A WORLD OF EXTRAORDINARY TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
JUST RELEASED - TIBET & BHUTAN - SACRED KINGDOMS OF THE HIMALAYAS
We are thrilled to introduce 2 new Himalayan expeditions — from the “Roof of the World” in Tibet to the Hidden Shangri-La Kingdom of Bhutan. Each is a remarkable journey in its own right, or combine the two for the ultimate Himalayan experience.
ST HELENA & AFRICAN SAFARI
FROM WHALE SHARKS TO THE BIG FIVE - A TRUE SEA TO SAVANNAH ADVENTURE
Experience two of the Southern Hemisphere’s most captivating & contrasting destinations in one extraordinary journey.
Begin on remote St Helena, a hidden South Atlantic gem where male and female whale sharks gather in their only known breeding grounds. Dive dramatic volcanic reefs teeming with endemic species, explore historic shipwrecks, and hike rugged valleys and ridgelines dotted with centuries-old remnants of Napoleon’s exile.
Journey to KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, where the adventure continues beneath the waves and across the bush. Dive the legendary reefs of Aliwal Shoal and Sodwana Bay, coming face-to-face with tiger sharks, bull sharks, manta rays, and ragged-tooth sharks. Explore Africa’s largest coastal wetland by boat, drifting past hippos, crocodiles, and spectacular birdlife in a pristine lagoon ecosystem.
Culminate your journey in one of South Africa’s most celebrated private game reserves, where expert guides lead intimate game drives in search of the Big Five. Each evening, unwind at the luxurious &Beyond Phinda Zuka Lodge, hired exclusively for our group, offering complete privacy, attentive service, and an exceptional safari setting.
This expedition delivers a rare combination of ocean adventure, wild landscapes, and luxury safari experiences, creating a truly immersive and unforgettable wildlife journey.
“Thomas, thank you for the trip of a lifetime. Totally crazy and totally great. We did SO much in a relatively short time thanks to your incredible planning. So many moving parts fit together beautifully. Amazing!!! You and Sabine always went the extra mile to be sure everyone had a great trip and we really appreciated all your hard work and enthusiasm. We felt welcomed by your “usual suspects” and are pleased to be part of this select group! It was a “ginormous” treat to travel with you again. Thank you Thomas for making our trip a HUGE success. Until the next time!”

TRIP REPORT SNEAK PREVIEW - 2026 BAHAMAS
From the crystal-clear springs of Crystal River—where we snorkelled alongside gentle West Indian manatees—to the shark-rich waters of the Bahamas, this journey delivered on every level.
At Tiger Beach, tiger sharks ruled the shallows, while Bimini brought unforgettable encounters with great hammerheads. Off remote Cat Island, oceanic whitetips completed the trifecta in electric blue water.
Press play, and slip quietly into the springs—drifting alongside manatees in their underwater world.
