Zegrahm Eco Expeditions

There�s nothing like travelling off the beaten track, especially if you can do it the green way. Zegrahm eco expeditions are a good place to start your journey. An offshoot of Zegrahm Expeditions, its mission is to help those with "a sense of adventure". In business for over 10 years, Zegrahm eco expeditions helps travelers explore with like-minded companions the wild places and ancient cultures of the earth. Zegrahm eco expeditions began by leading programs to natural history destinations such as Antarctica, Madagascar, and the Gal�pagos, and over the years has expanded the scope of its activities to include expeditions on all seven continents.

Zegrahm eco expeditions follow a relatively simple, yet highly effective and successful, formula. It begins with an initial concept, thorough research and design of its itineraries, then executing its programs using field leaders who possess comprehensive knowledge of the regions it visits. But that's not all. Zegrahm eco expeditions also devises novel ways to reveal the world to travelers. In 2000, drawing on experience it had accumulated over the years, it inaugurated Africa by Air, using a privately chartered aircraft to present the wonders of an entire continent. These departures quickly took a place among the company's signature programs, and it has added a similar air journey through South America.

The number of participants on each departure is kept small by Zegrahm eco expeditions. This is what enables Zegrahm eco expeditions to take adventurers closer to where wildlife resides and facilitate closer contact with the local peoples. Besides, traveling in small groups also lessens the environmental impact on the regions explored.

Preservation of the wild is central to Zegrahm eco expeditions. Travelers are introduced to exotic, often highly endangered wildlife in the hopes of creating environmental advocates. Travel also provides an alternative means of income to the people of the regions visited, replacing logging or other habitat-destroying practices. And, when not in the field, Zegrahm eco expeditions contribute both time and resources to organizations working to protect the environment.
