About Us

I'm Anastasia Badalidou.

My love for animals and nature was too emotionally intense not to do something about it. It was a calling. I wanted to see them, I wanted to experience life fully, I wanted to experience awe and adrenaline, and connect with them. I'm a true believer that responsible travelling changes people. If travelling alone opens horizons, then experiences like these leave a mark on you so deep, you're never the same. You're being tattooed onto your heart.

I believe that we should give back to the world in any way we can, and be aware and responsible of our footprint. I believe that if we truly love nature and wildlife, we should cherish it, protect it and respect it. This is why animal encounters are never forced and never 100% guaranteed. I've put long hours into finding the best places where strict regulations are followed with ethical operators and conservations who truly make a difference, rather than slapping the sustainability buzzword without true action.

We support the local communities, and learn their history — raw, unfiltered, uncolonised. If you're truly a wild child, a child of nature, a person who feels the calling and wants to see the wonders of the world, leaving stunned and changed forever: here I am. Let's connect, fellow explorer. I can't wait to meet you.
