable and inspirational conservation experiences.

Dan
Hosted Journey to Argentina, 2022

My trip with JWP was inspiring, moving, engaging, surprising, fun, challenging, uplifting and motivating. I’ve come away with new friends, business associates, insights, understanding and greater determination to help accelerate rewilding globally.

Cain
Hosted Journey to Argentina, 2022

This was a fun, once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Again, thank you for your attention to detail and the superb service.

Sherri
Private Journey to Rwanda, 2024

This was an exceptional tour to the Carpathians with Journeys with Purpose and it exceeded my already high expectations by some distance. Everything about the trip was incredibly special - the hosts, the itinerary, the food and drink, the accommodation and above all the exceptional wildlife and scenery. Perfection!

Alistair
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2024

It was a great privilege to learn about this beautiful part of the world with Barbara and Christoph Promberger. Their vision for the Foundation they have created to protect and sustain it and what they have achieved is phenomenal. Riding round the meadows and hills behind Barbara on my fabulous steed Aida was one of the most exhilarating moments of my life! The flora and abundance of insect life were heaven and we had unexpectedly close encounters with bears, beavers and bison and felt the lurking presence of wolves, lynx and boar. The ecosystem of the Făgăraș Mountains is alive and well and how lucky I was to explore it in the care of JWP.

Rosalind
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2024

Journeys with Purpose open doors into fascinating worlds that other travel agencies seem hardly to know about.

Derek
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2024

The week spent in Romania with Barbara and Christophe was truly inspiring. They are an incredible couple and to have had the opportunity to get to know them and their vision thanks to Journeys with Purpose was the greatest privilege.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
