Our goal is to allow you to experience the wonderful world of rare, threatened and endangered species in their natural habitat. We feel that these exhilarating experiences are truly one of life's greatest joys. Because all conservation efforts need local support, we will make every effort to employ local guides and utilize the lodges run and owned by indigenous people. We also make a commitment to your comfort. It is often difficult to balance these two principles, but we will make every effort to do so because we believe so strongly in both of these ideals. Each trip we will try to have an expert on the particular species visited. We feel strongly that to fully experience an endangered species, you need to not only view them, but learn about them as well. Endangered Encounters was formed to help conservation efforts worldwide. Toward this end, we will donate 100% of post-tax profits to conservation and research efforts.
