We are pleased to have been recognised by a number of global awards as being one of the leading exponents of responsible travel. It is our aim that nothing which our company does abroad or at home compromises the environment and the wildlife or exploits the local people. We look for positive impact, so the money generated by tourism is helping locally. We don't ram these principles down your throat.
Fundamentally we want you to have an outstanding vacation, whether you are on a safari, trekking, or relaxing on the beach. But by traveling with us you can do this in the knowledge that we have put in the background research to make sure that your money is being put to good use.
On this trip we recommend the use of heritage properties in support of the cultural heritage of the built environment. Without tourism many fantastic buildings would have fallen into a sad state of dereliction. Money from tourism has helped regenerate these architectural masterpieces. We only use local Indian guides for this trip who have an in-depth knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, their country and their culture.
Flights are automatically carbon offset through The Travel Forest, which plants 10 indigenous trees on your behalf (currently in northern Tanzania). Whilst the primary motivation for planting the trees is to offset carbon emissions, the project also works as a poverty alleviation and environmental improvement scheme.
Amanda set up this adventure tour operators with her husband in 1998 because she wanted to involve local people in offering authentic travel experiences. She believes in sticking closely with who you want to work with and maintains strong relationships with her staff. As a result, her vacations offer imaginative itineraries with unusual add-ons, thanks to the interesting links with grass roots companies. Amanda is passionate about green travel and has her own travel foundation which promotes sustainability. She and her staff work hard to 'keep it real' so that your vacation leaves you truly inspired.

We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
