Antarctica Safari

A trip to Antarctica combines adventure and luxury for you to comfortably explore the raw, untamed beauty of the world's southernmost continent. Amidst the Antarctic scenery, every moment you'll feel immensely vulnerable and powerful, witnessing first-hand a slice of our planet's view few ever get to see in real life.

This extraordinary journey begins with a seamless five-and-a-half-hour flight aboard an Airbus A340 (or similar) from Cape Town, taking you to the heart of the White Continent in unparalleled comfort. Step into a world of breathtaking, otherworldly beauty, where expert guides lead you across surreal landscapes.

This is for the true explorers, those who want to see and do it all. You can look forward to an ice tunnel adventure, climbing peaks, adventurer’s picnics at Whichaway Camp or skiing, fatbiking, mountaineering expeditions and more at Echo Camp. Each experience is designed to bring you closer to the continent's puzzlingly pristine landscapes that have fascinated scientists and explorers for eons. And, while Antarctica’s wildlife is as elusive as it’s remarkable, there’s always the possibility of spotting Adélie penguins in the area. During your flight over the ocean, you may catch a fleeting glimpse of seals or even migrating whales in the icy waters below. And for those seeking the ultimate encounter, the Emperor penguin colony, perched high on the ice shelf, offers an extraordinary spectacle for the fortunate few who have the chance to witness it.

The best time to travel to Antarctica is from November to March, the austral summer, when it's most accessible and enjoyable. On the other hand, early in the season, from November to December, you'll get to witness the true meaning of "snow white" landscapes and the start of the penguin breeding season.

January to February, the height of the season, is marked with long days, milder temperatures, and excellent opportunities for spotting penguin chicks hatching. From February to March, the penguin chicks start to fledge – losing their fluffy down and developing their adult feathers, preparing them for life in the harsh Antarctic environment. Meanwhile, the landscape itself transforms, with the ice beginning to melt and reshape this ever-changing wilderness.

Echo Camp

Echo Camp offers a range of thrilling activities for the adventurous traveller. Here, you can scale the icy faces of stunning ice formations through guided ice climbing sessions or glide across pristine snowfields while skiing.

The camp also offers scenic traverses across the ice, mountaineering expeditions to scale nearby peaks, and rock climbing on rugged formations exposed by the retreating ice. Furthermore, there are also unique ways to explore the landscape, such as abseiling down vertical cliffs and fat biking across ice and snow. Each day, you'll wake up, yearning to gear up and get out into the snowy wonderland again.

Whichaway Camp

Whichaway Camp is renowned for its diverse array of activities. From rope walking across ice cliffs and venturing into spectacular ice caves with surreal, blue-hued interiors to gourmet picnics amidst the stunning Antarctic scenery and insightful polar talks, there's an activity to suit everyone.
Can't get enough adventure? There's even an option to experience the thrill of a zip line over the icy landscape or climb a nunatak for panoramic views.
