'Explorer' itineraries introduce untouched and unexplored destinations to intimate groups of just 11 to 16. Accommodations are unique and unusual, often in remote and ordinarily quite inaccessible destinations. With the emphasis on rugged experiences, these choices are for the truly adventurous.


Tibet & Beyond - Journey across "the roof of the world" and delve into the beguiling way of life that makes Tibet distinctly different from the rest of China.


The Desert Road: Libya & Egypt - This ancient trading route is marked with some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world.


In Temples & Dragons: Bhutan & Darjeeling, visit the tiny mountain kingdom of Bhutan (known as Druk Yul, "Land of the Thunder Dragon") and the Paro Valley.


Tanzania Under Canvas - Travel off the beaten path in regions of Tanzania seldom visited by tourists for intimate encounters with the extraordinary Hadza and Maasai people.


Ethiopia: An Ancient Dynasty - Explore Ethiopia's rich culture, Orthodox Christian tradition and ancient forts and monasteries dating back to the 11th Century.


Travel further back in time to Ancient Cultures of Papua New Guinea & Northern Australia , home to over 1,000 distinct ethnic groups as isolated from one other by the island's rugged terrain as their island is from the world at large.


Follow in the Footsteps of the Khans across Mongolia's sweeping steppes and desert plains, with nights in traditional ger camps.
