For more than two decades we have designed and managed group departures for organizations such as Brian Keating's "Going Wild", the Calgary Health Trust, the Calgary Zoo, the Royal Astronomical Society and the University of Alberta. These hosted adventures are in small groups usually ranging from 8 to 18 people, depending upon the destination and the wishes of the organization*.

When Civilized Adventures began more than 25 years ago, our specialty was the African Safari. While we continue to be recognized as a world leader in African Adventures, over the decades we have developed and expanded our offering and expertise to span the entire globe.

Around the world, we pride ourselves on handpicking world renowned experts to elevate your travel experience and expand your horizons. Have a primatologist introduce you to the fascinating lemurs of Madagascar, or a marine biologist explain the breeding patterns of the emperor penguin. Scientists, historians, local cultural elders, and passionate explorers are there to educate and inform. Hosted expeditions are enhanced by our personal connections – plus it’s a lot of fun and an easy, worry-free way to travel!
