Expeditions to Africa, India & Beyond
The Chalo Explorers Club expeditions are great for those looking to explore some of the remoter parts of the world. We plan 3-4 expeditions on an annual basis to those parts of Africa (and elsewhere) which are either difficult to access or very expensive to do on a private basis. These are generally adventures to parts of the world where the tourism infrastructure is still in its nascent years. On our expeditions, you will undoubtedly have amazing sightings in the company of kindred spirits. In the past, we have organised expeditions to Chad (Zakouma & Ennedi), Gabon, Ethiopia (Gambella National Park, Omo Tribes), Zambia (Liuwa Plain), the Congo, Central African Republic, the Pantanal, Ladakh, and Eastern India.
Our Chalo Explorers Club Expeditions:
For the adventurous traveller, The Untamed Edition Small Group Tour is the perfect match. Far from the well-worn tourist tracks, this itinerary captures the raw and untamed beauty of southern Tanzania. With tour options in June and November, this 11-day safari will quench your thirst for exploration.
A safari where it's perfectly acceptable to lie face down in the riverbed, dig your toes in the sand and crabwalk on old wild dog droppings en route to the wild dog den...
Of Birds & Bees, and Forest Elephants, Mandrills, Gorillas & even a Bwiti…
Gabon is a wild place of pristine old-growth forests where there are almost no human settlements, and where wild animals live protected within the thick foliage of the Congolese rainforest, nestled between the many rivers that traverse this west African country. This is a trip for those of you who want to see something new, something different. It is a place for the intrepid Africa enthusiast who will be thrilled by the sight of a red river hog in a wallow, or a wary lowland gorilla in a forest clearing. On this trip, (hopefully!) timed to coincide with the gathering of humpback whales off the shores of Gabon, and the troops of the fabulously colorful Gabon mandrill, we will enjoy a truly epic African adventure, moving by boat, and plane through the heart of Africa.
The Mountain Kingdom of the Snow Leopard
In the Himalayas, our safari will take place on the otherworldly Ladakh Plateau, and we will focus our efforts on the Snow Leopard, Pallas Cat and the Siberian Lynx. With some luck, we’ll also see other Himalayan specialities like the Tibetan Wolf, Blue Sheep, Ladakh Urial, Red Fox, Mountain Weasel, and Large-eared Pika.
