We Go Everywhere Worth Going

Encounters runs wildlife expeditions across all continents. We do not publish a fixed calendar. The destinations change with the seasons, the wildlife, and what is genuinely worth doing.

How We Work

Encounters is a hyper-specialized wildlife travel company. Every expedition is designed with a clear objective: to maximize your chances of a genuine wildlife encounter by being in the right place, at the right time.

Some journeys are highly focused and demanding. Others are more relaxed, but all are built around wildlife, timing, and field experience rather than fixed itineraries.
