We utilize locally owned lodges, restaurants and operations and importantly we always employ local guides in each destination, who provide detailed knowledge, enthusiasm and insight to all the destinations we visit. Additionally we have a Conservation Partner in each destination who joins the ecotour at some point to talk about their work, and share with us the challenges, successes and perhaps failures of conservation work on the front lines. This unique and detailed "behind-the-scenes" access is what makes a Terra Incognita Ecotour different from a normal tour and sets us apart as being committed to the conservation challenges facing the places we visit.
