Private journeys of distinction
Whether it’s designing private frontier expeditions to remote lands or creating a multi-generational retreat that perfectly reflects the wishes and needs of every single family member, we’re passionate about the transformative power of travel.
We try to incorporate a social or environmental purpose into all our trips and have seen first-hand how the travel we design can change lives. Not just yours, but also those in the communities and environments you visit. The wisdom and wonders that you encounter along the way—and the rarity of and meaning behind such experiences—are privileges given to few.
As a valued client of Morgan Stanley, you’ll certainly expect flawless service and exceptional accommodation. Take this as read.
But we hope you’ll agree with us that the success of your trip is better measured by the difference you can make in the lives of others, rather than by a pair of white gloves or the thread count in your suite. And we don’t just talk the talk. To date, we’ve generated over $6 million in donations. These have funded projects as diverse as the construction of sand dams in Kenya, the provisioning of schools in Nepal, bringing much-needed supplies to scientific teams working deep in Antarctica and providing a Land Rover for a wildlife veterinary unit working to protect Namibia’s dwindling desert lion population.
We are proud to partner with a number of gold-standard charitable foundations across Africa, Asia and Latin America who work tirelessly to protect some of the world’s most vulnerable communities and habitats. The connections we have formed over the years with organisations such as the African Wildlife Foundation allow us to offer you unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to a range of inspiring projects. Meeting key stakeholders and policymakers, joining wildlife rangers at the front line of conservation, or seeing for yourself just how many smiles can be generated by a delivery of health or educational supplies needn’t just be a feel-good moment in your vacation. Your contribution–whether of time, money or other resources–can be a catalyst for profound and lasting positive change.
Communities and environments at the thin end of resource distribution are often located in regions far from the established tourist routes. Even in destinations as logistically challenging as Chad, Mongolia or the Brazilian Amazon, we can custom-design private luxury wilderness camps for you, complete with proper beds, hot showers and a top private chef, along with vehicles, boats and helicopters to help you reach the remotest areas.
We are at a critical time. Climate change, biodiversity loss and a widening gap in resource allocation mean that much of nature and humanity are on the brink. The good news is that your support can do so much to reverse these trends and help regenerate both land and communities.
