Travel with purpose
↓
With Ethos, travel is transformed by purpose. Ethos was forged in the crucible of conservation, born from the challenges facing earth's most endangered species and ecosystems, and driven by leading scientists and professionals to directly benefit local communities.
Come explore remote and unique landscapes, search for elusive creatures, and unlock access to experiences usually reserved for scientists, all while directly supporting conservation projects around the world.
The Ethos Promise
When you travel with Ethos,
you protect what you came to see.
Our expeditions are specifically designed to invest in local communities and protect the threatened species you've come to find.
Every expedition leads to conservation impact
Whether going on a more traditional safari, exploring a new place, or getting your hands dirty on one of our unique participatory experiences, you'll get to interact with extraordinary people changing the earth for the better, and maybe even see conservation in action.
Access breathtaking destinations beyond the tourist trail
Whether on the trail of snow leopards at 16,000 feet, learning how ranchers in the Rockies live with grizzlies and wolves, traveling with the San people in the Namibian bush, or helping researchers map the migration routes of whale sharks, Ethos responsibly opens the door to experiences you can't find anywhere else.
Our expeditions are built on longstanding relationships with local guides, communities, and conservation stakeholders who are co-creators of every journey. When you travel with Ethos, you invest in them and the ecosystems they depend on.
Find meaning through unforgettable experiences that leave a legacy of change
Each expedition and experience leaves behind a tangible investment in people, wildlife, and ecosystems. And for those wanting to learn more about how wildlife research or conservation is done, you'll have exclusive access to the scientists and professionals making that happen.
Deepen your insight with our exclusive expert guides
Some of our expeditions offer you the unique chance to travel with world-class conservation leaders like Dr. Anthony J. Giordano, the founder of our sister wildlife conservation organization, S.P.E.C.I.E.S., and other local and international leaders in the field.
