expeditions

Every year, Nicos personally designs and leads five or six private expeditions for very small groups, limited to a maximum of six travellers.

Over more than three decades of exploration, he has travelled extensively through some of the world’s most extraordinary and remote regions, building the first-hand knowledge and local relationships that lie at the heart of every journey.

Africa is home. Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe are places Nicos returns to almost every year, continually exploring new areas, camps and experiences. For those looking to venture further, highly personalised expeditions can be designed around some of the continent’s most remote regions, from Ethiopia’s Omo Valley and Danakil Depression to Dzanga-Sangha in the Central African Republic and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Each journey can be shaped entirely around the individual traveller, even as a private expedition for one.

Beyond Africa, the polar regions hold a particular fascination. Expeditions range from exploring the Svalbard archipelago by private boat to travelling deep into Antarctica, where a remarkable remote camp provides a base from which to experience one of the last true wildernesses on Earth.

In South America, Chile, Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands are among the destinations Nicos knows best, combining exceptional landscapes and wildlife with carefully chosen experiences far from the obvious routes.

The Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas offer an entirely different dimension of exploration. Nicos has a particular passion for the remote Himalayan regions of Ladakh, Kumaon and Sikkim, where spectacular trekking routes lead through pristine landscapes, isolated valleys and communities rarely encountered by conventional travellers.

These are not journeys built around a checklist of destinations. They are bespoke private expeditions, shaped by first-hand experience, trusted people on the ground and a constant search for places and encounters that remain genuinely extraordinary.
