Essential Recommendations for Your Faunaris Expedition

A journey into the heart of the wild requires preparation, awareness, and respect. Following these general guidelines will help ensure your trip is safe, enjoyable, and aligns with our commitment to sustainable travel.

Please note: These are general recommendations. Specific advice regarding climate, terrain, required equipment, and suggested clothing will be provided in detail within the full description of each unique expedition you book.

1. Mindset and Connection
  • Embrace Slow Travel: Our expeditions are designed for deep immersion. Prepare to slow down, observe patiently, and be present. The greatest discoveries happen in the stillness. 

​

  • Be a Conscious Traveler: Remember that your presence has an impact. Approach local communities and wildlife with humility and respect. Ask before you photograph people, and always follow the guidance of our experts.

​

  • Flexibility is Key: Nature is unpredictable. While our itineraries are meticulously planned, wildlife sightings and weather conditions can lead to necessary changes. Approach your journey with an open, flexible attitude.

2. Health and Safety
  • Consult Your Doctor: Before traveling, ensure you are current on all recommended vaccinations and discuss any necessary altitude precautions with your physician.

​

  • Disclose Health Issues: Please inform us in advance of any pre-existing health conditions or mobility concerns (refer to our for suitability). This allows us to ensure your safety and tailor your experience whenever possible.

​

  • Travel Insurance: Comprehensive travel insurance, including medical coverage and emergency evacuation, is mandatory for all expeditions.

3. Packing and Equipment
  • Choose the Right Gear: Focus on layering clothes that are quick-drying and suitable for varied climates (rain, sun, humidity). Neutral colors (greens, browns, greys) are best for wildlife observation.

​​

  • Sustainable Supplies: Use reusable water bottles and containers. We encourage you to minimize single-use plastics and choose reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreens and toiletries.

​​

  • Essentials: Don't forget high-quality binoculars, a reliable camera, and a small backpack for daily excursions.
