Experts in socially responsible luxury travel. We design travel experiences that support conservation and local communities without skimping on comfort.

Custom trips for families and friends

Travel with a positive impact

Eco-luxury adventures

Since 2005 we have put together custom eco-luxury trips for families and friends who want to vacation, learn and engage with community while leaving a positive impact. Every trip is as unique as your group. No family is too complicated.

Our team travels throughout the year to scout new lodges and community partnerships, bringing an extraordinary combination of expertise to planning each client trip.

We welcome all travelers who want to be transported to some of the world’s most beautiful regions, while caring for their eco-footprint and communities on the ground.

Giving Back

We select hotels and lodges that care about conservation and give back to their communites. Our award-winning Buy A Trip, Give a Trip program funds excursions for local youth to see sites normally reserved for tourists.

The Elevate Ethos

We believe that the act of travel can be transformational. It has the power to change lives and preserve landscapes. Our goal is to use that power in the most positive way imaginable.

Since Elevate’s beginnings in 2005, we have scouted out lodges with the best environmental footprint and opportunities for community engagement that go beyond most touristic experiences. We have always aligned with values that make a positive difference.
