"Look deep into nature, and then you'll understand everything better."
- Albert Einstein

Why do we travel?

We travel to step beyond the familiar, to feel awe, wonder and fascination. In nature, we find these rare moments that lift our spirits, broaden our perspectives, and reconnect us to the world in a way that leaves us renewed.

For millennia, humans evolved within nature, and recent research reaffirms the deep benefits nature offers: physical, mental, social and spiritual. At Wild Earth and Ocean, we’re passionate about sharing wildlife experiences with each of our guests.

Biodiversity & Conservation

We are dedicated to preserving our world’s wild places through strategic biodiversity conservation. Our approach encompasses Wildlife and habitat protection, community-based sustainable development and direct support for local conservation initiatives.

We carefully curate experiences at pioneering conservation reserves like the conservancies around the Masai Mara in Kenya, Singita Grumeti Reserve in Tanzania and Tswalu in South Africa, where tourism directly supports ecosystem and biodiversity protection. These wilderness spaces demonstrate how responsible travel can be a powerful tool for conservation, restoring and protecting habitats whilst empowering local communities.

By integrating ecological preservation with community empowerment, we safeguard the future of our planet’s most precious natural environments.

Authentic Connections

In the expansive wilderness, far from the busy-ness of everyday life, our journeys unveil a profound human capacity for connection. These remarkable experiences create genuine bonds—with the companions who share your adventure, with the vibrant local communities you encounter, with the raw beauty of untamed landscapes, and with the deepest parts of yourself.

Our safaris are more than travel; they are opportunities to reconnect you to the essential, unfiltered moments of human experience, inviting understanding that resonates beyond the journey itself.

Wellbeing

For 99% of our history, humans have evolved with and in nature, so it’s no surprise that our health and well-being are intricately connected to it in ways science is just beginning to explain. 

The rapidly growing body of evidence shows that time in nature can have numerous positive effects. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Physical Health: Improve general health, balance the nervous system, enhance cardiovascular health by reducing hypertension and coronary disease, and improve respiratory function.
  • Mental Well-being: Improve sleep, alleviate symptoms of psychological and physiological stress, and lead to greater happiness, well-being, and life satisfaction.
  • Social Benefits: Increase social connectedness.
  • Cognitive Function: Enhance cognitive abilities, including improved memory recall.
  • Immune System: Boost immune system function, increasing Natural Killer cells due to phytoncides (volatile organic compounds emitted by trees).
  • Emotional and Spiritual: Evoke awe, which can increase well-being and provide a sense of meaning or purpose.

 

These findings underscore the profound impact of nature on our overall health and well-being.
