Letter from the Director
REAWAKEN YOUR SPIRIT

Since the beginning of the year, many of our travelers acted on my message to let us help reawaken your spirit, arouse your curiosity, and overcome any apprehension to step out and rediscover the joy and love of travel on a Wildland Adventure.

The Real Amazon
MANU AND TAMBOPATA, PERU

If you have only one chance to visit the Amazon and you want to see wildlife and learn about rain forest ecology, the remote rain forests of southeast Peru should be your first and only consideration. The protected rain forests of Manu National Park and the Tambopata Reserve in Peru, are some of the most pristine natural regions on Earth with the highest levels of species diversity of rain forest mammals, birds, and reptiles in the entire Amazon.

WILD GUIDE EXCHANGE

For over fifteen years we have pioneered innovative and personal approaches to travel that guarantee your Wildland Adventure will be a genuinely authentic and qualitatively superior experience. Our new Wild Guide Exchange program features special trips in which our best local guides from one region of the world will join their 'Wild Guide' counterpart in another destination to co-lead a small group of Wildland travelers. Our first Wild Guide Exchange East African Safari is a 14-day safari, September 14-27, 2002 in Tanzania and Kenya.

Family Trips

NEW YEAR'S & SPRING BREAK 2003

We plan scheduled family departures around school holidays especially in Summer, Christmas-New Year's and Spring Break.

We can organize a private Wildland Family Adventure for your kid's school or community. Check out our most popular family adventures this summer: Alaska, Costa Rica, Galapagos, Belize, Serengeti, and the Inca Trail.

Traveler's Talk: Recent Reports From the Field
TRACEY FORGUE FORGES CLOSE CONTACTS WITH NATIVES AND BEASTS ON SAFARI!

Tracy Forgue's account of her experiences on our Serengeti Camping Safari describe what we mean when we say we create authentic and intimate encounters in nature and among native peoples:

"There was a lion pacing the wall of the tent I was sleeping against. So here I am, not moving a muscle, listening to this big cat pant and looking at the indentation it is making in the wall of the tent!"
