Wildlife, Trekking & Discovery

Our adventure holidays are created for travellers seeking unforgettable wildlife encounters, dramatic landscapes and authentic cultural travel experiences far beyond the well-trodden path. 
At Skanda, we know that adventure means something different to every traveller. Whether that’s wildlife tracking in Africa, hiking some of the Americas' most spectacular trails, or the joy of experiencing a familiar landscape anew, our itineraries are shaped entirely around your interests.
In Africa, you could track silverback gorillas through Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, follow chimpanzees through the canopy of Kibale Forest, drift over the Maasai Mara at sunrise in a hot-air balloon, or witness nature’s raw power at Victoria Falls on a helicopter flight. 
In South America, we’ll guide you along the Inca Trail to Peru’s legendary Machu Picchu, take you deep into the Peruvian Amazon, and hike the striking slopes of Rainbow Mountain. Or we could venture even further off the trail into the otherworldly silence of the Atacama Desert, the thunder of Iguazu Falls, the peaks of Torres del Paine, and the incredible wildlife experiences of the Galápagos Islands. 
Australasia offers almost limitless adventures, whether you're snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef, exploring the Red Centre, or making a spectacular snow landing on New Zealand's Franz Josef Glacier. 
And across Asia, adventure takes on countless forms: a hike to Bhutan’s atmospheric Tiger’s Nest Monastery, tracking tigers through the jungle of Nepal’s Chitwan National Park, exhilarating dune bashing in Dubai and star-studded desert safaris in Abu Dhabi. 
Wherever your sense of adventure leads, our tailor-made holidays bring together expert knowledge and hand-picked luxury travel experiences, creating journeys that are entirely your own.
