Our Dream

Every day, over 2 000 &Beyonders set out to leave our world a better place by delivering an extraordinary guest experience. We have shared this ethos, of caring for the land, wildlife and people, since our inception in 1991; where a humble pledge was made in Africa and, now, applies to three continents.

Whether you want to travel to Africa, Asia or South America, we are on standby to share our vast knowledge of expertise, and help you tailor-make a journey that is rare, exclusive and extraordinary.

&Beyond’s vision is based on the premise that, in order to care for the world’s wild places, its animals and its people, our company must be sustained through creating exceptional journeys for our guests. In this way, we are able to show meaningful and lasting benefits for the natural environments and the communities that surround our operations. This also allows us to create experiences that transform our guests’ lives.

Since &Beyond’s beginning in 1991, the bateleur eagle has been our company logo. With a name that means ‘acrobat’ in French, these eagles rock from side to side when they soar, mimicking the balancing act of a tight-rope walker. This is only fitting since our company ethos is all about maintaining a healthy balance of caring for the land, wildlife and people.

Our dream was born at &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve more than 25 years ago and we have since grown and developed it to span three continents.

Our customised and luxurious itineraries throughout Africa, Asia and South America showcase the wonderful diversity of landscapes, wildlife, culture, history, and wellness that these continents’ extraordinary destinations have to offer.

&Beyond has 29 extraordinary lodges and camps in iconic safari, scenic, and island destinations in Africa and South America. We also design personalised, high-end tours in 13 African, four Asian and four South American countries.

Over the course of our journey we have won numerous accolades which acknowledge the properties under our management, our travel expertise, as well as our dedication to sustainability.
