New Tours for 2010
Over the last 12 years, we have been at the forefront of conservation travel and have raised more than £750,000 for local, regional and international projects, making a significant difference to many conservation efforts. It is through our clients' desire to seek out new adventures, and by listening to their feedback that we are able to offer such unique travel experiences and varied destinations. Our ground-breaking wildlife and wilderness tours support the habitat, species and the communities visited.
The recent change of name from Discovery Initiatives to Steppes Discovery and our rebranding programme, is complete and Discovery is now fully integrated into the Steppes Travel Group. This has allowed us to further develop our core beliefs and expand our range of destinations even further.
The tours shown here highlight just some of our new conservation programmes. If you want to find out more or would like us to create a complete bespoke or tailor-made trip, we relish the challenge so don't hesitate to contact us.
Chris and I will be off to Indonesia in November to look at our Orangutan tours, so watch this space for some new trips to Sumatra.
