Celebrating World Wildlife Day

This month, we celebrated World Wildlife Day to recognize the planet’s last truly wild places that millions of animals call home. What sets us apart is our commitment to ethical and sustainable travel and our belief that experiencing wildlife should never come at its expense. Our trips are designed to support local conservation initiatives, protect natural habitats, empower communities, and minimize environmental impact.

One of our most illustrious partners in this regard, Great Plains Conservation, has shown an unparalleled commitment to wildlife conservation, which aligns directly with EXPLORE’s mission. Watch this video to witness the power of safari and how it connects us to the wild world. Dereck and Beverly Joubert have contributed enormously to the preservation and appreciation of wildlife through their fantastic documentary films. Do yourself a favor and watch them!

“Safari. In Swahili it means journey. Not just distance between two places. But the space between who we are. And who we become.

Every safari begins with a single step. A spark of curiosity. A call to see beyond the horizon. The path may be dusty. The river wide. The way uncertain.

But moving forward shapes the journey. Some journeys are different… A pack of Painted Dogs found a new home. Against all odds, we relocated them. A groundbreaking mission. A safari of survival. A journey of hope. Because here, a safari is more than a vacation. It is conservation in motion.

Every guest becomes part of protecting wild places. Every journey helps write the next chapter for wildlife. A safari is not measured in miles. But in moments. In silence that humbles. In wonder that awakens. In connections that last. In the end, every safari is an invitation.

To see, feel, and protect the wild. And to carry its spirit long after the journey ends. Safari. A word. A path. A promise.”
