Amazing excursions with Embark Exploration Co
I’ve traveled with Embark Exploration multiple times (Nepal, Peru, Guatemala), and each trip has been incredible. The logistics were seamless, the guides were professional, and the owners treated us like family. These experiences created lifelong memories, and I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for adventure done right.

Embark Safari nailed it!
I found this 5 day safari exceeded my expectations. We saw so many animals really up close and personal, including the “big 5” , though rhino was at a distance. Masha, our guide, gave us a ton of interesting information. The whole Serengeti “vibe” was conservation oriented which I loved. Embark did a great job with accommodations, side trips and information about expectations.

An Epic, Life-Changing Adventure
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was nothing short of extraordinary!! The journey alone tested my limits and left me with memories to cherish forever. This would not have been possible without the guidance of the Embark Exploration company. Their staff were absolute legends - knowledgeable, patient, and deeply committed to our safety and success. They seemed to know exactly when to encourage, when to slow the pace, and when to share a story that lifted our spirits.

Truly one in a lifetime!
I signed up for this trip expecting just another average adventure, but it became the experience of a lifetime. I wasn’t worried about my performance and honestly, I did not know what to expect; yet everything changed because of Embark’s incredible staff. Their constant warmth, joy, and genuine care transformed the entire journey into one of the most memorable moments of my life.

Challenging trek dear to my Heart
Not having much knowledge of Peru, we embarked on a hiking journey that took us up through the Andes high mountain passes keeping our sights on the sacred Salkantay mountain. This feat in itself was a goal of my own to at least reach 16000 feet. The city of Cuzco charmed us from day one , the vibrant colors , the music and the warmth of the Peruvian culture.

Ecuador 5 Volcano Challenge
Our mountain guides went the extra mile to educate us on the flora, fauna, history, culture and geography of Ecuador. This made climbing the volcanoes even more special. One of our guides also made sure we were checked in at the airport and cleared for our side excursion to the Galapagos.
