Find Your Niche

Many of the world’s greatest nature experiences are not marketed by group tour operators because they are niche markets. The Pantanal and Ibera wetlands in Brazil and Argentina, birding and wildlife areas in Peru, Panama, Ecuador, Guyana and Costa Rica are fantastic but not explored with much depth. Even areas of Central, East and Southern Africa are barely scratched.

Some of these are accessible by specialty cruises and boats.
