The perfect journey exists. We craft it for you.
Global Basecamps designs private, fully bespoke journeys for discerning travelers who want more than a standard itinerary. From Africa and Asia to Latin America, the Middle East, Oceania and Scandinavia, every trip is built around you: your pace, your interests and your idea of an extraordinary escape.
The finest lodge, the most insightful guide, the sunrise you'll never forget and the cultural encounter few travelers ever have are all out there. Our job is to bring them together into one seamless, effortless journey.
Exclusive experiences, off the beaten path
Decades of trip planning have given us access to exclusive experiences off the beaten path: private activities, expert local guides and exceptional, locally owned lodges. Spend the night in a traditional ryokan in Japan. Watch the sun set from a private safari lodge in South Africa. Wake to the Skeleton Coast in Namibia or under canvas on the Serengeti. We open doors to the places and people that make a destination unforgettable, with the comfort and care you expect.
Personal service, from first call to last day
You work one-on-one with a dedicated travel specialist who has lived, worked and traveled in the regions they plan. Some of our team bring more than 30 years of travel-industry experience. We listen first, then craft your itinerary and refine every detail with you until it's exactly right. We stay by your side from the moment you start planning until you're home again.
Luxury that gives back
Our journeys directly benefit the communities you visit. We partner only with like-minded lodges and operators who help ensure tourism has no negative impact on the environment, culture and economy of each destination. A few of the ways we put that into practice:
- We offset the flight emissions of all our travelers through Offset Alliance.
- We signed World Animal Protection's Wildlife-Friendly Pledge, offering only responsible viewing of animals in the wild.
- Our travelers to Cambodia hand-deliver clean-water filters to families in Kampong Khleang village, with our partners at Waves for Water.
- We have funded school lunches in Zimbabwe, a teachers' office in Tanzania and condor conservation in Ecuador.
Recognized for quality
Global Basecamps journeys have twice been named among National Geographic Traveler's "50 Tours of a Lifetime." We are also a Stride Preferred Partner, an honor given for quality, professionalism, customer service and responsible travel.
