Your Vision, Our Expertise
Custom Expeditions
Our scheduled expeditions don't fit your needs? Let's design something that does — from private departures to fully bespoke itineraries built around your specific interests.
Every traveler is different. Some want maximum wildlife encounters. Others prioritize cultural immersion or scientific depth. Some travel with family, others with camera gear that needs special consideration. We build expeditions around your goals — not the other way around.
What We Offer
Custom Expedition Types
Inspiration
Example Custom Expeditions
These are real expeditions we've designed for past clients. Each started with a conversation about what they hoped to experience.
Photography Intensive

Two weeks focused exclusively on Pallas's cat photography. Extended hide sessions at den sites, telemetry tracking with researchers, backup locations, and flexible scheduling to maximize golden hour opportunities.
Family Adventure
Mongolia with Kids (Ages 8–14)
Modified pace with comfortable ger camps, horseback riding lessons, eagle hunter visit, junior ranger activities at Hustai, and nights under the stars. Designed for curious kids who love animals.
Research Deep-Dive
Wild Camel Genetics Study
Three weeks embedded with Wild Camel Protection Foundation researchers. Assisted with dung sample collection, camera trap maintenance, and habitat surveys. Included breeding center stay.
Ultimate Experience
Month-Long Mongolia Immersion
All five ecosystems, all flagship species, plus Naadam Festival, eagle hunting demonstration, and extended Tsaatan stay. The most comprehensive Mongolia experience we've ever designed.
The Process
How Custom Expeditions Work
1. Initial Conversation
We start with a detailed discussion about your interests, travel style, physical capabilities, timing constraints, and must-have experiences. This usually takes 30–60 minutes by phone or video call.
2. Proposal & Itinerary
Within 2 weeks, we'll send a detailed proposal including day-by-day itinerary, accommodation options, logistics, conservation contributions, and pricing. We refine this based on your feedback.
3. Booking & Planning
Once you confirm, we secure permits, coordinate with research partners, book internal flights and accommodations, and begin detailed logistics planning. 50% deposit required at booking.
4. Pre-Departure Preparation
You'll receive comprehensive packing lists, fitness recommendations, visa guidance, and pre-reading materials. We schedule a final call 2 weeks before departure to answer any questions.
5. Your Expedition
From airport pickup to final farewell, every detail is handled. Your guides have your preferences, dietary requirements, and special interests memorized. You focus on the experience.
