Our History

Since 1994, Civilized Adventures has been committed to creating unparalleled travel experiences for our clients. Our extensive knowledge of the renowned sites and hidden gems of the world, along with our deep relationships with our partners worldwide, elevate your journey from a simple trip to a once-in-a-lifetime Adventure. We’ve trekked the Rwandan rainforest to observe the lowland gorillas, watched the sunrise over the Annapurna mountain range, and followed the trail of Charles Darwin’s ground-breaking journey aboard the Beagle. Let us take you beyond the guidebooks into a world you’re waiting to discover.

Our Difference

Wherever we travel, our quest for knowledge and desire to share the best that the planet has to offer informs our choices. We promise to get it right the first time for you, because we value your time and your experience. We are independent and unbiased; our affiliations are based on relationship, not corporate connections. Every trip begins with a one-on-one discussion with you, because our success depends on delivering an experience that exceeds your expectations. Whether you’re travelling alone or with a group, creating lifetime memories for your family, celebrating a significant milestone, or just quenching a thirst for Adventure, Civilized Adventures can create something special for you. Arriving by plane, train, private yacht, or luxury coach, you’ll engage in authentic experiences, be immersed in natural settings, and sojourn in fabulous accommodations – we’ll ensure that you travel in style, comfort, and safety.

Our Contribution

When you travel with Civilized Adventures, you are helping the many societies and charities that we support. We believe we have a responsibility to preserve and protect the planet and pursue our engagements with an eye to sustainability. We commit to ensuring that our activities contribute to the betterment of society and an understanding of the connectedness and interdependence of us all. Eating Stone School AIDS Orphanage, Planet Madagascar, Bushlife Zimbabwe, and the Christian Children’s Fund are just a few of the organizations we support.

Our Commitment

Our passion for travel and adventure is about more than just getting you there and back. We are committed to creating unparalleled travel experiences which encourage an appreciation for and knowledge of the cultures and environments we encounter. We want you to come away changed, but our travels should leave the environment in the areas we visit just as we found it. We tread lightly in our visits, respecting the local culture and wildlife habitats.
