How it works
From guide to going home
Read the guide
Free, before you spend anything.
Book a Destination Read
One hour tells you whether the trip you are imagining is the trip that exists.
Choose your route
A built itinerary you run yourself, a Companion Service, or a place in an Escape cohort.
Prepare
Pre-departure briefing, cultural context and, for Wings members, an introduction to women already in the destination.
Come home with more than photographs
That is the whole point.
Good to know
Consultations & guides
Paid in full at booking.
Aerial Escapes
30% deposit, balance due 45 days before departure.
Cancelling an Escape
Full refund to 60 days before departure, 50% to 45 days, no refund inside 45 days. We will always try to transfer a place to another cohort.
Cohort size
We do not run cohorts above 20 people. The cap is the product.
What we do not do
We do not sell Africa as an exotic experience.
It is home, history and roots. We will decline a brief that asks for anything else.
We do not exaggerate a destination.
If a place has a rainy season, a visa problem or a safety consideration, the guide says so.
We do not handle visas, legal filings or insurance.
We prepare you for them and point you to people who do.
We are not in a hurry to be big.
We would rather run this properly than produce a folder of assets nobody uses.
For the life you are becoming.
Read a guide, book a Destination Read, or join Wings. However you start, we'll help you understand a place before you arrive.
