INTRODUCING NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ADVENTURES
.
What makes a National Geographic Adventure?
.
Our itineraries are unique, whether you’re setting off across the Mongolian steppe on horseback, hiking through the Andes on your way to Machu Picchu, or climbing a little-known route up Mount Kilimanjaro. You’ll travel in small groups of no more than 16 in the company of top guides. After each active day, unwind in comfort: settle into cozy mountain lodges, charming local hotels, or spacious tents beneath the stars. And, wherever possible, enjoy the insider’s perspective of National Geographic’s experts in the field.

We’ve partnered with the highly respected adventure travel company Mountain Travel Sobek to get you out into some of the world’s most remote and spectacular places. Take a look at the itineraries and activity levels below to find the trip that is right for you.
