Respectful with nature

Being in nature is our passion. Photographing wildlife and spectacular natural phenomena is our driving force. Without our beautiful nature, we would not do what we do, and we like to share the importance of taking care of the surroundings during our trips.

Since we started, we have focused on bringing something back to our small community. We involve local people and small local businesses in what we do, and leave as few traces as possible. Be a considerate explorer!
