Welcome to Elevate Destinations, where travel reaches bold new heights.
We believe that the act of travel is sacred. It has the power to transform lives and landscapes. At Elevate Destinations, the goal is to use that power in the most positive way imaginable.
We invite you to imagine with us. Let’s envision the kind of travel that this wild, precious planet deserves.
When we work with our clients to design a travel experience, here’s what we keep in mind:
Meaningful exchange with local people.
Meet your counterparts around the globe and discover your shared humanity. We arrange gatherings with local non-profits, change-makers and doers. Whether it’s a visit with students, families, passionate environmentalists, civil rights advocates, creative artisans or bootstrapping entrepreneurs, you will hear their voices and see pieces of yourself reflected in their eyes.
Proactive conservation.
Elevating travel means assigning a high value to the things that matter. We design our trips to support local conservation initiatives that rely on tourism as a source of funding. In this way, safeguarding wildlife and wilderness becomes an income-generator for local people. Amazing animal encounters for you, sustainable livelihoods for them. It’s win/win conservation.
Luxury with a purpose.
The amenities of an Elevate journey go way beyond a high thread count. Elevated luxury is about choosing luxury lodges that are doing the right thing, and doing it well. We choose local, small-scale, boutique-style lodging that celebrates its environment and indulges guests with fine local details.
“Dominique was a pleasure to work with, I felt like she truly listened and GOT who I was and how I like to travel in the world. The trip was perfect and effortless.”
