About

Explorer led expeditions

Daniel Eggington is a solo explorer who ventures into remote and uncharted territories, far from the reach of conventional travel. His mission is to explore areas that most people avoid due to challenging terrain, political instability, or violent histories.

 

By moving beyond the fear and headlines, Daniel uncovers the true essence of these regions, immersing himself in their culture, nature, and wildlife. His explorations are not only about personal discovery but also about finding ways to safely introduce others to these hidden gems, while keeping the welfare of the clients, nature, and local communities in mind.

Our Expeditions

After completing an exploration, Daniel continues to collaborate with the local communities to facilitate the entry of small guided groups into areas that are otherwise inaccessible to outsiders. Each expedition is unique, planned, and executed according to specific requirements under Daniel's leadership. The involvement of local communities is central to these expeditions. Local indigenous people host the expeditions in their homes, offering an authentic glimpse into their way of life. Furthermore, local guides provide a level of knowledge and connection that cannot be replicated by an outsider.

 

It's important to note that there are no typical travel packages, vacations, or holidays offered here. Instead, the focus is on providing a genuine taste of exploration in areas that are not just outside the reach of tourism, but literally off the map.
