WELCOME TO
PEREGRINE
From our humble first steps in the foothills of Nepal, we’ve
expanded to over 80 countries across all seven continents.
Over 40 years of operating, one thing has stayed constant –
our desire for authentic adventure.
Our passionate guides and leaders will give you the story
behind the well-known highlights, then help you find the
smaller moments that make your journey truly unforgettable.
With a maximum group size of just 12 people, you’ll be
able to slip between alleys and see local secrets the big
groups just can’t reach, and eat and stay in more intimate
and authentic locations.
We’re a company built by travellers, for travellers,
and it shows in every step.
Take your next one with us.

At Peregrine, we believe small groups are the key to unlocking
unforgettable adventures.
Travelling in small groups of 12 or fewer (on land-based tours)
means we can keep experiences spontaneous and authentic
and discover local secrets. It’s the ideal number to duck
between market stalls or sit down for a leisurely meal at a local
family restaurant.
WORLD-CLASS LEADERS With an intimate group, you’ll
really get to know your leader. Share stories and meals,
getting the chance to ask more questions and go deeper
than the guidebook.
HAND-PICKED ACCOMMODATION We have the flexibility
to stay in a wider range of lodgings, and we carefully select all
our accommodation for a reason. Whether it’s the spectacular
view, central location, historical relevance or all the above.
EFFORTLESS TRAVEL We adapt our transport for each
destination, without compromising on comfort. When we’re
not travelling by 4WD on safari, or cruising the Okavango Delta
in a canoe, we use private vehicles to reduce travel time.
CURATED EXPERIENCES We’ll start with the highlights, but
when the big tour groups hop back on their coach our local
guides will help you find a more unique, personal experience.
PEREGRINE MOMENTS
After 40 years travelling the globe, we’ve learnt it’s the little things that make a trip
memorable. Peregrine Moments lead you off the well-worn tourist trails and take
you a little deeper into the culture – like learning the secrets of the San peoples in
the Kalahari Desert, or eating a home-cooked Malay meal in Cape Town.

LOCAL
KNOWLEDGE
Over 20 years ago, we became the first tour company of our
kind to exclusively employ local leaders in the destinations we
visit. Because who better to guide you through the backstreets
than someone who lives there?
Our trips feature plenty of guidebook highlights, but you won’t
stop there. Our leaders will help you to find experiences that
are intimate, authentic and memorable, away from the well-
worn path.
Our small group size guarantees you more one-on-one time
with your leader and the opportunity to develop a meaningful
relationship with them and the destination you’re exploring.
Let our local leaders show you their world.

HAND-PICKED
ACCOMMODATION
Travelling in small groups means we aren’t restricted to staying in larger chain hotels. Our destination experts
can seek out accommodation that better reflects the style of the region.
FEATURE STAY FEATURE STAY
You’ll spend less time waiting in queues for check-in and more time soaking up your surrounds. We don’t
subscribe to the idea that adventure means forgoing comfort, and the accommodation we use is hand-picked
for its quality, amenities and location. All of our standard trips also include a special feature stay – lodgings
selected for their ability to enrich your experience. What that means will change depending on the destination.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
In 2018, we made our commitment to doing good official when we
became part of the world’s largest certified travel B Corp. Being a B Corp
means we no longer merely strive to make a positive difference in the
world, we are legally bound to it. Certified B Corps are companies that look
after their staff, maintain a clean supply chain and take corporate social
responsibility seriously. That means when you choose Peregrine, you can
rest assured you’re travelling to improve the planet.
Here are just some of the ways we do that:
CARBON POSITIVE ACTION
Any emissions created by the transport or accommodation used in our
trips are offset through the purchase of carbon credits, as part of our
decade-long commitment to being a carbon neutral business.
ANIMAL WELFARE
We’re industry leaders when it comes to animal welfare – in 2014 we
were the first global tour operator to end elephant rides on our tours.
ENDING MODERN SLAVERY
In 2016 we removed orphanage visits from our itineraries, and in 2019
we campaigned for laws that recognised orphanage tourism as a form
of modern slavery.
COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM
Responsible, community-based tourism is good for travellers and
locals alike. That’s why we’ve worked with organisations like ActionAid
in Myanmar to develop projects that empower communities.
Since 2002, The Intrepid Foundation has been offering travellers a
tangible, transparent way to give back to the communities we visit. It’s
simple: you donate, we double your contribution, and then we give 100%
of that money to a community-based project. Thanks to you, we’ve
donated over AU $7 million to more than 130 local organisations around
the world, helping to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable individuals and
communities through sustainable travel experiences.

continue to grow, we’ve never lost focus of the unique style of travel we made
our name with.

that inhabit them, each sunrise filled with the promise of new
experiences and new understandings. Our larger overland trips Travelling on an overland adventure means not only

of some 27 regions. These are the perfect journeys for time to create those special bonds with your fellow
travellers with an open mind and a spirit for adventure. travellers, leaders and drivers.
In Namibia and Botswana, we use custom-built
overland vehicles. They come equipped with:
n Two-person crew: local leader and driver
n Onboard inverters for charging equipment such
as camera gear, phones and torches
n Overhead storage racks and rear exterior
luggage compartment
n Integrated cab/passenger compartment
n Large sliding windows
n Onboard lighting
n Onboard fridge and safe
n Front and roof window hatches for additional
visibility (on some vehicles)
Throughout Eastern Africa, we use 4WD safari vehicles
(as pictured here). These vehicles have smaller side
windows, but the pop-top roof hatches used for safari
drives provide additional visibility and 360-degree
photo opportunities. On the better roads in South
Africa, we use private minivans and change into the
open-top safari vehicles for game drives.
Our vehicles have been chosen with your needs in
mind so that you can appreciate the world outside your
window. As with all the best adventures, these trips are
as much about the journey as the destination.

For many travellers, it’s the dream of seeing Africa’s
iconic animals up close and in the wild that first inspires
their journey. As far as wildlife encounters go, there really
is nothing like spying a lion on the prowl, watching herds
of zebra and wildebeest storm the Serengeti or keeping
company with mountain gorillas in the misty highlands
of Uganda and Rwanda.
Yet it’s often time spent with Africa’s people that ends up
leaving the greatest impression. Whether it’s an engrossing
story told by a Maasai or a laugh shared with Zanzibar locals
playing beach football, the grace and good humour of
East Africa’s people is legendary.

There’s a good reason Southern Africa has become
synonymous with safaris over the years. Kruger’s wild
savannas, the Okavango’s lush waterways, Etosha’s vast dust
pans, Isalo’s bulging granite buttes – this region’s national
parks (and their opportunities for wildlife watching) are
world-class. Yet they’re only the beginning. Add in the world’s
mightiest waterfall and highest sand dunes, and cultures as
diverse as the vintners of the Cape Winelands and the San of
the Kalahari, and you may have just discovered Africa’s most
rewarding destination.
