Pacing Guide

Choose the Journey That's Right for You

While the core of our mission has remained the same since our founding, we have expanded to offer land-only safaris, stays at quaint, boutique hotels and even luxury ger accommodations in some of the world’s most far-flung locales. In 2023, we enhanced our offerings, yet again, with increased free time and a more leisurely to moderate pace on select itineraries. Pacing indicators are listed on each and every Journey to provide more information about the level of independent exploration and guided tours included. We have also provided them below.
