Established in 1991, &Beyond are bespoke tour operators for sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, South America and Antarctica. We also own and manage 29 extraordinary lodges and camps across three continents.
It is at these touch points where you, as our guest, enable us to positively impact 75 communities and directly conserve our footprint of 1 million acres.
We believe that travel has the power to transform. Extraordinary experiences transform you, our guest, while your support is the foundation that allows us to leave our world a better place by transforming the land, wildlife and people of the beautiful places in which we operate.
From our greater conservation model down to the tiniest details of the activities that take place in our lodges every day, every decision that we make revolves around our core ethic of Care of Land, Care of Wildlife and Care of People.
Impact and business strategies are fully integrated in our proven impact model.
It all started in 1991 with the creation of Phinda Private Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Phinda, meaning ‘the return’ in Zulu, has become the most compelling realisation of our dream to create sustainable conservation through responsible tourism.
In this time, our operation has expanded significantly across Africa, Asia and South America, and our impact model has evolved to conserve the 1 million acres of land we directly control and influence.
Our gift to you; this series of limited edition experiences are hosted by &Beyond storytellers (from specialist guides, conservationists, and locals) who will showcase and/or re-live some of our most significant milestones and collaborations of our 30-year legacy.
An early lesson was that we could expand our influence by forming coalitions with like-minded organisations
Our understanding of the compounded impact that is set in motion when working collaboratively with like-minded organisations has deep roots.
Wild Impact, our non-profit community development partner since 1992, has been a cornerstone of our impact milestones, with subsequent coalitions each playing a fundamental role in our impact journey.
Leaving our staff in a better place through a set of growth and development programmes, The &Beyond Way has roots 18-years deep.
In 2021, this commitment was taken to another level with the launch of an industry first: our formally accredited &Beyond Academy, which was three years in the making. Built on the foundation of our training philosophy, &Beyonders now have the opportunity of receiving accredited qualifications as they work.
Responsible travel has a broad reach. It touches on each and every aspect of sustainable, conscious, intentional, purposeful, eco, green, ethical and regenerative travel. In travelling with &Beyond, you are an active co-creator in leaving our world a better place.
