The shift towards transformative travel is gaining remarkable momentum, with over 90% of global travelers expressing a desire for responsible tourism, according to a recent report from Booking.com. This growing sentiment reflects a profound change in what we seek from travel. In response, TerraFauna Journeys emerges as a pioneering force, redefining luxury travel not as an indulgence, but as a meaningful, purpose-driven experience rooted in conservation and cultural appreciation.
Launched on July 16, 2025, TerraFauna Journeys is more than just a travel company; it is a catalyst for change, offering intimate and impactful expeditions that not only rejuvenate the spirit but also contribute to the regeneration of our planet. This is a pivotal moment in the travel industry—where luxury is being redefined beyond mere extravagance and is instead framed by intent and impact. TerraFauna offers a heartfelt alternative for those seeking authentic experiences that connect them deeper to the places they visit.
Whether travelers opt for private tours or join small group journeys, the experiences curated by TerraFauna are crafted in close partnership with indigenous leaders, conservationists, and ecological scientists. Each itinerary is designed to foster a genuine emotional connection to each destination, transforming every trip into an invitation to explore—and protect—some of Earth’s most breathtaking landscapes.
At the heart of TerraFauna Journeys are seven foundational values: Conservation and Preservation, Regenerative Travel and Sustainability, Authentic Connection to Nature, Collaboration and Education, Cultural Respect and Empowerment, Exclusive Transformative Experiences, and Integrity and Transparency. Through these pillars, TerraFauna aims to bridge the divide between indulgence and integrity, giving travelers a sense of purpose alongside their comfort.
Founder Ami Jones, a veteran in the travel industry with a deep-seated passion for conservation, articulates the vision succinctly: “We don’t just visit wild places; we partner with the people protecting them. This is emotional travel. It is travel with impact.” Each TerraFauna itinerary uniquely balances comfort with consciousness, allowing travelers to rest easy in eco-lodges set in stunning natural backdrops, enjoy organic locally-sourced meals, and receive guidance from experts dedicated to advancing conservation science.
Upcoming journeys for 2026 and 2027 promise enriching adventures, each tailored to deepening the traveler’s understanding of the natural world. For example, the *Guardians of the Wild* expedition in Uganda offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to trek alongside gorillas and learn from dedicated wildlife ranger Denis Onyiko about the region’s conservation history. Meanwhile, *Roots of the Wild* in Argentina immerses participants in rewilding initiatives as they explore majestic landscapes, witnessing how local communities are reshaping ecological futures.
Costa Rica’s *Wild Heart* tour entails navigating through jungle canals, cloud forests, and coastal parks, spotlighting the endeavors of local communities and conservationists who are diligently working to protect endangered species. For those inclined to learn from ancient wisdom, the *Pulse of the Earth* journey in Australia introduces travelers to indigenous custodians to experience cultural fire practices and regenerative land stewardship. Lastly, *Patagonia Rewilded* invites adventurers to traverse Chile’s remarkable Route of the Parks, revealing the harmonious restoration of native species and marine ecosystems.
To commemorate its launch, TerraFauna has created an exclusive opportunity for just ten discerning travelers to become Founding Voyagers. This initiative allows selected individuals to access lifetime benefits, including priority booking, personalized gifts, and conservation contributions made in their names.
At its core, TerraFauna is an invitation to radically rethink what luxury travel can be. By prioritizing impact, intimacy, and integrity, TerraFauna Journeys provides travelers with a truly profound path forward. Every journey not only allows participants to witness the world’s beauty but also empowers them to play a role in safeguarding its most extraordinary places for future generations. In this way, travel becomes a powerful act of connection, a means of nurturing the planet, and an opportunity for personal transformation.
