Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserve the environment, sustain the well-being of local people, and deepen understanding of natural and cultural heritage.
We specialise in wildlife-focused trips, harnessing the power of ecotourism to generate funds for on-the-ground conservation. Get inspiration by browsing our dedicated travel sites: Real Africa, Real Asia and Real Americas.

Partnerships to Protect the Wild
With a name like Explorers Against Extinction, and patrons including Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Levison Wood, it will come as no surprise to learn that a passion for travel and adventure runs deep.
We strongly believe that the benefits of responsible travel – high quality, low density travel which supports the protection of wildlife, wild spaces and local communities – outweighs the environmental impact of travelling to and from a destination.
Your holiday pounds and dollars have the power to transform livelihoods through employment opportunities, and to attract investment which in turn improves essential services including water supply, infrastructure, clinics and schools.

How It Works
Browse holiday destinations and ideas at our dedicated travel sites: Real Africa, Real Asia and Real Americas.
Send us your enquiry. We put you in touch directly with our trusted travel network. Should you decide to book we receive a small referral commission in return (at no additional cost to you). This supports the running of Explorers Against Extinction. In time, we hope the network will grow and be able to directly support our projects too.
In return, you’ll receive complimentary one year membership to our Explorer Club providing a behind-the-scenes look at the work we do and in some destinations we can offer an optional project visit.
