Our approach
Not tours. Explorations.
An exploration is a journey we are still learning. We go with a local guide who is also a friend, set the route in outline, and write up what we find afterwards as a field note.
The shape of each journey is on its page. The detailed route is in the trip note, and is finalised with the people who know the ground.
