Choosing a holiday can be pretty stressful. With the whole world on offer, where do you go? When? For how long? How much will it cost? And crucially—after waiting so long, will the reality live up to expectations?
It’s not surprising then that increasingly, travelers are turning to specialist companies to make sure they get everything just right, especially given that a holiday is one of the biggest expenses of the year. And when it’s a trip to mark one of life’s landmarks, you really don’t want to leave anything to chance.
So it pays to choose your travel company carefully. At the higher end of the market, there’s a lot of competition, but one company stands out for the immersive journeys it offers.
Established for more than 30 years, award-winning travel company &Beyond has built a reputation for getting it just right. Few companies take as much care not just to make sure guests get the best experience but also to ensure that the people and the places they visit are treated with the same distinctive levels of care and attention and are preserved for generations thereafter.
“Trying to make the world a better place through travel is kind of what gets me up in the morning,” says CEO Joss Kent.
The company takes intrepid explorers all over the world. From the scorching Namib Desert to the frozen Antarctic and some of the most scenic and fascinating destinations in between.
And it’s led by someone who really has been there and done that.
Born in Kenya and an experienced safari guide himself, he’s been involved in adventure and exploration all his life and knows the travel business inside out.
“What we’ve learned is that the more we invest in our people, our communities and our wildlife reserves, the more powerful the guest experience becomes.”
&Beyond is not just a travel operator, Kent tells us. “We’re still a conservation company at heart,” and we exist to protect endangered biospheres around the world in Africa, Asia and South America.”
The company works closely with local communities in far-flung corners of the world. And to make sure guests get the best experience, &Beyond runs its own reserve camps, lodges and yachts. “Every part of a guest’s journey—from booking to flying, airport welcomes to in-country hosting—has been curated to our standards. So, wherever you are, you’re with us. You’re never handed off,” says Kent.
He continues, “We’ve secured some of the most remarkable locations on earth for adventure—yes, incredible wildlife but also rich cultural and conservation experiences. In Bhutan, for instance, we’ve set up a tented camp in a remote, breathtaking valley. Every place is chosen with intent.”
And as someone who’s done the job himself, Kent knows the value of employing the right people. “Simply put: If the guide who’s with you for eight hours a day is not the best in the world, best trained, best equipped, then that is not going to be the best experience you’ve ever had.”
What &Beyond offers
Established in 1991, &Beyond provides bespoke tour operators to the most stunning destinations in the world. It also owns and manages 29 extraordinary lodges and camps across three continents and one luxury yacht (with another launching in 2026). These properties, each with a unique style and character, harmoniously blend with their respective region’s pristine surroundings. They are touchpoints where the business generated by guests enable &Beyond to positively impact 75 communities and directly conserve 1 million acres.
The company says it believes in the power of travel to transform: giving guests extraordinary experiences while protecting nature and empowering communities.
Turning moments into memories
Where might you celebrate the moments that matter most? &Beyond can help answer that important question and create some unforgettable memories along the way.
