A commitment to making a difference and to leave our world a better place, has been the cornerstone of &Be-yond’s ethos since our beginning in 1991. Providing guests with an exceptional travel experience is the pulse behind our conservation trilogy Care of the Land, Care of the People, and Care of the Wildlife.

A key factor in the maintaining of this 26-year long impact momentum has been

the fact that our model is self –funding, and is therefore not dependent on any

one donor or individual. Our offerings to your guests extends across the three

continents of Africa, South America and Asia. It brings to the table our 29 exquisite

African safari lodges and camps, the highly acclaimed new &Beyond Vira Vira in

Chile’s Lake District, our specialist travel planners who are at your disposal, and a

world of &Beyond expertise that will facilitate your guest’s journey from start

to finish.

We have established an intimate relationship with some of the world’s last

remaining unspoilt natural places and the communities that surround them,

resulting in our trademark rare, exclusive and extraordinary travel experiences.
