Let Us Plan Your Private Journey

What Are Private Journeys?

Inspired by our small-group Journeys, but need different dates, pacing, or purpose? Or imagining something entirely your own? Searching for a once-in-a-lifetime trip for your family or a summer, educational focused trip for your classroom?

Our Private Journeys are fully custom, stewarded experiences shaped by decades of experience and deep, trusted relationships around the world. These long-standing partnerships grant access to places, people, and conservation and rewilding efforts that simply can’t be found through traditional travel channels.

This is travel led by expertise, care, and intention. Crafted for those who seek meaningful access and authentic connection. We invite you to explore the world through relationships built over time, guided by trust, curiosity, and respect.

Start Your Private Journey

What Makes Us Different

We don’t start with destinations. We start with relationships.

For decades, we’ve built trust with local guides, conservationists, Indigenous leaders, and community partners across the globe. These relationships grant access that cannot be replicated from behind-the-scenes conservation work to meaningful cultural exchange and time spent in truly wild places. This is not travel assembled from a catalog. It is travel shaped by presence, trust, and deep local knowledge.

How It Works

Phase One: We Listen First

We begin with a small set of thoughtful questions designed to understand you — your timing, interests, budget, and the kind of experience you’re seeking.

This initial conversation helps us understand your goals, values, and priorities, laying the foundation for a journey that feels intentional, personal, and well considered.

Phase Two: Thoughtful Design

Using what we’ve learned, we begin shaping your journey.

At this stage, we create a custom lookbook that brings your journey to life. Based on your feedback and once we’re aligned on direction, we collect a $500 planning fee, which is applied toward your total journey cost. From there, we craft a fully curated proposal for your review and refinement.

Once your itinerary is finalized and feels just right, a 50% deposit is required to begin confirming accommodations, guides, permits, and on-the-ground arrangements.

Phase Three: The Journey Unfolds

At this stage, the final balance is due 60 days prior to departure, allowing us to complete confirmation and prepare for our journey.

Throughout your journey, you’re supported by trusted local partners with whom we’ve built long-standing relationships. From departure to return, we remain available to support you, allowing you to stay present and fully engaged in the journey.

A Milestone Celebration Made Magical

“Ami was absolutely instrumental in planning a group trip for a 40th birthday.

Her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and passion for travel made it one of the most wonderful trips I've ever taken.”
