Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

With the whole earth as their classroom, its walls adorned by iconic landscapes, worldly characters as their teachers and lessons filled with excitement and wonder, the value of travel for educating your children is immeasurable.

Our careful creation of immersive educational experiences brings abstract concepts to life in a real-world context. Allowing your children to learn important lessons away from the classroom and away from the screen. Expanding their worldview to learn new skills and build confidence, sparking a curiosity that ignites a passion to keep exploring.

 

 

Encountering first-hand exposure to different cultures, young minds are pulled from their comfort zones to gain an understanding of different perspectives, improving their ability to connect with others and enhancing self-growth. They may find creative inspiration, new personal interests, and wisdom that only the experience of travel can offer.

With an extremely qualified and perfectly discreet private tutor travelling alongside, your children can benefit from diligently planned private tuition to complement their daily experiences while you travel together.

 

 

Experiential learning can be enriching for families, bringing generations together and creating shared memories that will last a lifetime. We engineer journeys that embrace everyone from the young and inquisitive to the wisest elders in the family. Journeys that encourage new experiences where fun, learning, and enjoyment are the goal.

With your children’s imaginations engaged in their adventures, you have the space to step back and relax within stunning settings. Enjoying your own parallel itinerary to discover the world and refocus your attention on your own passions.

 

 

Bringing history to life could involve immersing children in a fantastical storyline. We have staged a mythical Greek Odyssey, in which a family’s younger members were called upon by Apollo to undertake a heroic quest to find Odysseus and save the Gods who were in crisis.

An epic journey ensued, involving a series of fabled encounters with fearsome monsters and majestic gods and goddesses. With each day a new myth was woven into the narrative and the children lived and learned Greek mythology firsthand. And as their knowledge grew, so did their spirits and their courage!

 

 

We have designed educational voyages to the Spice Islands of Indonesia, where nautical navigation was taught at the helm of a traditional sailing yacht and interactions with diverse cultures brought richness to already breathtaking surroundings.

Guests have followed in the footsteps of Genghis Khan through the expansive landscapes of Mongolia to learn lessons in art, geology, and anthropology. The dense forests of Costa Rica have formed a wild backdrop for a living biology class.

All at once engaging and exciting, enriched with a good dose of adventure.

 

 

An Illuminating Journey

While unique lessons can be learned on any journey, perhaps nowhere else offers such a rich and fascinating tapestry of teachings as Kenya.

Delving into a country of such magnificent landscapes—from vast savannahs to snow-capped mountains—experience an African safari in absolute comfort and give your children a chance to encounter incredible wildlife and cultures alongside leading zoologists and anthropologists.

People have lived in harmony with wildlife in Kenya since the dawn of humanity; their survival needs, economies, and beliefs, intrinsically intertwined with their environment. Within this great history is a platform to learn about the social and environmental challenges that are becoming amplified in today’s rapidly changing world, as well as the remarkable developments of recent decades. Encouraging and empowering young minds to seek meaningful future pursuits.
