In business since 1972

Uncharted Outposts is a USA-based, brick & mortar tour operator dedicated to helping discerning independent travelers find and book exciting and unusual places to stay in some of the world's most beautiful, remote and fascinating locations. Our site features properties that we have been doing business with for many years (some since 1972) as well as a growing collection of our favorite small hotels, guesthouses, retreats, eco-lodges, private rental properties and unforgettable travel experiences. Most of the properties we have personally visited and have given you our honest & professional opinion and also the feedback of our clients. We've included extensive slideshow of each property and of each itinerary to help you visualize the place and the experience.

Each place is unique in some way, whether in its design, its natural setting, its owners or the activities on offer. From exotic safari camps to romantic island outposts, we have put together a genuinely fascinating and eclectic range of properties and itineraries.

We are a tour operator (not a travel agent) we don't do Disney, Cruise Ships nor Europe. We are an independent, highly experienced, extraordinarily ethical company devoted to giving our clients the best possible travel experience in Africa, Australasia & the Americas. We despise bus tours and mass-market travel because it is almost always destructive in wilderness environments. We connect you with the accommodations, owners, activities and guides tailored to your specific interests and needs. We offer "very" bias advice in the interest of our clients (not of Lodge owners), we know our clients are calling us to get our opinions and looking out for their interests. We help you escape the traditional boring package trips offered by most travel companies.

From our first days offering custom travel in Africa, we have grown to become the leading provider of custom exotic travel services for discriminating travelers destined for Africa, Australasia and the Americas. Don't be fooled by the mass-market, large corporate mega resort companies that spend millions of dollars on advertising. The truly unique and interesting properties are the "best kept secrets in travel" and Uncharted Outposts is the best resource to find these secrets and to arrange your travel to them.


Throughout our history we have established a reputation for creative and exceptionally well executed travel experiences. Our clients include individuals, families and private groups. As the nation's premier tour operator specializing in Africa's small, independently owned Safari Camps & Lodges, we can state with confidence that no other company can offer you the depth of knowledge, the flexibility, and the regional insight that you'll find at Uncharted Outposts.
