Mongolia · nature & wildlife
Wildlife Expeditions in Mongolia,
from steppe to taiga.
Where we stand
Wildlife comes first.
Small groups, experienced people in the field, and time spent where wildlife still moves freely. Across Mongolia, we work with local guides, rangers, researchers and conservation organisations, following their knowledge and keeping disturbance to a minimum.
Our expeditions are built around patience, field knowledge and respect for the places we visit. We cannot promise what nature will show us. We can promise how we will behave while looking for it.
We never guarantee sightings, use bait, or bring animals closer for the sake of a photograph. Whether we are looking for a snow leopard, bear, wolf or any other species, the animal remains wild and the encounter happens on its terms.

What people said when they got home
JuliaTsaatan Expedition
Arthur was an amazing guide, giving myself and my 4 friends from New Zealand an authentic and once-in-a-lifetime experience visiting the Tsaatan people. Arthur was knowledgeable, kind and became more of a friend than a guide. His connection with the locals provided unique insights into their way of life, and his skills as a translator helped bridge the gap and allow us to become immersed in Mongolian culture too. I am very grateful to Arthur for often going above and beyond to help us, for his flexibility and authenticity as a guide. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, it is well worth it!
PierrickIkh Nart Expedition
What an adventure we were able to live and share with Arthur! First, he was very responsive when we were gathering information, and available for all our questions. Then, during the expedition, Arthur gave us as much information as he could about the region, the wildlife and the plants 👌 The organisation was excellent too and we wanted for nothing! The expedition really was perfectly suited to our needs 🔥 Thank you again Arthur for your professionalism, and for letting us discover this region 🙏
